Sopranos have become the Beatles of television. Each new decade, we look back at the 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, anniversary of their run. And, as a fan of both, it's great. Happy to look back at this perfection.
Anthony Mason's skill as an interviewer is just as amazing as this story. He's an artist that makes the work jump off the screen. He's also not afraid of silence. Bravo
Seeing this 25 year anniversary of The Sopranos (hard to believe 25 years already) and seeing these actors 25 years older is a stark reminder of just how fast life passes us by. David Chase is correct. Life is precious and we should enjoy each day we are here.
Between her truly brilliant work on The Sopranos, Oz, Nurse Jackie, and many other smaller roles, a legitimate case could be made for Edie Falco as one of the 10 greatest television actors of all time. Yet her name almost never comes up on “greatest ever“ lists which are compiled.
Absolutely!! And she’s awesome cause u she don’t give a f*ck about recognition. I watched Nurse Jackie after the Sopranos and it cemented Edie Falco’s brilliance 👏
Agreed. She's deserves much more credit. When we first watched Nurse Jackie I just assumed I'd be watching Carmela in scrubs, but she made it her own and I enjoyed it
Favorite scenesFavorite scenes from the series: …when Meadow introduced her African American/Jewish boyfriend to Tony. …when Tony confronted Dr. Kennedy at the golf course, insisting he respect Uncle Junior and return his phone calls. …when Finn told Tony and his capos that Vito was gay. …when Tony and the family conducted an intervention on Christopher. …when Silvio executed Adriana. This final scene was soul-crushing, but it was honest because it revealed the sinister side of Sopranos tribalism. This show belongs in the proverbial hall of fame alongside The Wire and Breaking Bad.
@@tomgabriel5150 no - alongside. Cultish worship of a show over its peers is disgusting especially when they all do things the other two shows couldn't do
For years, I was disappointed with the ending. That is, until my oldest son explained it to me, and then, I saw the genious in that ending. My son said that there's a scene aboard the boat where there was talk about being shot, and one character said something like "Whe you're shot, you don't know you're dead." In the final scene of the final episode Tony looks at the restaurant door every time someone walks in. One person raises a un as he enters and then, black from Tony's perspective. He doesn't know he's dead. THEN, I saw that the ending was BRILLIANT!
An philosopher was asked about what happened after death, since he didn't believe in heaven or reincarnation, he replied, "Remember before you were born?" "No", the interviewer replied, "Just like that."
I think Chase cut away because he couldn't put an end to Tony's story. There was no ending that could have done justice to that character, so that's exactly what he did: no ending.
Chase ended the show in that manner because that is the essence of the life Tony led. That kind of life never stops you don't punch a clock or go on vacation from it. It is relentless and your always looking up no matter if you're eating with your family or doing a hit.....as well the audience of course got to end it on their terms but I believe it was simpler than that and he was conveying that even though we as an audience we're done watching Tony. "The Life" never stops
Michael and Steve's podcast rewatching the show with all the stars, writers, directors, and even location scouts was the best rewatch pod out there. The fact it came out right when lockdown started helped so many people have something to look forward to
I knew "The Sopranos" is the greatest show ever, because right after completing all seasons, I could no longer enjoy watching any other show. They set the benchmark so high, it's impossible to reach. In my life, I never watched a show & at the same time felt like I was inside that world & connected to characters like I did with The Sopranos. Its once in a lifetime show. Thanks Eddie and the Cast for this amazing experience
The Sopranos was an incredible show. There will never be any show that will compare - it was so original. I binge watched the entire series over a couple months and was mesmerized. Gandolfini was an incredibly sexy & talented man - I was sad when he died.
I'll never forget that time in the early to mid-aughts when HBO had The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under, all at the same time... Just breathtaking...
One of the TV shows that makes my dad or anybody from New Jersey and New York, feel that they’re right there at home. Miss you, James Gandolfini and Tony Sirico. 🕊️🇮🇹🤍🇮🇹🕊️
You know that you’re a true New Jersey boy or girl, if you watch the opening credits of “The Sopranos” and can say, “Oh, yeah Satriale’s Meat Store is on Kearny Avenue in Kearny, NJ and Wilson’s House of Carpets is on Route 440 in Jersey City,NJ, etc., etc.”
We just rewatched it for the third time. It holds up. It is riveting and fascinating and funny. The acting is wonderful and the writing is even better. David Chase gave American culture a great gift.
When I was young Uncle June was an old man & now that I'm old he's still an old man
Right?? He was even old when he played Johnny Ola in Godfather II. In fact, it took me like 10 years to realize he was even in Godfather II😂
I see ya there paulie lol.
Does he still goes down to Boca?
Good one. 😂 I still can’t believe he was Johnny Ola.

