 Shift in Focus | |
| There were great moments in the 4th Season, but I wasn't as caught up in the momentum of the storyline as I was the first three seasons. The shift toward the domestic relationships was interesting, but domestic relationships are the part of the Sopranos' life we can relate too.
It's that THEIR relationships are connected to a dark, unpredictable underworld that makes it so different. My favorite scene has to be Christopher's mob-styled "intervention." The marital meltdown that climaxed the season was as raw and painful as watching a real husband and wife Armaggeddon (and I've seen a few in real life). James Gandolfini and Edie Falco deservedly won Emmys just for those scenes alone. As a lot of critics and people here have said, THE SOPRANOS on a slow day is still better than the best of any other television show. | |
 A truly great series... | |
| Along with Sex And The City, the HBO original series The Sopranos took the world by storm in the late-1990s with its cutting edge drama and acerbic wit. A cross between The Godfather and the traditional nuclear sitcom family, the show provided a unique experience for a niche audience that quickly developed into a barrage of dedicated fans. Nominated for countless Emmy's, and winner of at least four in every one of its seasons except Season 2 (in which it carried home one), The Sopranos has cemented itself as one of the elite shows in television history...
Golden Globe performer James Gandolfini plays the title role of Tony Soprano, a middle-aged father of two, loving husband, and successful businessman. But contrary to a typical sitcom, Tony finds himself irritated by his kids Anthony and Meadow (Robert Iler and Jamie Lynn Sigler), he cheats on his wife Carmela (Edie Falco), and the business organization responsible for his success is the mafia (of which he is the local boss). All the confusion in Tony's life leads to massive amounts of stress, prompting him to regularly visit a therapist, Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) - one of the few outsiders he trusts. Following a classic prime time soap opera format, quite similar to the hit TV show Dallas, The Sopranos provides audiences with a glimpse into the life and times of a mafia boss, where we find out that being a mob kingpin isn't the glamour life often portrayed in the movies... The Sopranos (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "For All Debts Public and Private" in which Tony and Carmela deal with the strain on their household finances in the midst of a recession, and Adrianna brings a friend of great interest to the Soprano family dinner. Meanwhile, Tony creates a special bond with Christopher when he gives his blessing for Christopher to avenge his father's murder... Other notable episodes from Season 4 include "No Show" in which Meadow has a fallout with Tony and Carmela when she decides to drop out of college and travel the European continent, and "Pie-O-My" in which Tony develops a deep interest in Ralphie's new race horse, prompting him to spend more time away from home than Carmela likes... Below is a list of episodes included on The Sopranos (Season 4) DVD: Episode 40 (For All Debts Public and Private) Episode 41 (No Show) Episode 42 (Christopher) Episode 43 (The Weight) Episode 44 (Pie-O-My) Episode 45 (Everybody Hurts) Episode 46 (Watching Too Much Television) Episode 47 (Mergers & Acquisitions) Episode 48 (Whoever Did This) Episode 49 (The Strong, Silent Type) Episode 50 (Calling All Cars) Episode 51 (Eloise) Episode 52 (Whitecaps) The DVD Report | |
| Best show on TV, period. | |
| Another great Soprano Season. Christopher, artie (chef), and Gandolfini are extremely believeable. Their acting is incredible. (Actually the entire cast has very good actors). Even that hit man for hire from Italy plays a very scary character. It's incredible how this show is always entertaining and never has a dull moment. This show has great writing, great actors, great director. Best show on TV. | |
