    Quality show, I'm halfway through the second series and I got the boxset at Christmas. I've heard the later series are meant to be the best ones aswell.
    Who has seen every episode? What was your favourite series? Do you think its one of the best TV shows of all time?

    Only finished the boxset about two months ago, without doubt my all time favourite show. Season 6 is one of the greatest seasons in television history IMO. Paulie is such a great character.

    Seen eveery season & every episode also. Without doubt one of the best TV productions ever. Hard to pick one episode over the rest, because the standard is of such a high quality throughout that to pick just one would be a disservice to the rest. That said, I do have favourite scenes.

    If you ever get to NJ, there is a Sopranos tour that you can go on, taking in a number of the venues used in the series, including the strip club (renamed the Bada Bing for the show) & the deli etc. Don't know if he still does it, but the guy that played Vito (he was the chubby gay one) actually conducted the tour... but then again, when I did the tour it was when his character was still very much a fringe one, so I don't know if he is still involved or not.

    It's a cracking series. I got the box set not long ago and watched it all already.

    Didn't ever want it to end to be honest.

    My favourite episode is where Paulie and Chris get lost in the woods it's hilarious

    Also liked when Tony got the fish from Meadow - "take me to the river, drop me inthe water" after what he had been dreaming about.

    iv'e seen every episode at least 3 times! the best season for me was season 4! funniest episode i've seen is a coin toss between pine barrens in season 3 or soprano home movies in season 6

    even just small clips from random episodes like janice getting pumped up the * by richie aprile in season 2 whilst holding a gun to her head in some sexual kick of his, had me me in tears!!

    Watched the whole series through 2/3 times its amazing :50: Don't think there is a bad episode tbh. Agree with most that the Pine Barrens episode when Chrissy and Paulie get lost is the funniest. The most memorable for me is always the last - that ending! The last series - both parts - is outstanding. But then so is the rest :56: :50:

    When I did the tour it was a guy called Mark Baron who did it. He was an extra on the show.

    Brilliant tour it was too. Takes you to Satriales and Bada Bing (Satin Dolls) which is an actual lapdance club. Also other sites related to the show. I've a stack of pics, I'll try upload some later.

    The show itself is brilliant. Watched the entire series then bought the Boxset. Kind of show you'd watch over again after a while.

    Agreed, best show that has been on TV.

    Only two that come close, at the minute, are Mad Men and Game of Thrones.

    I thought Game of Thrones was one of the worst tv shows of recent times. Watched the full ten episodes and can't understand why it's so highley rated. Nowhere near as good as Sopranos for me.

    What a great TV show.

    Dunno about the best series, but the Pine Barrens episode in Season 3 is AMAZING! The banter between Paulie and Christopher is top notch!
