Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Production designer Bernard Hides asked for an evergreen, leaf-bearing tree on one of the sets. Someone brought him a "Bottle Tree" (Brachychiton Populneus), an extremely common plant from Australia. Hides was asked if he was familiar with this variety and he replied that he had never seen a plant like it. Hides is a native of Australia and lived there most of his life. more

Over-rated so far., 4 February 2003
Author: Speedy-Gonzalez from Brooklyn, NY

The first episode was weak. Perpetuating negative stereotype personas of Hispanics people is the premise of the show but there still could have been more original writing than simply stealing ideas from "The Sopranos." The wife character is ugly, too. If there going to stereotype: the new Kingpin should have a hot wife like in the Rap videos. There are plenty of hot latina women on Univision.
