I like M.A.D. and I like The Sopranos, so... I like this post! The Sopranos must be the first TV series that I watched and felt like reading a good crime story book, with mature content; and "mature" in this case does not mean just more blood and sex. I watched the whole series EXCEPT for the last 4-5 episodes. I don't know why I did that, but I think somewhere deep inside I did not want to series to end. I was really sad when I heard about Gandolfini passing away, I loved that actor. My second favorite is the actor playing "Silvio Dante": Steve van Zandt who is also a great musician.
