Behind The Crazy Obsession for Sopranos Memorabilia

“The Sopranos,” starring James Gandolfini, Steven Van Zandt, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli, and others, is more than a crime drama. It is a cultural phenomenon that began in 1999 and had a lasting impact on television. To show their support and love for the TV show, fans are still collecting The Sopranos memorabilia.

Behind the Scenes: The Making of The Sopranos

From the memorable cast of characters to the good vs. evil morality, shocking plot twists, impeccable music leading to the credits, and its portrayal of an era, “The Sopranos” has become one of the greatest works of entertainment in recent history.

Creating a Plot That Moved Away from Traditional Mafia Genre

Created and written by David Chase, “The Sopranos” premiered on HBO in 1999. It ran for six seasons until 2007.

The show centers around the life of Tony Soprano, a New Jersey-based Italian American mobster. It depicts the main character’s struggle to balance his home life and his life as a criminal organization’s leader.

After experiencing a panic attack, Tony begins visiting psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi (played by Lorraine Bracco). She takes on the challenge of treating Tony without knowing how it will affect her personal life.

Another central character is Carmela (Tony’s wife). Carmela’s relationship with her husband is often strained by Tony’s constant infidelity and the criminal nature of his business.

The show is a refreshing take on the mafia genre. It moves away from the traditional day-to-day mob life in the suburbs by dealing with controversial topics such as gender roles, crime, mental illness, and family.

Awards and Accolades: The Sopranos’ Impact on Television

Many critics credit the show with starting the Second Golden Age of Television. The show won many awards, including 21 Primetime Emmy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards. It also launched the careers of many actors and actresses unknown to the public then.

The Music of The Sopranos

Besides the phenomenal acting and storyline, “The Sopranos” received recognition for its music selection. David Chase chose previously recorded songs for each episode, and sometimes the crew would film a scene to match the preselected music.
