TV: The Sopranos Season 3 (2001)*****

I'm pretty sure The Sopranos is myfavorite TV show. It is the TV show my brain craves to watch the most, and every episode I've seen (all of them) are valuable. The past week or so, I've been re-watching season 3 and dogonnit, if it isn't chock full of the best Soprano moments!

* To start the whole season off, there's the FBI's effort to bug the Soprano house. The coordinated effort is soundtracked with the Peter Gunn spy theme mashed with Sting and the Police Every Breath You Take.

* The funeral Tony's mother dreaded and hoped wouldn't happen. Click here to watch. 

* After Dr. Melfi's horrible rape, the moment she realizes she has the power to have her rapist taken care of, but she decides not to use it.

* After AJ and friends break in and vandalize their school pool house, the Newark Police's super detective work with pizza forensics. The camera and editing in this scene is pure and beautiful comedy. Click here to watch. 

* The Big Mouth Billy Bass gift and related dream sequences.

* Paulie and Christopher get lost in the wintery southern New Jersey woods. This is top quality acting people. Click here to watch. 

As I said, this is one of, if not my #1 favorite TV show, so it gets five stars*****. 

I re-watched The Sopranos Season 3 thanks to my Amazon Prime subscription.

  1. That Paulie and Christopher episode stands out as my favorite of this show. In a series about the mob in the city an episode about two guys tracking down a Russian in the snow is one of the most entertaining.
