characters we would of liked to see more of...

There were so many characters in the show, but who do you think should of had bigger roles? personally I liked Gigi the Captain that Ralph replaced. Also I loved when Frankie Valli played Rusty! would of loved more scenes with him. Juniors enforcer Mikey was also a good character-a real nasty piece of work, but it made sense I guess to whack him out.

I would have liked to see more of meadow if you know what i mean..

i would also have liked to see more of Hesh and Uncle Junior, especially Jr as he's not in many episodes towards the end..

Albert "the parakeet" Barese was funny but he disappeared in the beginning of season 5.

I dont know if youve seen the show Brotherhood seasons 1-3
john fiore who played (Gigi Cestone) plays Providence based new england mob boss Alphonse Nozzoli and the same actor that plays Mikey Palmice Plays the mayor of Providence in the same show

I'l have to check that out.

I liked Feech La Manna and was kind of bummed when he went away. Furio when he was just a bad ass enforcer as well.

Does the show have more Italian mafia elements?

On a serious note I wud have likes to seen more of larry and albert baresse. Feech LaManna also.


On a lighter note I wud have liked to seen more of adrianna. They cud have worked in 1 nude scene LOL

I actually quite liked MIkey Palmice. Loved the scene when he threw the drug dealer into that waterfall and then gave those Black guys some money: "what happened here" "motherfucker was saying he didn't want to live no more" LOL

Mikey was a good character but the way ths show played out they had to clip him

Yeah it was kind of like Tommy Bilotti with Castellano... he had to go

The mafia element features in all seasons but becomes more involved later on. The Irish Caffee/Cork crew of Brotherhood has always operated independant but "below" the Italians in the series, and for the most part respect a truce of sorts (which does however enrage Mike Caffee, the crazy Irish bastard who cant understand why his five or six man crew couldn't stand up to Nazolli and the whole RI mob)

Jason Isaacs does a great turn as Mike. And his brother Tommy is played by Australian actor Jason Clarke, in another great role. Im not 100% Nicky but I think Clarke is from Perth as well.

Its different from Soprano's, but a great series. Its problem was never critical response; its almost universally praised, its just never picked up those Nielsen Ratings.

On topic but...
A couple of those Camorra guys (and the girl) from Series 2, as well as Furio in later series.
Little Allie Boy Barese (there is that small clip of him meeting Tony later, and he looks like he'd aged since his cousin went away)
And yeah Gigi Cestone (incidentally, John Fiore does a great job as Al Nazolli in Brotherhood; a totally different kind of mobster but; instead of the stoic, steadfast and reliable capo Gigi, Nazolli, a boss, is kind of arrogant, cocky and, well, in love with himself a bit)
Corky Caporale, Chrissies "associate",

Generally though, I liked how characters that in earlier episodes were more or less background came to the fore in later ones, and how guys were always unexepectedly always either out or in, some stars rising and others burning out.

Was this show on foxtel? Did it come out over here Mickey?

It was a Showtime production, and yeah Foxtel carried it. They probably still show rpts.

If it has Italian and Irish mob elements, then i will give it a try..

You know who Id like to see more of? The Zips.

i saw all the episodes of brotherhood online i think they are on netflix now as well it was a great show honestly

i just start to watch it, i am on season1 ep.2 and i love it. It sure deserves a better rating and credit.

Better than it already has?

So far, yes.. I am not sure how the serie will come up, so far so good. Ratings is around 7,5. It could get an 8.

What show have you been watching? Sopranos is hailed as the greatest television show of all time, bar none, with the possible exception of the war (just critically speaking).

We all know Sopranos and how great it is, but i am talking about Brotherhood. I think it deserves a better rating.

My mistake. Never even heard about it.

Oh, and is Max Casella good on Boardwalk Empire? Because I would have liked to see more Benny Fazio.

Yeah hes doing a good job, he has a major role now compared to the minor one in Sopranos.

I know what you mean. Mmmm....Jaimie Lynn Sigler. Er. DeScalia. Whatever.

Im gonna go out on a bit of a limb here...you guys know that intro scene in either series five or six (dammit, brain...not function) where Meadow is in her underwear dancing for Finn in their bed-room? If you puase it at the right time you can see the outline of her hoo-ha. Swear to God.

Obviously, its best to do it without your partner/signif.othr in the room. Especially since it may take a few attempts to get just the right frame.

Okay in lieu of that last post I officially concede Im disgusting. No way Id ever let my girlfriend see this site

- Albert Barese
- Anthony Maffei
- Giuseppe Scerbo
- Robert Coniglio
- New York guys
- - Gerardo Torciano

Definitely Richie Aprile. Very authentic and funny at the same time.

When Sil and Paulie tells him to build Beansie a ramp and he says: "maybe I could fuck his wife while I'm over there..."

And when Tony says: "I thought I told you to back off Beansie", and Richie replies: "I did. Then I put it in drive".

Funny.

Definitely Patsy Parisi.

Tina Francesco she was hot.

Joseph "Beppy" Sasso and this is why:
1. He was Junior's Underboss meaning he was a very important person we heard from him only twice and he was never mentioned again he was most likely Junior's protege and had he not been arrested would have most likely took over as Acting Boss and continued to war against Tony into season 2
2. The way he said 'Fuck' when he was arrested it was funny

I second that.

Bobby Baccalieri Sr. One cold blooded son of a bitch

I would say Richie who i thought was hilarious but his character could've gotten old after a season or 2.
