In the opening credits of the TV show "The Sopranos" what highway tunnel does Tony Soprano use?
On the 1999 US TV series "The Sopranos", it opens with New Jersey capo Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) driving out of the Lincoln Tunnel, an approximately 1.5-mile-long tunnel under the Hudson River, connecting Weehawken, New Jersey, to the west with Midtown Manhattan in New York City to the east. Tony is getting on the Turnpike, paying his toll, and heading back to his fractious family, his therapist, and his fiefdom of strip joints, butcher shops, restaurants, and, no surprise, waste haulage.
Created by David Chase, "The Sopranos" aired for six seasons (1999–2007) on Home Box Office (HBO). With Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli, and Steven Van Zandt and set in New Jersey, the show follows Tony Soprano (Gandolfini), a New Jersey-based Italian-American mobster. It looks at business and personal difficulties as Tony tries to balance family life with his role as the leader of a criminal organization.
As a mob boss, Tony Soprano deals with issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling. The show provides an innovative look at the life of fictional Mafia Capo Tony, while being presented largely in the first person. An additional perspective is conveyed by noting the intimate conversations Tony has with his psychotherapist. Tony is seen at work, at home, and in therapy. Moments of black comedy intersperse this aggressive, adult TV drama, with adult language, and extreme violence.
