The TV show Soprano's was such a huge hit and lasted several seasons. I didn't personally watch the entire series but I've seen enough episodes to know that it is based on the stereotypical Italian family. Everyone has stereotypes we see a guy with dark hair slicked back with gold chain on and usually assume he's an Italian. Some of the stereotypes are taught at an early age. Stereotypes for the most part can be pretty prejudice. Like assuming an Italian person eats lots of Pizza just because of their nationality. Or that Irish people all have terrible tempers.
We have another stereotype for Italians that are covered in the show...the stereotype that all Italians add "a" after verbs like "I do not-a want-a talk to you". The show had a italian accent with a hint of Brooklyn another stereotype that all Brooklyn people speak this way.
