Was waiting to see this comment 😆

Yawn.......after 10 yrs of seeing the same comment it gets kinda boring.

Those tv stations at seaton hall were 7ft tall some of them!

I’m glad that didn’t happen. If Fox got their claws on the Sopranos there would be a great deal of stuff they’d take out.

They wouldn't even been able to swear on Fox also

It’s like a resort at Captain Teebes!

Did she have the silver bird packages?

Damn it, I read that in Tony’s accent

"ITS A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY👌" .. gotta get the handmotion with it.

Whatever you call it, it's going to cost four or five large a month . . .

I’ll say!😂

I just got done watching that episode 2 days ago and literally died for a few seconds, just imagining the landscaper dude flying out the tree revving up a chainsaw. “OoOH!” 💥👊🏼

✋🤘

One of the best scenes in history.

remember paulie calling the czech an interior designer lmaoooo

That was all fabrication. Michael has stated in pervious covers about the Sopranos that, that is not true and the Don or the boss can basically wear what he wants. And the original story was it was in a shop someone told James that.

They are tough as nails too. my girlfriend is of italian descent, her great grandma used to work in a factory; there was an accident one day, she lost her arm, acted like it was no big deal, never complained not even once. Incredible mental fortitude.

I think that’s just 90 year olds. My Swedish grandma was the same. She was just ready. But she let us all know she was ready.

My grandma is 86 and according to my dad she’s been saying she’s ready to die since the 1980s lol

It’s not only Italians. My Irish born mother tells her grandkids every Christmas that this will definitely be her last one. Been saying that for 6 years now

I think that's every grandma.

Loved Corrado

Call me a sadist or a schadenfreude lover but Tony's crazy, effed up marriage with Carmela was why I watched the show. It was great but at the same time, added some realism. In fact, one episode or two gathered a few Emmy nominations solely based on the Tony/Carmela conflicts.

I started watching for the first time for the past month. So sorry I didn't have cable back then. I'm often Googling the cast! Awesome show!

Or because in reality they were just a glorified crew so it really didn't matter if he went to a therapist

@@lilfairycupcake you get to see true perspective and how the mind works in the character , those scenes are the most telling out of any other because of how dead honest tony is at times or if he lies even in therapy , it gives u insight on his character

😆

Whatever happened there

@2 Crazy He was quoting Little Carmine, he wasn’t actually asking what happened. Also Tony definitely wasn’t wondering if Ralph was gay or bi he was just trying to find out about the BDSM kinks Ralph was into

I actually know two people who stopped watching the show because of that dark, violent scene.

@2 Crazy He wasn’t literally asking what happened there. Think you need to rewatch the show bc your comment is way off

Not Michael's family

lol, uncle Jnr and Livia soprano left the chat

Never a truer word said, family first, no matter what

Not my family .

takes a long time to build loyalty which a family is your first encounter with that. Friends are a close second but you have deeper roots with your family so the quote is true.

Disagree, season 1 is the best. It has the strongest storytelling

@@PolishGod1234 season 6 is definitely the best. captures the reality of the mob life and the darkness of the show

@@PolishGod1234 Same here i think the best it perfectly captures the street level crimes pshycological aspect and is immersive,Tony was actually smart and hustler and they balanced drama and crime with great episodes like - College(mine favorite),Boca and I dream of Jeannie Cusmano

Are the plumber mario and luigi

I love this crowd

I get no respect, no respect

What's this, the Catskills?

Your inner Rodney coming out lol

Yea, and Paulie notices his diminishing status too. Johnny Sack manages to take advantage of that.

Silvio's loyalty is hard to explain. You never felt that he was extremely loyal to Tony, but then again he always acted properly , always earned , never did anything wrong . So yeah I'd probably agree. He probably was the most loyal

I think he kept him out because Silvio’s character as far as casting was like a spoof of a typical wiseguy. Silvio was a terrible actor and played the role horribly, like I said I don’t know if that was intended by chase or not, but luckily he was surrounded by great actors and everyone kinda just laughs it out or ignores his acting.

I love Silvio too. He proved his loyalty 1,000 times (especially with Pussy and Burt Gervasi).

@Jay I never liked the character, they should of had someone else play that role. He couldn't capture the actual behavior of a mob guy if his life depended on it. Or even capture 10% of it, to each his own but to me Van zant should of not had that role.

HBO is was X rated back in the 90s...Network TV wasnt at the time...

After Sopranos we got Six Feet Under, Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Deadwood, Mad Men, True Detective, Lost, etc. The only shows before Sopranos that you could give major props to are NYPD Blue, Twin Peaks, maybe you could say Twilight Zone, etc. But after the Sopranos we got so much amazing television content. It changed the way TV was perceived.

Nah, Twin Peaks did that

@@BrokenGodEnt Twilight Zone for sure, the original

Not ever seeing an episode was me, until recently. Someone gave me Season 1 on disk, and I took forever to actually watch it--ten years after Gandolfini's death. Some of us are content to remain behind the times, but at least I now understand what everyone has raved about.

@@chuckgoldberg3656 ya this is different Im way behind times never seen Breaking Bad I understand.

Good guy plays guitar for Bruce Springsteen good friend

@@nrw9724 yes he was

Tony and Silvio had the best and most trustworthy relationship in that entire show now that I think about it, I remember only one instance where things got a little shaky and it was practically nothing.. but for the most part Tony had serious issues with every single player on his team (including his actual family). That just goes to show what kind of consigliere Silvio was. Those who want respect, give respect -Tony Soprano

😂😂😂 One of my favourite scenes of the whole show

Yeap and David Chase talks about that relationship very specifically. I remember this guy was talking shit about Sopranos out of spite in a different show. I wonder what is changed...

Well thats what he just said in this video. Not telling us we don't already know after watching this. Lol

That was what got me started on the show. The first 5min of sopranos i ever saw was tony tries to do something nice for his ma, but she wont let him in the house. Pretends to not know who he is. And he just keeps trying. Pissed off, but keeps trying. I laughed for 5 minutes straight. I got more validation out of that one scene than anything else that was ever on tv.

**points finger in your face** "I don't like that kind of talk! It upsets me."

That’s unsettling

"hey no offense, but you ever got yourself checked for tourette's?"

You hear that Tone? I said he he he

That ones laughing, Poison Ivy?

Well said.

Even more so, if the show was narrated instead of him seeing someone to let the thoughts out, it would pull from the character of Tony. Chase could’ve written the show with the exclusion of Melfi in the regard that he was just narrating to an audience, but that is so unlike his character that it would seem unnatural. I don’t think Chase strived for it to be the most accurate depiction of a mafioso family, but with the inclusion of a psychiatrist, it helped ground Tony’s issues to where instead of speaking to the psychiatrist, you kind of feel like he’s talking to you about his issues, especially within the first season of the show.

Melfi represented the audience and the therapy sessions was Tony talking about his life directly to the audience, giving us insight on how he thinks during the scenes. Melfi’s therapist represents the creator, David Chase. Her therapy sessions represents the creator talking to the audience about how we perceive Tony and how we wanna glorify and see him succeed even tho he is so evil.

Initially yes during the run of the show the shrink played well, but in reruns or the box set I have, I fast forward through the shrink scenes. They didn't age well and become a distraction from the drama and comedy.

​@@robertmielke3380 Fast forwarding through them is a good idea on rewatchws, but I think they've aged great. Especially for its time, The Sopranos has one of the most realistic depictions of therapy I've ever seen. It would've aged worse if Melfi wasn't perfectly professional, but she just did such a good job of being an extremely realistic psychiatrist.

That stuck with me too.
