Well, with college hoops coming to an end and college foots off on the horizon, I thought I'd start a discussion thread on one of my favorite shows ever created. A place to talk about past episodes and things that might happen in the future....
~~ThE SOPRANOS~~
- Thread starter Neemer
- Start date
Agreed-one of my favorite shows. Could they have showed any more breasts tonight?? And Meadow lost her virginity to boot. All around good time was had by all!!
GREAT episode tonight... The double episode to start the year made me think that the writers had lost their touch. Since then, however, the show has gotten back to being the best thing on TV, bar none.
Tonights show was replusive, vulgar, sick, violent and nasty. Ah, quality entertainment unlike any other.....

The great thing about the show is it's on HBO. Can you see it on normal network all watered down. The show has you waiting for the next one. The acting is outstanding.
Truthfully, I thought the first couple episodes of season 3 weren't that good. I was worrying that they had mainly used all their good material. Sunday nights episode fortunately proved me wrong!
last nites episode was very good
, love the show avid soprano freak here and oh yea my wife and i are also named antonio and carmela , i think thats the only reason she started watching it , now she reminds me when its on lol
One of the books, I cant remember which one has an over/under for times Tony is seen eating. Few weeks ago it was 9 1/2 and in the last scene Tony was getting ready to go into the fridge when the phone rang and made the total stay at 9. And before you ask, I am not sick enough to place a wager on it
'Sopranos' creator in court to defend role in show's conception

NEWARK, N.J. - David Chase is headed to federal court to defend his role in creating the hit HBO mob drama, "The Sopranos."

Jury selection was to begin Wednesday in Trenton in the case of a former New Jersey municipal court judge who claims his ideas helped Chase come up with the show's plot.
Robert Baer, also a former assistant prosecutor in Union and Hudson counties, sued Chase in 2002, claiming he suggested a TV show about organized crime in New Jersey and gave Chase a crash course on the north Jersey mob.
In court documents, Chase countered that Baer is "self-delusional." He is expected to testify at the trial.
A spokeswoman for Chase declined to comment on specifics of the case except to express confidence he would prevail in court.
U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano dismissed Baer's lawsuit twice, but those rulings have been overturned.
The legal dispute centers on Baer's role in developing the show in 1995, years before "The Sopranos" became a cable sensation.
"He proposed the idea about doing the show about the north Jersey Mafia," said his attorney, Harley D. Breite. "He's looking to be compensated for the value of what he did, the services and assistance he provided to Mr. Chase."
The lawsuit doesn't specify a dollar amount.
Baer first met Chase for lunch at a California restaurant. They were introduced through a mutual friend.
"After the lunch ended, Chase took Baer's phone number and reached out to him and asked for his help in doing this project," Breite said.
Months later, Baer says he gave Chase a tour and tutorial about the Jersey mob over three days, arranging meetings with police detectives and other experts who could provide background.
Breite said Baer contributed ideas that became part of the show, including a pork store that would become the mobster's favorite hangout and a Jewish character that had ties to the mob.
The lawsuit claims Chase later made phone calls to Baer at his north Jersey home to ask questions about the Mafia in the state. Chase sent Baer a draft of the proposed first episode, according to the lawsuit. Baer responded 14 months later but "didn't make a single suggestion for improvement of my script," Chase said in a court filing.
Breite said Baer attempted several times to contact Chase after the show was sold to HBO, but he didn't respond.
In a 2002 court filing, Chase called Baer's claims "grossly distorted, petulant and self-aggrandizing" and that Baer provided a "modest service," arranging to introduce him to individuals who were experienced in certain facets of organized crime.
Chase also said practically all of the information provided to him during his visit with Baer exists in the public domain and wasn't original.
In a court filing, Chase was "keenly aware of a `mob presence' in New Jersey" because he grew up in the Garden State.
