“the head boss that owns the laundry”

Gus is his name. Season three should provide some real drama as the confrontation between Walt and Gus comes to a head.

There were parts of this show I enjoyed, but I am with you it was very overrated.

For all the drooling and accolades about the show, yes. The actors are good for sure, but the premise of the show? The Godfathers and Goodfellas are far superior, IMO.

I enjoyed hte Godfather movies. I was so-so on Goodfellas. Several of the actors in those movies are in the Sopranos.

Regarding you not liking the show, I won't argue with that. You know what you enjoy a lot more than I do. :)

Even Godfather 3? :)

I just think all the hoopla surrounding the show was much ado about nothing. Someone else mentioned ‘Breaking Bad’ - IMO that is a very good show. ‘Damages’ is/was another superior show.

Sopranos, to me is nothing special. I’d term it a ‘C+’ that people think is an ‘A’.

Yup. Vito was fond of fudge, too. The more he got his pushed in, the better.

If you’re asking about the photo, Joseph Gannascoli’s character (Vito) was a big earner for the Jersey family. He was a closet gay, and his gayness was discovered in that scene where the screencap was taken. He went into hiding, then returned later in the season where he was killed by his wife’s brother, who was the boss of the NY family.

You think they’ll be still talking about Braking Bad after five years off the air like they do the Sopranos? Big popularity gap!

Good evening. I hope you are well. Haven't seen your moniker in a while. Same with Nita Nupress. I hope she is doing well too.

Methinks ol' Joe was at the Mons Venus. Just a rumor, no verification as of yet.
