I really enjoyed this series but hardly best ever. Perry Mason, Andy Griffith, Breaking Bad to name a few that were better.
Great show. When The Sopranos started its run, my team from work started dressing like them. The shirts, haircuts and mannerisms made our team the talk of the company. “Want anything fixed, go see EQ’s Production IT Team.” Couple of posters of us were spread around IT.
We had over a 600 man IT group from all over the world. When I went to visit our Mumbai location, in the data center there was a picture of us. It was cool.
Thank god we didn’t dress up like Ghost Busters.
Agreed. Best of all time is a bit of a stretch.
Never watched it.
I knew a guy back then who would religiously record each episode and STILL stay home to watch it every week.
The third biggest leftist freak I’ve ever known, and more dishonest than the first two.
Yes...the soap opera part sucked but the gangster stuff was pretty great!
From a portrayal basis this was a very good representation of LCN in NJ. Showing these a holes as a bunch of degenerate gamblers, drug users, and violent psychopaths was very accurate. In north jersey there was one father/son group that loosely ran things. Those people were to be avoided at all costs. Even if you were a friend you were constantly looked at as a potential mark. They virtually ran things in the nj cities with their Democrat stooges up to the 80s. IMO the federal strike force program took a good deal of them out.
