Kind of disappointed because i don't get this channel anymore although I do have the first 13 episodes saved on my dvr.
On Directv there is a new Mafia's Greatest Hits coming on saturday night about Arnold Rothstein. They are indeed new episodes.
On Saturday 11/26 the episode is on Albert Anastasia.

I wonder if the Albert Anastasia episode was any different than the Mobsters episode on the mad hatter. I doubt there was any new info or stories but I'd still like to see them. Maybe they'll be on youtube. I was just diving a little deeper into Anastasia's hit on Arnold Schuster and I BELIEVE, that they left out some important info. I read that the supposed killer of Schuster was a man named Frederick "Angel of Death" Tenuto...He also served time with Willie Sutton....Somehow, when Sutton got identified, Tenuto was so close to Anastasia that he was able to order him to hit Schuster....THAT tells me that Anastasia had a piece of Willie Sutton...I don't doubt that Schuster ID'ing Sutton enraged Albert but, Schuster now took away a lucrative part of Anastasia's enterprise. Sooooo, Tenuto kills Schuster on Alberts orders and gets in hot water with the commission. Albert then admits his mistake and has Tenuto killed and buried under another dead body's coffin. (According to police) http://mafiasome.blogspot.com/2015/05/frederick-j-tenuto.html?m=1These shows are Hollywooding them up. The TRUTH about all these legendary mafia figures is, they had a lot of soldiers doing their dirty work BUT, had no problem taking credit.

Jesus christ if I see another fuckin mob doc about Gotti, Anastasia, Luciano, or Capone Im gonna shit blood....You would think with Scorsese making the Irishman, that we would get a new mob doc on Russell Buffalino, or even one solely on Angelo Bruno and not just his murder and the Scarfo years that followed
"No, no, you aint alrite Spyder you got alotta fuckin problems"

Thanks for the heads up...
Rothstein episode was boring...
Anastasia so-so !! Agree on both. The documentary said Genovese convinced the other Dons that Anastasia had to go because of his behavior. Only partly true: Luciano appointed Genovese acting head of his family when he went away in 1936 for double-digits on the "compulsory prostitution" rap. But Genovese had to flee the US for Italy a year later, one step ahead of a murder rap. Costello became acting head. When Genovese returned to the US after WWII, he couldn't resume his position because Costello was firmly in charge, and had Willie Moretti as his "protector." Then Moretti was whacked because his brain went soft due to syphilis. Costello found a new ally: Anastasia. According to Joe Bonanno in his bio, "A Man of Honor," Genovese conspired with Lucchese to whack Anastasia to get at Costello. Costello found out about that plot and brought it to the Commission. Lucchese admitted it and got a pass. But, in '57, Genovese used the Gallo brothers to kill Anastasia, paving the way for his driver, Gigante, to shoot Costello and force him into retirement.

I just can't stand the reenactments. It's so cheap. There is great stock footage available of these subjects they're covering, but they don't want to pay for it. It's cheaper to recreate the situations with these horrendous actors.
Bill Kurtis's docs from the '90s are still the best. Many of them are available on Youtube's "Mob Video Vault" channel. I agree...There's a few good ones, but they have reenactment scenes of commission meetings with nerdy looking kids in their early 20's, guys that don't look italian at all..Its a joke...I agree...Show the real guys...Is it so hard to post a picture of Fritzy Giovanelli instead of the goofball they had portray him ?? Strongly agree with both of you. Nothing but awkward looking kids trying to look like gangsters, and closeups of cigarettes burning in ashtrays.
