I think the world is ready for this reboot of Sopranos.

These are rarely done well but when one really hits, it goes down like ice cream. And this one hits!
My two nitpicks:
1. They should have cropped it to make the aspect ratio look more like a 90s network sitcom
2. With a cast that large, the credits need at least one "and" right at the end, probably preceded by a "with".
I'd suggest: "With Dr. Jennifer Melfi...and Paulie Walnuts"

Needs more animals. Pie-O-My, Cosette.
The credit for Adriana should have been over a shot of the stray cat in the Bing.

Was wondering what I was going to do with my spec script about that time Uncle Jesse couldn't cover the vig on a loan he took out, so he ends up as the house band at the Crazy Horse.

Would have preferred if they went with the actors' names instead of character names, but still pretty great.

It feels so fitting that this includes the one scene of The Sopranos with a young pre-famous Lady Gaga in it.

And introducing Salvatore Bonpensiero as Big Pussy.

I like that the credits are for the character names rather than the actors because that implies that Tony Soprano and Paulie Walnuts and Dr. Melfi and everyone else all somehow decided to become sitcom actors together.

The executive card game is a more plausible explanation for how Uncle Jesse would become friends with Mike Love than that story about the radio contest.

Furio: "Don't bitch to me. You should have stuck to playing the music, not cards."

Much like that Brunching Shuttlecocks quiz "Christian Metal Band or Star Trek Episode" I feel like there could be a similar one for "Full House or Sopranos episode."

If we just take the first, say, three episodes of season 6 from each series and randomly sort them, we get this list:

Come Fly with Me
Members Only
Mayham
Road to Tokyo
The Long Goodbye
Join the Club

And the end credits where a flat Brooklyn accent says “The Sopranos is a Miller-Boyette Production produced in conjunction with Lorimar Pictures Domestic Television Distribution, CAPICE?!”