You know Quasimodo predicted all this.
Who did what?
Nostradamus. Quasimodo's the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
What, your telling me you never thought of that?
Alright, but you gotta get over it.
Nostradamus. And Notre Dame. Two different things entirely.😂
I can't believe they didn't interview those "2 black guys" who did all the crimes.
You know the crazy thing is…. Every culture and family has an Olivia soprano …

Not sure why CBS didnt interview borko...
Greatest show of all time no debate second to NONE
Thee best show ever, along with The Wire...
I go back and forth on which is better. I can never decide.
No doubt.
You know who loved Sopranos?
...Joey Peeps.

I think Chase cut away because he couldn't put an end to Tony's story. There was no ending that could have done justice to that character, so that's exactly what he did: no ending.
Certainly was an end. Tony was killed
Patsy had Tony whacked.
@@furoshikiButchie put the hit out on Tony, not Patsy. Patsy would’ve been nowhere near Silvio or Tony if he knew they were gonna get whacked soon.
Interesting perspective. I never thought about that.
Chase ended the show in that manner because that is the essence of the life Tony led. That kind of life never stops you don't punch a clock or go on vacation from it.

This show seriously was one of a kind.
love all Paulie Walnuts commercials
Didn’t watch it because I didn’t have HBO. Long after it ended, I finally binged watched it…..and I understood why it had won so many awards.
Some of Tony's rivals like Ralphie and Richie were even more demons than him.
Yes, especially Richie, I couldn't stand him, and his ending, that whole episode was awesome

We just rewatched it for the third time. It holds up. It is riveting and fascinating and funny. The acting is wonderful and the writing is even better. David Chase gave American culture a great gift.
The writing and acting gets better with every rewatch!!!!
best thing ever on tv
I was a senior in high school when The Sopranos started. Been in love with it ever since. I know virtually every word. 😭
Weird how they chose the Livia scene where Marchand was edited in
I bet they didn't know any better those mezzafanuks.
I watched this series over and over. It’s a great series. ❤
Sad seeing them go old.
That's life
They are just kids

Once a year- I’ll rewatch the entire series from the start. Never gets stale. I envy new fans watching for the first time.
Let me tell you a couple three things...forget Game of Thrones, forget Breaking Bad, The Sopranos is the greatest show of all time.
"It was enough to make a mob boss sick" What a line.
So what, no effin' ziti on this segment now???
Greatest show ever made!
Was a GREAT SHOW. THERE'S ONLY ONE TONY!!!!!!
Jesus, Jane Pauley looks like Blanche on the Golden girls! I feel old!!
Seen every episode. Awesome show! Very well done!
Me too never missed an episode!
GREATEST of all time... never will there be a series like this one, again.
I still watch the show constantly, and I’ve seen it countless times from beginning to end, simple magnificent. Went to the bing too in 2017 😃
20 Years, not a peep…. and now this?!?
Nancy Marchan was so good as Tony’s mom. Their relationship is the key to Tony.
David Chase loved Tony too much to take his life because Tony was David Chase.
