Thank You Mr. David Chase for keeping me entertained for the past 25 years. I continue to rewatch your series as it helps keep me calm from my anxiety as I continue to recover from a massive near fatal stroke that took place on December 19th 2022. I watched the series when it originally aired on HBO and I watched it every week with my parents. It was very enjoyable to witness it back then. Now at the age of 43 years old I’m still very consumed with this series. It’s actually inspired me to write my own script. Not sure where it will take me. It’s just a longterm goal for myself to complete once I’m fully recovered from my stroke. So I thank you so very much for keeping me entertained for many decades. 🥂💪🏻

I didn’t realize it was music copyright that kept it off the air, but I understand it another, although not David Chase, and showing my age was WKRP in Cincinnati. Incredibly well written and they went to put it out on DVD. And I got to the episode where Johnny actually plays a hit and Andy is going insane and the hit is supposed to be the opening of the Eagles long run but for whatever reason, Don Henley continues to have a very large bug up his hind end Over 30 seconds of music then in order to put the DVD series out they had to take that out and put in something else.

The only show I watched twice. 1st time when it aired. And the 2nd time last year. One of the best TV shows ever made.

The Sopranos and The Wire are the two greatest television shows of all time. *The Wire* is the most realistic look at the dark side of American society that we have; from politics, crime, drugs, education, and law enforcement. It's downright uncanny how educational it is while being so entertaining. *The Sopranos* is one of the most realistic character studies of all time and illustrates the subtleties of the human condition to perfection; from conscience, depression, guilt, faith, and grief. It's also a damn good mob-fiction to boot. They are both two sides of the same coin, which can be summarized as: _what it means to be a human being in modern America._

Honestly, I think the best thing about the sopranos that does surpass all of other shows and it does surpass other shows in plenty of categories, but there are a couple of close shows I won’t name any, but obviously a couple are on HBO somewhere on A&E, but the Sopranos just has the funniest comedy, I think ever written in television. The jokes are absolutely hilariously funny. In a world of crime and violence and drama and also some action the comedy lines are just epic.

For Ultimo, my first thought after he describe how he get is his superpower was, "so he need to be really careful when he take a dump"😅
