James Gandolfini’s The Sopranos is often regarded as among the best TV shows ever made. The show chronicling the life and criminal career of Tony Soprano enthralled fans with its first few seasons. For six seasons, they were stuck to their TV every week waiting for new episodes to air. Gandolfini’s influential career-defining performance as Tony Soprano won him multiple Emmys.

Despite the high reputation of the series, the series finale that featured the infamous cut-to-black sequence at the end divided fans. Additionally, Edie Falco who played Carmela Soprano teased that she and Gandolfini shot a Soprano-themed ad to help lure LeBron James to join the New York Knicks. The long-rumored footage has now made its way online and it is interesting, to say the least.

Long before the so-called "golden age of TV" arrived, "The Sopranos" seemed to hint at what was in store for the small screen. The groundbreaking show suggested what today seems axiomatic: that TV could be just as compelling, contain just as much tight storytelling, and feel just as premium as any movie. As far as television dramas go, "The Sopranos" set a standard that few series, even today, manage to meet.
Still, not everything the writers did was met with unanimous praise. The legacy of "The Sopranos" wasn't exactly sullied by what is surely one of the most divisive endings in TV history, but that infamous fade-to-black left some fans feeling let down by a series that never shied away from depicting the brutality of mob life. Put simply, you never really knew who was going to be offed from episode to episode, and while killing off characters on "The Sopranos...

In any conversation about the greatest TV shows of all time, you can count on The Sopranos being mentioned high up the list. David Chase’s beloved series reframed and interrogated the gangster genre in longform, unspooling the life of James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano – both in his domestic setting, and as the head of the Soprano crime family. Across its six seasons, it dealt out complex character development, shocking deaths, and one of the most-discussed finales of all time – several of the reasons it ends up in the upper echelons of any greatest-ever list. And now, in a major new roundtable interview with Empire to celebrate 25 years since The Sopranos debuted, Chase himself has named his favourite moments across the whole series.
Sitting down with cast members Lorraine Bracco, Steven Van Zandt and Edie Falco, Chase discussed his two standout moments in The Sopranos. “Neither of them is really...

25 years ago, television changed forever. It was at the start of 1999 that HBO aired the first episode of The Sopranos – the groundbreaking gangster drama that took the cinematic tropes of The Godfather and Goodfellas and turned them longform. With its then-contemporary depiction of a crime family – both the underworld operation run by James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano, and the domestic Soprano household – facing up to the realities of 21st Century life and a tidal shift in mobster generations, it was both a deconstruction of and gripping addition to the gangster canon. In the likes of Tony, and Lorraine Bracco’s therapist Dr. Melfi, and Steven Van Zandt’s hard-headed Silvio Dante, and Edie Falco’s long-suffering wife Carmela Soprano, it introduced some of the greatest characters to ever grace the small screen.

A lucky Sopranos fan shelled out over $82,000 for the booth from Tony Soprano’s last supper.
The owners of Broomfield, NJ ice cream parlor Holsten’s put the booth featured in the hit HBO series’ 2007 finale up for auction last Wednesday, as the 88-year-old shop is being remodeled. After four days on eBay, the bidding war closed at $82,600 on Monday.
The winner doesn’t just get the table and seats—for the hefty price, they receive the divider wall, which features a plaque that reads, “This booth reserved for the Soprano family.” The tabletop jukebox used in the scene is unfortunately not included.
Holsten’s announced the auction on Instagram last week, writing, “The time has come. All good things sometimes need an upgrade. The famous Sopranos booth is getting a much needed face-lift. We are auctioning off the well endeared booth on eBay starting today.”

Believe it or not, "The Sopranos" just turned 25. Yes, 25 years ago, the medium of TV changed forever when David Chase's mafia series kicked off what we think of today as the "peak TV era." The impact and influence of "The Sopranos" cannot be overstated — without "The Sopranos," the TV landscape as we know it for the last 25 years would not exist. There would be no "Mad Men," no "Breaking Bad," no "Succession." Watching "The Sopranos" now, you can see the influence on the two-plus decade's worth of shows to come.
While "The Sopranos" started off strong, the common consensus is that the show really became the juggernaut that we know it as in the fifth episode of season 1, titled "College." Why? Because that was the first episode we saw Tony Soprano whack someone. While it seems commonplace now to have an unlikable protagonist leading a show, in 1999, when the episode in question first aired,...

1. The Strategic Manipulation of Richie Aprile Janice Soprano, portrayed as Tony Soprano’s sister on The Sopranos, is a character whose actions often sparked controversy and discord. In Season 2, Janice’s manipulation skills are on full display. With a cunning that rivaled their mother Livia, Janice exhibits a ruthlessness that is both shocking and pivotal to the narrative. Her manipulation of Richie Aprile was a calculated move that sowed seeds of tension within the Soprano family. That side of Janice came out when she tried to plant the idea of murdering Tony in the head of Richie Aprile, highlighting her...

