I swear to God it get's me everytime.

Watching season one on DVD and it never fails. Watched it last night at 1 AM and I was soon heating up some leftover pasta. Today I watched it and now I'm craving italian food again.

They are always eating in that show and the food looks really good.

Great show but it gets me everytime.

my wife made a drinking game out of it. Every time Tony goes in the fridge or eats or talks about food = drink one. I can't remember all of 'em but you drink when the guys hug, one drink for each pat on the back durring the hug. Drink when Tony cheats on Carm. Drink when the kids whine. And so on and so forth.
