That's the beautiful thing about Carmela. She knows exactly what she's doing. Carmela knows exactly how to push Tony's buttons to get exactly what she wants.

pretty sure i would have enjoyed this show a shitload more if janice wasn't a character, or was for like an episode or two throughout. gently caress she annoyed the gently caress out of me and she just would never go the gently caress away in the middle there it seemed like.

I'd like to see a spinoff parallel series of Johnny Sack getting spun into rage at the minor inconveniences of daily life - no milk in the refrigerator, long lines at the vehicle inspection office, someone spilling a beer on him at a the Garden, etc.

I don't remember this being ever mentioned but i recently read in the Daily Mail that the guy who plays Matthew Belavaqua (guy who takes a shot at Chris and is later executed by Tony) just got out of prison because he loving killed a guy in a robbery in real life.

This is pretty cool, the original script for the pilot: http://goodinaroom.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Sopranos-pilot-script.pdf Tony was originally going to be called Tommy it seems, that seems weird as hell to me now, glad they changed it!

HBO was also paranoid that people would think the show was about singing, so they insisted on the R in the title being a handgun.

Something stupid that always made me laugh: In S04E07 (Watching Too Much Television), there's that scene where Tony gives Brian that bomb rear end Patek Philippe watch for cluing him into the HUD scam. All of a sudden, you hear Carm yell "AJ, what are you doing down there?!" in this tone of voice that makes it seem like AJ does in fact spend a lot of time in the basement doing god knows what. haljordan fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Apr 25, 2015 |

What is the deal with the Bada Bing strippers -- every other episode they are clothed. It's really noticeable in S1 and early S2. At first I thought it was a time of day thing but that doesn't seem to be true. edit; by clothes I mean bikini tops wormil fucked around with this message at 19:34 on May 27, 2015 |

maybe it depends on the director or who was acting that day? Could be budget reasons as I assume that the nude ones would get paid more. Or....and this is a stretch, they could have been doing something like an club I used to go to in the 90s. It was in Kentucky and the place was run by someone with a connection to local organized crime. The local laws only allowed nude dancers if no alcohol was being served. Who wants to see strippers sober? So, they had a beer sign behind the bar that would signal everyone. If the sign was on, that meant an undercover cop or someone they thought would narc was in the place so the dancers kept their bottoms on. If the light was off, full nude.
