The Hollywood Reporter interviews David Chase about creating the Sopranos and receiving the Paddy Chayesfsky Laurel Award for Television, and Chase takes a moment to praise our favorite show.
By and large, I still find TV to be a franchise-ridden bog. I still see a lot of policemen and lawyers and judges and sheriffs. There still seems to be a very intense interest in institutions and not as much interest in the existential situation of being alive. (AMC’s) “Mad Men” is a departure from that. It’s about one of the basics of life in this country, which is desire and consumption. And I feel the same way about “The Sopranos.” Here in the U.S., where the business of America is business, I feel like “The Sopranos” was the only show that ever dealt almost all the time with money.
Nice.

Really well put, Mr. Chase.
I'm sure you've mentioned it and I'm just blind, but do know when AMC is running the marathon on Season 1? I have heard they will do that before Season 2 airs.
Stephanie, Answer = we don’t frigging know.
Sorry. Sucks. I really wish we did.
