 A very big Hollywood name with his own T.V. series loved Bronx Paradise so much that he took it to HBO to develop it into a cable series. HBO passed because they felt it was right on the heels of the Sopranos but we have no doubt it could be turned into a hit series on another station. P.S. Bronx Paradise is a much different animal than the Sopranos.
