am i'm the only one who felt like those 2 seasons were the best ?
the more i watch the show the more i realise that all of the ralphie drama made them that good.
since he was gone everything changes, then in season 5 the drama was more on the outside of the family (the shit with NY and stuff) and things went down bad for the tony...
even when ralphie made that joke, tony didn't had a any ''risk for his or other members of his family life problem'' because carmine sr decide that he want ralphie. even in a cost of getting his underboss killed.
ralphie really was an excellent character.
