The first season of Sopranos was groundbreaking TV. I continued watching other seasons because I kept hoping that they would live up to the name, but I started to lose interest. Fortunately, for them, their seasons got shorter and shorter so I probably saw most of the episodes anyway.

Definitely watch the first season if you missed it, but if you'd want more quality TV with extreme violence, you might switch to The Shield (FX) or Street Time (Showtime, but not yet on DVD).

I love The Sopranos in which Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) portrays a family man -- with a difference. He has a loving wife (Edie Falco) and two children (Jamie-Lynn DiScala as 'Meadow' and Robert Iler as 'Anthony' or 'AJ'), all of whom turn a blind eye to his other family. Tony is the boss of a New Jersey mafia clan, and the heart of this fascinating show is his conflicted efforts to juggle his responsibilities to both.

The Sopranos is violent, however the savage beatings and killings seem like just another day at the office. There is great acting, good music and intriguing plots. I like every single characters in the show. A must see!

One of our favorite shows!! (via littleblondebabe)

Who doesn't love Tony Soprano?!? Yummy! Get your fix with this set of all of the seasons minus the last one.
