January 10, 1999: The Sopranos debuts on HBO

The Pine Barrens Ep is my all-time favorite. It shows Paulie and Christopher (first) pumping their "own" fuel along the Garden State Parkway. WHO does that? Nobody in the state of New Jersey. It's a self-serve state. A Faux-pas from the writers room. Many cast members, including the boss Jim Gandolfini have passed away. I am an all-time fan. I once took the Manhattan Sopranos Tour to all the filming sites, including the Bada Bing! in Lodi. HBO 2 has the series on an anniversary rerun presently. I have seen every episode (4) times in each of their seasons. I am back at it, nightly for the latest run. Happy 25th Anniversary to the show's creators including David Chase who couldn't get arrested shopping the show idea to networks in the mid-90's.
