Sopranos Theories ain’t goin no place
Not only was he a good boss, i think he's one of the best side characters of the whole show. He is so brilliantly written with how small his role is and how little of a scene he has. In all of those scenes, he perfectly represents the cunning, manipulative, and smart boss. I love watching all his scenes because somebody can point out the little detail in his character, and it would enhance him tenfold. The fact that he subtly brings Tony down by mentioning the psychiatrist, pat under Tony's coat to check for wire, even the more obvious ones like manipulating his son or Tony to whack Johnny Sack. Not to mention, he is extremely funny and entertaining to watch. He is just as good of a character as his son, imo. Maybe even more.

Carmine Jr, wasn't dumb, he is richer than his old man by legal means, and did the right thing to stay away from the conflict while both sides killed each other, and took the remans for him with butch on his side.
Carmine was definitely the best boss on the show he wasn't a hot head he was calmer, and his decision we're fair
I'm glad you made this video about carmine. He asks about you.
"With Paulie being a mole", he'd only be the second biggest mole Johnny Sack dealt with
When I first watched the series, I didn't think much of Carmine Sr. at all. Now I think he's a fascinating character, and the most competent mobster who isn't named Livia. It's fun studying how he runs his family before his naturally occurring death!

John mentioned in jail that Carmine would not put a hit on someone if they were bringing in money. No matter how bad the offense was. Once they stopped bringing in money, then he would green light the hit.
I wonder if he was an FBI informant since he didn't get caught for so long, since he patted Tony down once to see if he's not doing the same.

Invented point shaving
I'm a new subscriber as of today. Watched several of your vids last night and doing more now. You're doing a very good job. I always considered him (Carmine Sr.) the same as you, the boss of all bosses throughout the series. Whatever power Tony had, and Tony had some, Carmine Sr. had 10X the power, 10X the muscle and 20x the $$$.
*gets a notification for Sopranos Theories* Carmine - "answer the fuckin thing"
He was very allegorical
He'll be happy to hear this
This channel is great!
Well-written & well-acted character. The connection with Castellano is tendentious. Carmine was a business-minded racketeer. Big Paul was a businessman. Carmine’s ingenuity was a gravy train for others, such as when Uncle Junior earned a Fleetwood through point shaving. Paul refused to let the Gambino street faction wet its beak in his rackets. If anyone is based partly on Castellano, it’s Junior himself in his brief but greedy & tone-deaf stint as boss. Also, there’s been no boss of bosses since Luciano had Masseria & Maranzano whacked, & nothing in the Sopranos suggests Carmine has any power over other NY families.
Carmine was the least homicidal and most honorable mobster in the whole show. He only killed when it was ultimately necessary and as the very last resource.
Carmine was the best boss

He didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete
You got it reversed actually. Carmine had other revenue streams aside from construction when at the time John didn't. So Carmine's decision to shut down their joint construction projects hurt John the most. One amazing part about the shows writing is highlighting the Cosa Nostra ability to say something without actually saying it. The conversation between Carmine telling Tony to whack Johnny Sac and Tony telling Ralph that Jackie Jr needs to go and it's Ralphs fault that lead to that illustrates that beautifully...
One of the most solid characters!
But did Carmine Sr. have the makings of a varsity athlete? Curious minds want/need to know...

Lupertazzis?! Glorified CREW!
Carmine was the one character that represented all the NY families, and in that position presented a steady force of the character. He was well liked and certainly respected. He bestowed on us a wonderfully off beat character in Carmine Jr. who probably today is still running things in the BK. Yeah Carmine Sr....Tony Lip....great character, great story. The Boss
100 percent agree
Carmine was one of my favorites he just looked so cool and had that Don energy
Interesting perspective. You are, however, incorrect. Carmine Sr. was, in fact, a D+, over-all. Fact is that Carmine and John were in business with Jersey, constantly and intimately. This "acceptance of Jersey as an actual family" was never seen by the other New York families. We hear Carmine slander Jersey as a glorified crew. However, that comes off as something Carmine has heard the other, more superior, New York bosses say repeatedly to each other for the past 30 years. I suspect that every other New York boss considered Carmine to be the runt. That is my take. edit- Also... Carmine Sr. valued money over this thing of theirs. John should have been granted his request.
I'm guessing that this perspective only takes into account the bosses appearing in The Sopranos. I'd be curious to hear what you think about how Carmine, Sr. compared with his contemporary, fictional New York family bosses (4).
Johnny Sack gotta be best husband next to Bobby Bacala
I liked carmine and always felt he was the best boss he was never emotional it was always about business rip tony lip
I had recently bought the box set at a reduced price and it was my first time watching The Sopranos. What can you say? F***ing brilliant 😂 I enjoyed it. Loved the finale and it really gets you going on all the possibilities. I went through hopefully he lives to he probably got whacked. But I have four theories of what happened in the end. 1. Tony gets whacked. 2. Tony lives by way counter hitmen. Tony knew all the ways of how the mafia and had counter hitmen in the diner. 3. The Feds arrest him at the moment Meadow comes in and that’s the end of his reign. Tony ends up in a situation like Johnny Sacks with his assets frozen and years in prison. 4. Meadow dies like how it went down on Godfather 3 but this least believable of the four. David Chase was brilliant to leave us on that note.
I took Sopranos Theories to dinner last night. Borko's got a big problem, kid.
I bet Carmine may have had a suspicion about what Tony and Johnny were planning during the disagreement over the real estate scams. Deciding to go from not backing down on his share to settling just as moves are being made behind him is a little convenient. Maybe he got a feeling that something was happening, he did survive at the head of a criminal organization for a long time.
Junior had a lot of regard for Carmine, but I don’t think it was mutual.
Considering the amount Of money tabled about in the show I don’t think Johnny sack house & car Were too much for carmine or any boss to get. This is like 20-25 years ago Real estate prices & car prices were cheaper $1,000,000-2,000,000 for a house & $100,000 for a car is nothing crazy
Healthy as a rhino that one.
Carmine took over for Emilio Barzini.
They don’t say the Lupertazzis are the largest or most powerful of the 5 families. I personally got the vibe they were the smallest of them 5
Tony “dead (whacked) or in the can”. But that’s not how Carmine went out
Soprano family? Carmine historically said that they were a glorified crew.

Is that because he realized his limitations without letting ego get in the way?
He was more like Gambino than Castellano. Gambino died of old age.
The censorship on this channel is just as bad as the Talking Sopranos channel.
How was Tony seen in a weaker manner, according to “old school”? Carmine said straight to Tony’s face that he has no issue with therapy. “Be a better friend to yourself.” I think you’re reaching there.
