How about Firefly? They weren't averse to illegal smuggling.
They transported and hid fugitives.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And looking that nice in a pair suspenders and knee pants should for sure be illegal somewhere, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

a hostage situation at the Discovery Channel
Not to make too light of a scary situation, but my first thought was "Protect Mike Rowe!"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"Protect Mike Rowe!"
I can get with that sentiment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I watched the first season of Weeds, and it didn't grab me.
All I really remember about the A-Team was having to break Hannibal out of the big house, since that's how we talked about getting my grandfather from the nursing home for the day...
Ah, jailbreaks. New category.
I totally overindentify with my name. Names. My birth name and my capoeira name. I get pissed when other people have them, or misuse mine. I should let go, because uniqueness is not in the job description. But it's something I kinda got used to.
Still, I feel a great deal of respect for what people choose to call themselves, even if I think it's a weird-assed choice. It's theirs, and I don't get to change it with impunity.
Firefly! Totally criminals we're supposed to love. In the bigger picture they're against an oppressive government, but still.

I don't watch Weeds or Breaking Bad, but the theory holds that they're consensual type crimes (oh! Hung and Diary of a Call Girl or whatever also count in this category).
Breaking Bad is a lot closer to the Sopranos, morally and ethically. The main character would really like to justify his wrongdoing (more so than Tony Soprano, probably) but he really can't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh Christ, I hope it's resolved peacefully. I have a ton of colleages in that building.
