I think the show basically depicted how the mob was in the early 80’s. 62 murders on screen. Tony ordered 12, and personally carried out 8. For reference, Gravano was convicted of 19 murders. 
 

The last mob hit in New Jersey was 2007. A Lucchese captain got blown away in broad daylight in a diner parking lot. It’s believed a set of The Bloods affiliated with the Luccheses did the killing.

The last mob hit in New York was the 2013 murder of Michael Meldish. Again ordered Luccheses. They found an African American guy dying of cancer to pull the trigger. The case is infamous because it brought down the entire administration of the family.

The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was?  And I will be, even more so.  But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.

Rewatching for the 7th time I think. Mrs. sunshine and I relocated to our family's fish camp on Lake Rayburn while our home was being built 22 years ago and had no TV unless you finagled the antenna just so. We resorted to our Sopranos collection on DVD and hence baby sunshine was created but we're separated now and mrs. and baby sunshine hate my guts. Fair enough. On my current rewatch I'm up to Season 3 Episode 4 which is appropriately titled "Employee of the Month" and I've decided I wouldn't hire anybody related to me or named Aprile to do fucking jack shit

Favorite qoute that I use to this day is

"What do you suck your brothers cock with that mouth" -Tony Soprano 

I still look at my wife when I buy her diamonds no matter how many or how little and say “it’s got more carets then bugs bunny”

Also rewatching in case it wasn't obvious from my posts.Up to season 6, episode 13 "Soprano Home Movies." Bobby kicking Tony's ass was nice but the Monopoly house piece stuck to Tony's face by his blood afterwards was a really nice touch

Cameo by Martin Scorsese and, let's not forget Peter Riegert as the good Assemblyman Zellman.

 

"Tony No!"

That wasn't actually Scorsese. It was an impersonator.
