Off the top of my head, and in the late 90's or so, I liked a show called "That's Life" about a Jersey Italian American family. I don't know who t he star of the show was. My daughters and I looked forward to seeing it every week. I think it only lasted a couple years.
Also, some years ago, I was disappointed when the cancelled Amazing Stories.
TIS
That was the show with Paul Sorvino as a restaurant owner, and Ellen Burstyn as his wife. Debi Mazar, from GOODFELLAS, played one of the daughters' friends. It was referenced on THE SOPRANOS once, Christopher called it an unbelievable Guinea-fest, totally unrealistic. But I don't agree with Christopher, I agree with TIS. I liked it, a lot.
