im new here so obviously im just seeing this post for the first time.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. The Sopranos is and will be one of the greatest shows of all time (if not the greatest). In the lexicon of tv shows (network and cable) nothing can compare to the way the Sopranos started, and finished. It was colossal. James Gandolfini brought so much to his character. All the characters were played to perfection. The show was so perfect, that they even have the DeCavalante crime family of new jersey (on wire tap) talking about how realistic the show was. You can't get better than that.
David Chase wrote some pretty good fucking television back in the day. The Rockford files were fucking great.
Sure, the ending was a bit bad for the series, but who gives a shit? It's still amazing. I can watch these things over and over again no problem. It's like the Godfather. No it's better than the Godfather.
so yeah, Tine, suck it on this one, bc critics all around the fucking world disagree with you. I have to disagree with you.
If i ahd to rank it, it'd say TOP 5 shows of all time (in no order) are Seinfeld, Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, and Cheers.
you're welcome.
