“The popularity of MTV’s reality show Jersey Shore (2009–12), which exposes the adventures of a group of Guidos and Guidettes, is the last and most notable evidence of the continuing marketability of the (working-class and racialized) Italian American body, uncontrolled expression of emotions, “tribal” sense of family and community, and full capacity of sensual enjoyment.”
Simone Cinotto, Making Italian America: Consumer Culture and the Production of Ethnic Identities

“Tony Soprano, when he has sex with a one-legged Russian immigrant or beats an arrogant lawyer to a pulp—let viewers vicariously experience the true, genuine, and transparent enjoyment of life and pleasure that middle-class self-discipline prevents them to experience, as least in everyday real life—and that may resonate “authentic” and true to other working-class people, white, black, and Hispanic. They show no inclination or patience for the delayed gratification the middle-class ethics of success prescribes.72”
