A 4-Disc Collection…

Some suburban households have two cars. Some have two houses. But Tony Soprano has two families.

This could be why the FBI is going to such lengths to wiretap his home. Why the son of his dear late friend Jackie Aprile is causing him such agitation. Why a Russian housekeeper is searching for her missing leg. Why his son is vandalizing school property and his daughter is getting her heart broken. Why his wife Carmela is both consulting a psychiatrist and confessing to a priest. And it's also why Tony Soprano is still seeing Dr. Melfi for his anxiety attacks.

It isn't easy heading up the mob in New Jersey. But that's what puts dinner on the tale for the two families of Tony Soprano.
