Summary: You talkin' to me?
Review: Hilarious series!!!!! Very addictive and extremely fun to watch. If you like action and suspense you will fall in love with this family. Highly recommended, not for the weak of heart though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Gift for someone who doesn't get HBO but has...
Review: everything else!!!

My dear old retired dad doesn't get HBO. I just knew he would love Tony and Company. So, I sent him the First Season and after awhile called him. I asked him how he liked the Sopranos and he told me that he hadn't gotten around to watch it yet. More time, more calls, same response.

FINALLY, I call and ask if he'd watch it yet and he tells me that he is unable to do his "spring cleaning chores" because he is glued to his TV! He loves it. He even told me is starting to feel sorry for Tony because of his mother.

I have finally found something I know my father truly enjoys... Bada Bing!

Summary: Get in late on the Sopranos?
Review: I didn't get into the hype until one evening I decided to go ahead and sit down and "try" the Sopranos. I had never had a clue as to what it was about (hell, I thought it was about music or something!). I was hooked with the first few minutes I ever saw of the HBO Original Series. It was in the second season that I had begun watching, so I needed to catch up. The Sopranos complete First Season is the best way of catching up, whether you rent it or buy it, you must see it. I own it, and I've constantly watch the DVDs over and over and over again! I just can't get sick of The Sopranos!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOTT!
Review: All i have to say is that this is the best show on tv today.It is a great way to show the life of a head of a mob family. Tony is the best out there. Their are twist and turns in the story line but it all connects to the main them of the story.They have conflicts that every one can and probaly will deal with at least once in there life.Peace

Summary: The Sopranos..........The Ultimate Hit!!!!!
Review: *The Sopranos* is the ultimate organized crime television series of all time. This ranks right up there with The Godfather I & II and Goodfellas. The whole show rings so true to life, with the language, the day to day problems of coping both with 'THE FAMILY'as well as The family, present a study in human interaction that I find completely mesmerizing. I have watched every episode of all three seasons a minimum of 5 times, some as many as 20. A true classic, this is television at it's finest, the ultimate series that will last for many years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Flat-out great. It's the reason I signed up for HBO!
Review: My wife and I made a long drive from Tucson up to San Francisco and back. We were fried. We got back on a Saturday morning and she asked me if I'd go pick up a movie. I returned with the complete first season -- and more credit card debt... We'd seen the occasional episode of The Sopranos and I had a gut feeling that I was gonna like the show. Well, we started watching the first season and we stayed up late Saturday and then spent all day Sunday watching the entire first season. It was TREMENDOUS. After that, we ordered HBO. I wasn't going to miss any more Sopranos. I bought the second season the day it came out and, again, same story: we watched it straight through. What's nice about the show, though, is that even though I've seen all these episodes now, there is so much well-written material and so much going on that you can watch it again and again and catch something new each time. It's a great show, and the collected first season is worth the money! (Try and find it used if you can and save some bucks...) FIVE STARS. If you don't agree with me, I'll Tony and he may have ya whacked!

Summary: it's hard to explain
Review: words cannot describe how classy this is. it's almost a sin to watch it. it's easy on the eyes, you could watch every single episode in one day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely one of the best television series ever aired.
Review: About two weeks ago I got my copy of the first season in the mail, and was estatic to finally have all the episodes, in order, to be watched at my disposal. Up until then, I had only been able to watch whatever episodes were available at the local DVD rental, which was quite a hassle.

Within two days of recieving this boxed set, my girlfriend and I had watched the whole set. Four episodes one day, then nine the next.

If you ever enjoyed Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Scarface, The Godfather... any of these classics, or even if you were ever the one rooting for the badguys in all the crime movies we've loved for ages.. watch this.

The Sopranos -- The story of Tony Soprano, a middle-aged New Jersey mobster who everybody knows runs the show, without the official title of "Boss". It's his family--wife, son, daughter, and his family--friends who are like brothers, also partners in crime.

It's something society has been subtley begging for, for ages. Without someone standing up and saying "look, we wanna' see money, blood, anger, frustrations, and love. We want to see some hard folks do some hard things and show how it is to live the life we all want but are too afraid of our society-induced norms to live".

WARNING: Do not be alarmed if while/after watching this show you want a life of crime, for this is a common side effect of watching The Sopranos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Givin' me Agita!
Review: What a great show! The Sopranos is one of the best shows on TV today, and is probably one of the best shows in the history of TV. This story of a mafia boss and his 2 families explores notions of filial loyalty, the Oedipus complex, psychotherapy, marriage, parenthood, and much much more. Gandolfini is amazing as the conflicted Tony Soprano, trying to balance his home life with his other Family, the New Jersey Mob. Tony is at once repulsive in his violent and self-centered attitude, and yet lovable as a father who genuinely wants to do good for his family. And although Tony is the central character, every actor gets their chance to shine, and they all have their own feelings, stories, and demons. A great show that runs the gambit from drama to comedy and everything in between.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: and "friends" is a number one show??????
Review: in this day and age of un-watchable prime time television, "The Sopranos" finally gave me a reason not to ask myself "why?" when i pay my cable bill. while it is set up as a drama-type series, it is the funniest show on t.v. then again, while it might be a sit-com, it is the best drama show out there. the show is naturally dramatic and naturally funny at the same time, depending on how you view it. james gandolfini is excellent as tony soprano. i compare him to archie bunker, a man you hate to love, and, from my perspective, that is high praise. up until i viewed the sopranos, i considered "all in the family" the best t.v. show ever. tony soprano and archie bunker, in my mind, are the two best characters in television history. and when you think about it, they are exactly the same.
