the whole premise of the show wasn't the big powerful mafia don
it was about a small mob family and his weirdo crew
that's what made his acting great because he wasn't supposed to be the man
he was just the man in his goofy neighborhood
I have same feeling on the show. As it went from season to season, they got even weirder. Vito in gay club dancing with that hat and chains. Pauly Walnuts acting like fool when he visits psychic who mentions people who he killed was goofiest. The Pine Barrens episode, which I am got turned off by. They lose the Russian, go into total panic at being lost immediately, and turn on each other quickly, but in away that made them look like they were in a comedy instead of a drama.
