The theme of both the Sopranos and Analyze This is about mob bosses seeing psychiatrists. Both premiered about 1999. To which did the theme first occur?

Im going to have to say the Sopranos. Episode 1 premiered on January 10th, I believe. Plus, the first season was filmed in 1997 - before Analyze This was filmed, I think.


That's correct, but Billy Crystal claims that ANALYZE THIS "sat on the shelf" since around 1992 or 1993.


It's a shame that they didn't leave Analyze That on the shelf.

I actually liked both Analyze This and Analyze That. They were pretty funny, IMO.


Analyze That funny? Surely you gest! It was crude (script writers always revert to crude when imagination escapes them) and unfunny and a waste of talent of several of its main characters. In Analyze This, DeNiro came across as a real mob boss, spontaneous, and the chemistry with Crystal was superb. None of that in the sequel.
