The Sopranos: TV Guide News

  • Like most television fans, I ... | Matt Roush | 7/23/2007
    Question: Like most television fans, I was disappointed that Friday Night Lights, Battlestar Galactica, The Shield, Lost and The Wire — not to mention the many fine actors and actresses that populate these shows — didn't garner a sniff of recognition from voters come Emmy time. But I wasn't as disappointed or surprised as many other people I've talked with, simply because I have come to expect little from the voters. What does it say about the Emmys when everyone, from casual fans to... read more
  • TCA Awards: Correcting the Emmys | Matt Roush | 7/22/2007
    No awards system is perfect, and the TCA Awards is no exception. But arriving two days after the often-inexplicable results of the Emmy nominations, Saturday night's low-key, good-time TCA Awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton was a welcome course correction to several especially egregious Emmy oversights. (And, lo and behold, nary a mention of Boston Legal anywhere.)First up: Michael C. Hall, ignored by the Emmys but cited by the TCA for “Individual Achievement in Drama,” for his... read more
  • I like to think I'm an ... | Matt Roush | 7/20/2007
    Question: I like to think I'm an educated TV viewer. I live for smart shows like The Wire, Lost, Battlestar Galactica and The Shield. Shows that don't spoon-feed you plot but rather force you to pay attention and think. But after the latest episode of John from Cincinnati, I am at a complete loss. This show is either an epic-level disaster or pure genius, and I have no idea which it is. For the first five episodes, I felt like one of the characters in the show — I was annoyed and unhappy, I had... read more
  • Lights Out at the Emmys | Matt Roush | 7/19/2007
    Remember how Charlie Brown used to end up on his back every time he went to kick the football after Lucy pulled it away? Well, that was me, in the pre-dawn of Thursday morning at the TV Academy building in North Hollywood, as the first Emmy category (for best drama series) was read aloud. Amid a gaggle of impatient media crews and anxious publicists, I once again felt sucker-punched by the cluelessly inexplicable whims of the Emmy nomination process. (Go here for a list of nominees.)The... read more
  • Emmy Nominations: Sopranos Out with a Bang, Betty Sits Pretty | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2007
    Nominations for the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning, and HBO's The Sopranos (15 nods) along with ABC's Ugly Betty (11) came away as the most-recognized drama and comedy series, respectively. HBO's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, though, heads into the "eco-friendly and carbon-neutral" (Fox boasts) Sept. 16 ceremony with the most noms of anyone (17), trailed closely by AMC's Broken Trail (16). Let's first recap the outstanding-series races: Outstanding Drama... read more
  • Mad About Mad Men | Matt Roush | 7/19/2007
    I can't remember the last time the most buzzed-about show at a summer critics' press tour had nothing to do with the broadcast network's fall offerings. But this week, the show we can't stop talking and thinking about, and wishing we had more episodes to watch, is AMC's Mad Men, a period drama about advertising men and their professional and sexual exploits at the dawn of the '60s. (It premieres Thursday at 10 pm/ET.) Here's how I logged my first impression of the show in the pages of TV Guide... read more
  • The recent flap over the ... | Matt Roush | 7/9/2007
    Question: The recent flap over the Sopranos finale got me thinking that in 50 years of TV watching, I can count on both hands the TV series whose finales I actually cared about. And most of those were because the ending was memorable in and of itself (Mary Tyler Moore, Newhart, St. Elsewhere), not because I was anticipating the final episode. Until recently, the only show that sticks in my mind is The Fugitive, and that ended 40 years ago. Now I don't even want to think about the level of... read more
  • Friday Night Lights on Emmy Short List? | Matt Roush | 7/2/2007
    Well, this is good news to come home to. (Thanks, by the way, to all the well-wishers who e-mailed gracious greetings during my time off. Can't recommend Paris highly enough, even during an unseasonably chilly rainy spell.)If the reporting on TheEnvelope.com site is accurate, the top-10 drama finalists at this intermediate stage of the Emmy nominations includes eternal NBC underdog Friday Night Lights—which could use some good news, seeing as how NBC yanked its summer repeats for now.... read more

    Question: Is your blind item about the whacked-out Sopranos fan Chris Carter, by any chance?Answer: Nope, guess again. read more
  • Hillary Clinton's Sopranos Parody: Behind the Scenes! | Today's News: Our Take | 6/22/2007
    So who did Vince Curatola — aka The Sopranos’ New York mob boss Johnny Sack — have to whack to get his cameo in Hillary Clinton’s spoof of the series' finale (available in our Online Video Guide)? Curatola tells TV Guide he was having dinner with his wife when he got a call from Sopranos director Allen Coulter, telling him that Clinton media guy Jimmy Siegel was doing a video the next morning in a diner near the Clintons’ Chappaqua, New York, home. “I said it... read more
  • I'm not a Sopranos fan by any ... | Matt Roush | 6/22/2007
    Question: I'm not a Sopranos fan by any stretch of the imagination (in fact I've never seen a single minute of it), but the fan reaction to the final episode sounds exactly the same as those for the finales of Seinfeld, Will & Grace and others. Fans usually want an obvious, over-the-top, crowd-pleasing blowout, while the people actually making the show want to do a serious commentary. The Seinfeld finale wasn't as funny as many earlier episodes, but I liked that they showed they understood... read more
  • Short Cuts: Hillary's Sopranos, American Dad and More | Today's News: Our Take | 6/21/2007
    Hillary Clinton's video spoof of The Sopranos' finale (available via our Online Video Guide) is a big hit. A half-million hits, actually. The HillaryClinton.com webmaster says it delivered "a massive spike," besting the site's launch-day numbers.... Fox's American Dad has been renewed for a fourth season, to unspool during the 2008-09 TV season....