Airing just five days after we marked 25 years since The Sopranos premiered on HBO, series’ Lorraine Bracco and Michael Imperioli marked the anniversary at the 75th Emmy Awards.
“Speaking for Michael, myself and the entire cast and crew, it was an honor working with Sopranos creator David Chase and of course, the great James Gandolfini,” choked-up Bracco said to a thunderous applause.
Bracco and Imperioli were standing in a replica of the therapist office from The Sopranos where Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano and Bracco’s Dr. Melfi held their sessions. A photo of the late Gandolfini was on the table.
“The moment Tony Soprano walked into this [office], doing the unthinkable, sharing his feelings with Dr. Melfi, television history was about to be made,” Emmy host Anthony Anderson said in introducing the segment.

In the opening credits of The Sopranos, it takes around 90 seconds for Tony to get from the Lincoln Tunnel to his New Jersey driveway. And in that time, you could bang out three episodes of the HBO series — provided you catch them on TikTok. To celebrate 25th years since the groundbreaking show hit the air, forever changing the face of television, HBO is releasing each episode of The Sopranos…in 25-second chunks. That means you can binge-watch the mob drama in just over 35 minutes!
Of course, this is just about the worst way for potential viewers to experience The Sopranos for first-time, but it is a nice nostalgic recap for fans. Granted, at such short runtimes, major details — and even notable deaths, as (not) seen in the TikTok for season two finale “Funhouse” — are lacking. But it is sort of a fun and generationally friendly promotion if you want to...

The Sopranos landed on HBO in 1999 and quickly became a beloved crime series. Running up until 2007 and spanning six seasons, the series focused on the Soprano crime family, namely its boss, Tony Soprano, and his family. However, where the show really shined was with its vast range of story elements, tackling many themes outside of organised crime. Thanks to the show’s residency on HBO’s streaming service, Max, it has continued to attract new audiences with every passing year. What’s more, fans of the show have proven to be extremely loyal, watching the seasons over and over. In January...

Fans were given the unique opportunity with VirtualCons‘ event An Evening at Tony’s, which took place on Saturday, May 29, 2021, in Caldwell, New Jersey. Both virtually and in person, fans were invited to spend an evening at The Sopranos’ house at 14 Aspen Drive (where it is inhabited by private owners). The home’s exteriors were used during the show’s run, serving as the setting for several memorable moments including Tony’s (James Gandolfini) swim in the pool with some friendly ducks. I was lucky enough to attend the event on behalf of TV Insider and find out firsthand what it is like to visit the home. After being bussed over by shuttles from a set pickup point, guests were welcomed at the bottom of the Soprano family’s driveway,...

Two episodes into “Rick and Morty” Season 7 and you’ll be begging to talk about the metaphoric Gromflomite in the room. Justin Roiland is out and, while the two voice actors replacing him as the titular mad scientist and his grandson are strong sound-alikes (their identities have yet to be revealed even to critics), you’d think the smartest Adult Swim show in the multi-verse would have a cleverer response than this to its unceremonious kneecapping.

Pundits frequently cite "The Sopranos" as one of the greatest television series of all time, and that reputation is warranted. From the very first episode to the eternally controversial series finale in 2007, David Chase's crime drama cemented HBO as a prime destination for "prestige" television, ushering in a new era of television storytelling along the way. Italian-American Mafia boss Tony Soprano's struggle to hold his family and livelihood together remains as compelling and impactful as it did nearly two decades ago, thanks to top-notch writing and an Emmy Award-winning cast.
It's tough to pick favorites from such a legendary roster of characters, but Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri ranks among the best.

In the latest episode of "Succession" season 4, "The Rehearsal," love was not in the air. Connor (Alan Ruck) and Willa's (Justine Lupe) rehearsal ended with the premature departure of the bride-to-be. Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) are still on the road to divorce too.
Shiv made it official in the season 4 premiere, "The Munsters," but divorce was the only way the Roy-Wambsgans marriage was ever going to end. Back in season 1, Shiv tried to pressure Tom into an open marriage. In the season 2 finale, "This Is Not For Tears," Tom pondered to Shiv, "I wonder if the sad I'd be without you would be less than the sad I get from being with you." Season 3 was all about their relationship falling apart — neither partner was able to meet the other's emotional needs — and Tom ultimately betrayed Shiv to Logan...

What makes us care about the characters in a television show? It’s a strange relationship we have with them, an unfamiliarity that turns into something akin to family. Soon enough, you’re a Soprano or a Simpson, part of the Brady bunch or in with the Ewing clan. And then TV can play its great emotional trick: it can put these characters through tragedy and triumph, and make the viewer feel that it’s theirs. This is the well-worn pathway that You & Me, the new Itvx three-part drama, forswears. Instead, we are dropped into a world and asked to care, straight away, when things begin in media misery.

Acclaimed HBO series "The Sopranos" was no ordinary gangster show -- it introduced audiences to the inner neuroses of a complicated anti-hero and his criminal work-life balancing act. While mobster Tony Soprano would be played by the late James Gandolfini, giving one of the most acclaimed television performances of all time, the lead role had no end of early contenders.
At one point, series creator David Chase had musician Steven Van Zandt, who had no acting experience, in mind to play the role with more of a comedic bent. Michael Rispoli was also up for the part; he told Imperioli and Schirripa on their Talking Sopranos podcast that he auditioned for Chase in New York, then did a test again in Century City, where he crossed paths with Van Zandt and "Jimmy" Gandolfini. For a hot second, the role was up in the air. Rispoli recalls:
