Paul Sorvino and Debi Mazar (Liottas coked out girlfriend in Goodfellas), resurface as pillar of society Italian-American go-to-work types who don't do drugs or kill anyone; or even talk about it, the whole series

I am fairly sure those roles were a penance equivalent to being forced to sit and watch traffic passing through the NJ turnpike in comparison to the latitude Goodfellas would have allowed them

Disclaimer: I only ever watched this 'cos Ellen Burstyn was in it (honest) It wasn't any kind of fascination with how boring any particular ethnic group could be portrayed; or anything like that

And in the hope that Joe Pesci would make at least a cameo appearance and liven things up a bit.... Alas, it was not to be