  • Hillary Clinton Is a "Hit" in Sopranos Spoof | Today's News: Our Take | 6/20/2007
    It features (to indulgent Bill Clinton's dismay) carrot sticks instead of onion rings, but a video produced by Team Hillary Clinton otherwise cannily sends up the series finale of The Sopranos. In the clip (now featured in our Online Video Guide), Hil is seated in a diner when Bill arrives and their (unseen) daughter, Chelsea, labors to parallel park. As Bill grumbles about the carrots and Sopranos star Vincent Curatola (aka Johnny Sack) shoots the pair a glare, Hillary peruses a jukebox,... read more
  • With the Sopranos finale ... | Matt Roush | 6/18/2007
    Question: With the Sopranos finale getting so much fan dissatisfaction, do you think that writers/creators have been slacking off in their attention to the fans? I am thinking of the Heroes finale and some of its episodes in which major inconsistencies were blatant but Tim Kring responded by saying that we should suspend some disbelief. And then, of course, David Chase refused to explain his finale. Do you think some of these guys are experiencing either a swell of pretentiousness or a bout of... read more
  • Sopranos Clan Hails Ending; Plus: A Big Finale Clue | Today's News: Our Take | 6/15/2007
    The Soprano family finally agrees on something: the way David Chase wound up the series was criminally good. "It was a great ending.... Exactly what it should have been," James Gandolfini tells the New York Daily News. Adds "daughter" Jamie-Lynn Sigler, "I can't think of a single better way to have ended the show" — though she cops to being befuddled by Meadow's spastic parking. Also deeming the finale "great" is Edie Falco: "I have never second-guessed David Chase, and I'm not about to... read more
  • I just read your Dispatch on ... | Matt Roush | 6/15/2007
    Question: I just read your Dispatch on the Sopranos finale, as well as the reader comments afterward. You said you wouldn't rate this episode among the best of series finales, so which ones would you include on that list? Thanks for a great column. I always enjoy it! Answer: I often try to avoid these "best ever" sort of overview questions, because I fear leaving out something obvious. But in this case, I asked for it, and now I regret writing that line in my recap. To be very... read more
  • Let me preface this by saying ... | Matt Roush | 6/15/2007
    Question: Let me preface this by saying that I loved The Sopranos, and this is not a screed on the finale, which I'm sure you are getting enough mail on. I am more interested in all the praise David Chase is getting for "changing the face of TV drama." What, exactly, did he do? Yes, the series was brilliantly written, well cast and well acted. But so are dozens of others. The difference was the platform, HBO, and the freedom it allowed him. No network suits, no sponsors, no need to... read more
  • Are you sure you won't ... | Matt Roush | 6/15/2007
    Question: Are you sure you won't someday change your mind about saying you don't see the Sopranos' last episode as one of the best finales ever? I've been watching the series over again from the beginning in the last few months, and I've noticed that Chase and Co. have actually been very careful and intricate about maintaining a specific connection between this last season and earlier seasons. Many recent individual scenes make a lot more sense if you play them against corresponding scenes in... read more
  • Sopranos to the Silver Screen? Experts Share Their Takes | Today's News: Our Take | 6/14/2007
    After The Sopranos ended — in a flurry of suspicion and onion rings — rumors started flying: Had creator David Chase kept Tony breathing for a Sopranos movie? ("I never say never," Chase told the Newark Star-Ledger. "An idea could pop into my head where I would go, ‘Wow, that would make a great movie,' but I doubt it.") "It could make a good feature," says director Barry Sonnenfeld, who adapted two beloved TV series, The Addams Family ("No one complained," he says), and Wild... read more
  • Lost Bosses: No Sopranos-style Blackout for Us | Today's News: Our Take | 6/13/2007
    OK, you can stop being afraid (let alone being very afraid). Though they both went on record as raving about David Chase's ending for The Sopranos, Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof say the ABC drama won't leave its own fans hanging in any similarly confounding manner come May 2010. "We will not be ending with a blackout," Cuse said Wednesday at the Promax/BDA conference. The duo said they and their writing staff recently fleshed out the final three seasons, including the... read more

Premise: A conflicted New Jersey crime boss seeks therapy to cope with mob and family pressures in this addictive, stunningly original drama, which can be chillingly violent, wrenchingly moving or darkly funny. Well deserving of its many Emmys and other awards, this HBO masterwork created by Garden State native David Chase has become Sunday-night appointment viewing, with passionate fans mostly carping about waiting ridiculously long stretches (more than a year) for new seasons of original episodes.
