During the height of its popularity, "The Sopranos" drew 13.2 million viewers and won 21 Emmy Awards in various categories and five Golden Globes and came in at No. 1 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time in 2022.

"The reason 'The Sopranos' is so successful … is because it deals with children, it deals with parents, it deals with family. I mean, I think the older characters on ‘The Sopranos,’ especially in the beginning, I mean, you don't see older characters written like that," Gandolfini told "60 Minutes" in 2005. "I just think it's so well written. The writers … I think they're unbelievable. I sit there and read it and just go, ‘Jesus Christ, that’s so g-----n smart.'"
