What is amazing is how with maybe the exception of Bobby and Johnny Sack not a single character has any redeeming quality. Every character is toxic and a cancer to everyone around them.

“I want to see who was hotter then, Carmela or Charmaine.

Frankly, given the choice I would have gone with Charmaine.”

Janice will be giving it up easier.

“Tune in next week from 9 o’clock to 9:03 for another PAX presentation of.....The Sopranos”

“Who ate all the gabagoo?”

[dfwgator]

The only sad deaths were Pie-O-My and Cozette.

I always thought Tony’s psychiatrist, Dr. Melfi, was an honorable character. Remember when she was raped by that punk and she was so so close to telling Tony what happened. Knowing that if she did, Tony would’ve had that punk whacked before the sun went down. But she kept it to herself.

However, she did blab about Tony, violating Doctor/patient confidentiality, with her psychiatrist and with her family.

That was one of my favorite episodes, I think deep down we wanted her to tell Tony. But she was happy just in the knowledge that she could if she wanted to.

against the backdrop of the 1967 race riots in Newark, New Jersey

A desperate and naked push to involve black actors.

[Trillian]

They were. Very detailed too.

It looks like they combined farmiga with the word famiglia (family). That’s a funny typo.

[dfwgator]

How many times we’ll hear the following:

“Oh!”

“Waddayagonnado?”

“Look who it is!”

“All due respect”

Sopranos was an awesome series. This new prequel sounds interesting...

[bagster]

I'd like to be on your ping list, Albion White.

ThankQ.

[wardaddy]

The more I watched the sopranos series again

The worse Tony’s character became

[bagster]

I'll put The Wire and Game of Thrones ahead of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

Then comes Rome and Deadwood.

[j.argese]

You’re correct. I was a little kid when the race riots occurred. I wonder who they will have playing Anthony Imperiales’s character.
Also, the riots weren’t limited to Newark, East Orange, Plainfield. Some small towns were also affected.
There are some places that never recovered all thanks to the race hustlers.

“Tony couldn’t have been a teenager in 1967”

Correct. In one episode an FBI agent asks Carmella if Tony knows anything about the Kennedy assasination and she replies Tony was 3 at the time.

[Mouton]

He was a council member at that time and his group was the north ward citizens committee. Driving his armored car and keeping the riot south of Bloomfield ave during the time city hall which was controlled by the mob he was quite a sight. He was about 40 during the riot. No idea who could play him and given the bit part not sure it would be a known actor.

[Mouton]

Sack an underboss in any of the five families by his position alone had no redeeming value! Someone the equal of gotti like comes to mind through his family love.

No, it might really be good.

As examples I cite Endeavor. Endeavor Morse becomes Morse the pint swilling Brit cop series that is very good TV

Likewise, Tenison presents the young Jane Tenison of Prime Suspect. Both are great TV

If well done, with some real money invested, the young Soprano’s might be really good

Endeavor on prime is a top of the line cop show
