I would've done this "poll" style, but since I haven't completed season 3 yet, I would've left out some! Anyway, which of Tony's enemies is your favorite...you know, the one you love to hate? ****WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!!**** My favorite thus far is/was Richie Aprile. I'd seen the actor in other bit parts, the last of which was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. In that one, he was such a quiet, meek, timid guy. But then I saw him in season 2 of The Sopranos! Man! Total transformation! I absolutely hated the guy! I don't think I've experienced such joy in a long time as when Janice popped 2 slugs in the bum! ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/cool.gif)

I agree 100%, Snake! Richie was not only the best and most convincing Tony-enemy, he was also the best new-starter character in the series so far. All the other enemies had something comical or vulnerable about them, but not Richie--he was pure menace! Interesting that he was played by David Proval, who was a pudgy, almost-lovable character in Scorsese's "Mean Streets" (which I continue to urge you to see, if you haven't already).

When I first was watching Richie I hated him and wanted him dead, and was happy when he bit it! But in retrospect, I hated him so much cuz he was such a GREAT character!! I now just wish he wasn't killed so soon - Ralphie is okay, but doesn't compare to Richie. Livia was annoying, but not so much an enemy...

I swear to you, Turnbull, I'm gonna watch it! In fact, when I picked up The Sopranos 3, I asked the guy if they had it on DVD and he said "no." So now, dense me, I don't know if he meant it wasn't available on DVD (although it seems I recall seeing it somewhere) or they just didn't have it. It was Best Buy, and they usually carry the DVDs until they're either discontinued or getting dated. I suppose if I can't find the DVD, I'll check Blockbuster and try to rent it on VHS (if they have it). ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/ohwell.gif)

TIS: I watch "Sopranos" religiously, and here in NJ, "Sopranos" is practically the State Emblem, but a GF Trilogy it ain't. (For my HBO money, "Sex in the City" is the best show on TV.) Corpuzzi: You're right on the money: Ralphie is more a nuisance than an enemy. But Pantoleone played a really menacing character in "Bound," a little-known but terrific Mob/heist movie. Snake: "Mean Streets" is on DVD--I own a copy, bought it from Amazon.

Thanks for the tip, man! ![](http://www.thegodfathertrilogy.net/emoticons/wink.gif) I dunno, though, about Ralphie being just a nuisance, Turnbull. Of course, I've only seen the first six episodes of season 3 as of this post. But from what I've seen, he's pretty friggin' wicked! ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/wink.gif)
