Hey, don't you know that Pastore is a recognized Mob expert with several organized crime books to his credit? NOT. LOL

Then there's the other OC experts Joe Mantegna, Chazz Palminteri, and Frankie Valli. Valli was formerly the boss of that infamous crime family, The Four Seasons. It reminds me of that old commercial where the actor started out, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV."


lol lol So funny and so true. If they used these "experts" in the right way they can add some insight as to what was going on in their own neighborhoods since there was a very strong mob presence. To have them commenting on what happened back in the 1930's is just plain silly.
After watching the first episode I felt as disappointed as I do when leaving an Italian restaurant in California; great atmosphere, beautiful looking people, nobody knows how to pronounce anything on the menu like my manigott', and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I just feel like punching somebody for deceiving me.
