I understand you like what you like. But for me Breaking Bad writing isn't anywhere close to The Sopranos. I tried to rewatch Breaking Bad recently and I had to turn it off in the middle of Season 2. Its just dull and doesn't have the heart The Sopranos has. I can put about five shows ahead of Breaking Bad.

i think it's a bad memory/perception
meadow went from a kid to a hot adult
adriana peaked in her first scenes and got worse with age and drug abuse. she aged poorly in the show.

The only thing that made the show hard to binge watch was how static all the characters were. Nobody ever really changed and that was kind of the whole point; it just wears you out seeing it all in big chunks.
I binged the first 3 or 4 seasons catching up cause I was late to the party. NeveR had a problem watching it in in chunks or any form or fashion

Well, for a guy that fat and homely, he truly didn't have many options when it came to wife material.
However, he did sink to new lows marrying that basket case, once again proving that the little head does many men's thinking for them.

she's arguably the only truly, "good" character in the show
I don’t know if we got enough of her to really say. She definitely enabled Sil and was about the life of a mob wife

Breaking bad is much bleaker.
The sopranos is a dark comedy. Mad men and the sopranos are the only hour long dramas that I can just turn flip on a random episode. It’s more that you just want to spend some time with the characters.

Bobby seemed good in comparison, but at the end of the day, he was still a murderer.

The biggest example that I remember, aside from murder and all, is when he retrieved the girl who Ralph killed from Ralph's house. It made it pretty clear that he felt he owned her.
Yeah, folks who like Silvio forget he's the family's sex trafficker/slave master.

exactly, you can't really have a discussion about mobsters and which had the most honest being and self without saying each is a murderer. That makes no sense.
So given a police lineup of Sopranos characters that were probably the most decent guy, then Bobby is the answer.
If I remember correctly he never even had a Goomah or whatever you call a mistress and was made fun of by the others. He also took care of uncle Junior like a nurse but still had his gangster side where he made his rounds and collected money and did what he was supposed to do. Also i'm pretty sure when Junior was nuts that Tony said whatever money they got from Junior would go to Bobby's kids after he was killed.
So again, with Sopranos characters that were pretty decent guys, Bobby Baccalla is the answer

Yes, "he looks good in comparison to the other Soprano characters", but is still a mafioso goombah that did collections for Uncle Junior, threatened union leaders, and killed on Tony's direction. He actually would probably have made a decent neighbor, as long as you kept an arms-length distance from his "business side".
