After 20 something years I just realized the kid who plays Bobby's son was also one of the students in School Of Rock.
Joey Pants was on the WTF podcast and mentioned around the time he was on the show, women of a certain personality type would recognize him and begin flirting because they thought he was like that character.
Endearing is not how I would describe Ralph. He was possibly the most hateable and annoying character on the show.
I hated him, I don't know of I hated him as much as Leotardo. Phil was one of the most hateable tv villains ever.
Finished another rewatch, probably my fave show of all time, I got really lucky and scored the full complete Blu-ray at a random yard sale last month.
You know what episode I realized is really great? 3x12 Amour Fou. The Jackie Jr card game thing, the Gloria Trillo stuff, even the Carmella plot this episode is great. There is a fantastically acted emotional scene between Chris and Tony. I think it often gets overlooked because It's the episode that follows Pine Barrens. Also love the scene where all the mob wives realize that Hillary Clinton is the model mob wife.
