No, I would say its a way for the audience to be given certain answers, even if they are misguided.

We learn more about Tony through the therapy sessions, and its a way for someone like Tony who bottles his emotions to talk about them realistically, as opposed to talking with his dysfunctional family or his co workers.

Chase said it was the foundation of his idea too, he just found it interesting.

The premise of the show was originally a drama version of Analyze This.

They say there's no two people on earth exactly the same. No two faces, no two sets of fingerprints. But do they know that for sure? They would have to get everyone together in one large space, and obviously that's not possible even with computers.

Best girls were Carmella and Svetlana.
The most attractive ones would be the redhead Chrissy bangs and the Las Vegas postitute
