    The Sopranos was overrated.

    I watched about 3 seasons of it and got bored. But I'm still afraid of spoilers for some reason. I'm never going to look at this thread again.

    Somewhat true. But they didn't know the series was going to go on that long and they cast some characters not knowing their roles would be expanded and their acting tested -- like Bobby Baccalieri.

    Artie is *supposed* to be terrible. He always wanted to be a gangster, but he was a huge pussy and nobody liked him.

    This scene with Janice and Richie Aprile is one of my favorites from the show-

    I watched the show sporadically during the initial run, it wasn't that I found it boring but I just have a hard time following TV like my tues at 8pm are always filled by X show. My friend had the complete box set and loaned it to me. I had no idea how long it was going to take me to get through it all. I went through the first few seasons fairly quickly but when the only thing you ever watch is 1 particular TV show you're going to come to a block eventually. All in all I think it came to about a years time to complete, although my friend never said it directly but I think it sort of bothered him how long it took me. He would occasionally ask me what season I was on etc and towards the end he asked me to wrap it up because he wanted the box set back.

    I remember before he loaned it to me he asked me to take great care of it because he dropped like $300-$400ish on it, when I returned it to him it was still going for the same price range. Fucking HBO.

    Exactly,
    They have more of these clowns hanging around than they do real mob guys these days.
    This video is Artie the loan shark, I believe Furio ends up cleaning his mess,

    Now he did pound the shit out of Benny in the last season, but who didn't.

    Can't believe one of the greatest shows in modern day television is getting shat on so hard.

    Get real. MAYBE now, it wouldn't measure up.
    But at the time it was ground breaking, there wasn't another show like it, period.

    But you can say that about any old good show, i.e. Sienfeld,
    Great then, now wouldn't quite measure up.

    Vikings are better than the sopranos? they need at least 3 seasons to even be in consideration.

    The Andrea episode was just great and where the show peaked and should have ended, like the the original plan.
    FTR 6 or 6a (the 2nd to the last season) was fucking awful.
