I guess that depends on what you mean by "likeable". In the Sopranos, 
the ones that come closest are probably Bobby Bacala and Carmela 
Soprano. Everyone else is a selfish, self-absorbed jerk, even the ones 
that are not psychopaths.

I don't know. Tony Soprano isn't bad. You have to admire his bullshit detector, 
his competence, and his sporadic attempts at self-knowledge. 

But the genius of the "Sopranos" before it devolved into soap opera was the 
absolute normality of the characters and the show's ability to completely 
capture the zeitgeist in the very appropriate context of organized crime. It 
wasn't The Wire to be sure. But that's because The Wire is, so far, in a class 
by itself.
