I disagree. Tony treated Artie better than anyone on the dhow. When Artie borrowed money and the French guy played him, he forgave the loan and had Furio deal with him. When Benny took advantage of His businesses, and Artie beat him up. Benny was going to hurt him and Tone did the best threat I ever seen.

Tony told Benny to chill if he wants to see his son born.
Also Tone liked Hugh, he respected him big time.

nah tony was an a$$hole. plain and simple. he was a poor leader and way to autocratic

The thing with Pie O My is whether Ralphie did or not is almost beside the point (although I think he did it, and Chase has nearly confirmed it in an interview), because Tony killing Ralphie was as much about Tracee the Bing stripper who Ralphie killed. There's even a shot at the end of the episode with Tony looking at a photo of her at the Bing. No doubt Tony has also shown a love an empathy with animals (way more than people) throughout the show, but it was inevitable that Tony was gonna take Ralphie out after the Tracee incident.

GOAT show :wow:

I miss it so much :mjcry:



With every rewatch I grow to dislike Tony even more. The last three seasons it's clear that he's is a despicable piece of shyt. Dude tried to bring down anyone around him. Think of that scene with Janus when she is trying to deal with her anger issues and it looks like she's made some progress, then Tony purposely goads her to make her flip. This kinda sums up Tony. It's a crabs in a barrel mentality. If he can't change to be a better person or be happy then no one else can. Same with the way he was always fukking with Chrissy for being sober.

All facts. What other shows do you consider GOAT contenders?

Sopranos is my clear #1

The Wire and Twin Peaks would make up my top 3.

I feel like Succession is a young contender right now. Has the potential to be a GOAT tier show.
You should watch Deadwood if you haven't. To me it's neck and neck with The Sopranos and The Wire. All 3 are brilliant and still in a league of their own.

Definitely agree on Succession.

I always think of that scene with Janice. She was a a miserable person overall. But she was seeing away to change that and Tony saw that and was :patrice:


He immediately fukked it up for her and goaded her on some a$$hole shyt :mjlol:


A tv version of Curtis Jackson. :russ:

The more I rewatch the more I despise Tony. Chase's whole "why would you want to see him die" excuse for the finale is bullshyt. Tony was very convenient about when he chose to give a shyt. He was the only one upset about Ralph killing Tracy, everyone else was indifferent.

Not only are you stupid but mentally handicapped.
His cousin killed a made guy . His cousin was never made , you also omit that Johnny gave Phill the okay to torture him when he was caught. Tony made it quick.
You made up the entire Big p*ssy story . He flipped in 95 before Tony was the boss you retart. Jackie was the acting boss. Jackie warned him about dealing H and said to come to him if he needed money.

You going to deny this scene? Admit it you never watched the show before you sound stupider.
Again it was Vito who the earner , not Ralph. Vito was the richest guy in the entire family. He had more money than Tony. Vito was the brains behind Ralph. Vito had the Columbian connect that he set up Paulie to rob. They netted over a million each.
He had video poker machines in AC. He had a meth connection and he had money in the streets. Tony was willing to give him a pass because he was making so much money. He bought Carmella a porsche, gave her 250k to build the spec house. Got a new boat all under Vito.

Phil’s brother wasn’t made, but he was the brother of a captain so same outcome I guess

Tony is a criminal, born into that life. Given no choice by his abusive family. The rest were the same . Christopher was a junkie like his father. Sil was a industrialist . He cared about Tracey because she owed him money. Paulie was the worse of the bunch by far.
Tone cared about Arther, he never let him get to deep into his world and he listens to him , he gave that soccer coach a pass because of Artie.
T cared about his first side girl. He got her a job, sent her out to get mental help when she was breaking down. Gave her money to move on. He cared about Big p*ssy. He also cared about the doctor who came to all his card games. He never pressed him or extorted him either. So to say despise him when you have Janice who was a piece of shyt who left her son. Didn’t work and was a phony . You have Chris , who was given multiple passes by the T and the crew and failed at every job he was given. You have the worse of the worse in Carmella who enables him at every turn. Tone was right in everything he said about her. Yeah he cheated but she took the money he gave her. She also cheated on him but never came clean.

Tony never came clean to Carmela he just got caught cheating because the Russian mistress blabbed.
And Chris failed at staying clean but he was Tony's main go to for heavy shyt. He killed the Czech guy, Junior's driver Mike, the retired cop and Jimmy Alteiri, he assisted in disposing of Richie April's and Ralph Ciferetto, set up Feech all cause Tony asked. He was actually fairly competent on big shyt and none of it got back to anyone because Chris blabbed.

Like I said, he was convenient about when he gave a shyt.
