Why Didn't The Soprano Family....


Own a pet?

Approximately 66% of American families own a pet. As we all know, Tony was an animal lover, yet he didn't own a cat, dog or any other pet....

reply

What you on about? The family had their ducks. They had bird feeder.

reply

That's wild animals visiting Tone's pool, not pets.

He's obviously joking boss

reply

They’re part of the approximately 34% that don’t own pets. Besides, who the fuck is going to care for the pets? Tony had his share of pussy....cats, Carmela was more into Furio’s sausage and her status, Meadow was too busy with....herself and AJ.......would you put him in charge of an invisible dog, much less a real one????

reply


Hmmm.. "Furio's Sausage". I haven't seen that at my local super... LOL

reply

Why were you looking???? lmfao

reply


Morbid curiosity??

reply

No problem. I understand.

reply

Its a plot hole

reply

I assume you are kidding. They did have dog at one point. AJ mentions it got hit by a car

reply

I don't recall any such scene. Do you remember what season and episode?

reply

At AJs girlfriends house when his friends were asking why they didnt have guards or attack dogs like the corleone family. Aj said they used to have a dog but it got hit by a car. Also not having a dog is far from being a plot hole

reply

I've seen The Sopranos all the way through around 8 times. I also do not recall Tony's family ever having a pet dog. Perhaps chriscon1981 is getting confused with the dog that Tony had growing up, as discussed in Camelot.

reply

No chriscon1981 is not confusing it with anything. The episode where aj and his friend go to devin pillsburys manison. He says they used to have a dog but it got hit by a car. Maybe you should watch it a 9th time

reply

Season 4 ep 6 starts at the 3 min 5 sec mark, chief

reply

I don't have HBO or the DVDs so I can't confirm anything. Sorry. As it stands now, its a plot hole unless we see definitive proof

reply

also stupid, not having a dog is not a plot hole, i grew up without a dog

reply

I confirm it.

His friend ask him : "you have attack dogs on the property?"
AJ said "no. I mean, we did but she got hit by a car"

reply

I don't recall any scene at devin pillsburys mansion. You sure you are talking about Sopranos?

reply

[deleted]

Yes I recall that scene. Tonys dad gave the dog to that woman who guest appeared in that episode. Chriscon got confused and mistakenly took that as the Sopranos family dog

reply

no dummy, that was the scene where tony talked about his childhood dog his dad gave away...this is AJ talking about their family dog that got hit by a car. I am confirming the episode and exact time where he states it

reply

I have a friend with the DVD set and he will check now. He is verifying your false fact about season 4 episode 6 and I will let you know what he tells me

reply

I just watched it. It starts at 3 min in. Also how is not having a dog a plot hole

reply

Ok, this time you were correct. They did have a dog that got hit by a car. Its a plot hole because they never got another pet and Tony loved animals. It made no sense that they would not get another pet. Do I really need to explain that? You couldn't figure that out

reply

Who the hell was going to look after the dog. You are reaching big time there. Lots of people don’t get another pet after one dies. Happens all the time. Not having a dog a plot hole hhahahahahahaa gtfo

reply

Not having a dog is a plot hole since we know Tony loves animals and they previously had a dog. It would have made for great scenes in episodes watching each family member take the dogs on walks and seeing the dog interact with the family and various guests in the Soprano house. Maybe even have an episode where the dog ran away. Its a shame we never got to see this on the show so the plot hole lives on

reply

I don’t think you understand what plot hole means and that’s the problem. Either that or you are not very smart

reply

Or you’re a troll only possible options

reply

You've got a big fuqqing mouth, chriscon.

reply

When people are disrespectful so am I boss

reply

He is upset because I roasted him earlier in our conversations

reply

Roasted me?? I proved your dumbass. Wrong about the dog ! Another thing you don’t understand. The definition of roasted

reply

You mean I proved to you it was a plot hole. Are you saying you want to be roasted more by me?

reply

You’re a certifiable psychopath. Seek help, stupid

reply

Also it has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. Lots of people don’t get new pets. Who’s the hell was going to look after it ?? Anyway I’m done with you stupid troll

reply

I just happen to be very smart and understand exactly what a plot hole is

reply

You’ve proven the exact opposite

reply

Not bad for a false fact hahahahaa

Carmella seems too self-involved to care for one

AJ is too lazy to care for one

Meadow is a teenager and focused on school/college/boys

Tony's got a crew of dawgs to run but splits time admiring the wildlife but doesn't have time to cater to a "pet" animal
