Trivia
James Gandolfini said that he was often contacted by real-life "wise guys," complimenting him on the authenticity of the series, as well as giving him advice.

Goofs
Several episodes show convicted felons (like Phil Leotardo) visiting prisoners who are incarcerated.

Unless they are blood relatives, this is not allowed by most prison systems, including the ones shown in the series.

Quotes
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know where I was yesterday when you called?
Dr Jennifer Melfi: I don't know.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I was outside a whorehouse, while a guy that works for me was inside beating the shit out of a guy that owes me money. Broke his arm. Put a bullet in his kneecap.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: How'd that make you feel?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Wished it was me in there.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: Giving the beating or taking it?

Alternate versions
In January 2007, US network A&E began airing the edited-for-syndication reruns of the show. Scenes featuring nudity, sexual activity and violence were replaced with alternate versions or were excised completely. The profanity was dubbed over.

To call this a show it's unfair... It's the pertect 86 hour movie!

Simply the best writing, and the best acting... I've seen it five times and it never gets old... I'm an absolut tv and movie geek, thousands of hours invested in this "lifestyle" and still nothing beats The Sopranos... And nothing will ever beat it... James Gandolfini steals every second of his screen and non-screen time, makes you wish these guys would still be in the 20th seasson if James would be alive! Can't wait for The Saints of Newark... Johnny Boy Soprano played by Jon Bernthal OMFG!!
