Soprano no show
Everyone eager to see the final episodes of “The Sopranos” are going to have to wait a while longer.
HBO Chairman Chris Albrecht told critics today that “Rome” will go into that spot in January, with “The Sopranos” coming back “later.”
How later?
Well, maybe March. And the reason? Chris mumbled something about James Gandolfini’s leg surgery. But also made the point that creator/writer David Chase follows his own time table.
When a reporter in the back of the room wanted Chris to tell the critics if Tony lives or dies, the stunned executive replied, “Are you high?”
Chris did say that he knew what David Chase had told him, but he wasn’t going to believe anything until after he’d seen the final scripts.
He did promise the viewers would not be disappointed. We’re hoping that if it’s still Christmas when “The Sopranos” returns, someone will get a big whack for the holidays.
