The Sopranos - The Episode that Changed Television Forever

Tony soprano is not a ANTI-HERO. HE IS THE VILLAIN

It is the most important, because up to this episode I had no idea it was about the mob until after Tony and Meadow's dialogue in the car.

It's geese flying.

❤

You know what i was so busy being a drug dealing lowlife that these shows have me anxiety so i never saw it im gonna check it out

That guy never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Sopranos is like if marvel made a series about the Kingpin, but made him out to be the hero

I really did not like Sopranos but that episode was definitely one of the better ones. Suspense with an actual happy ending.

Bogdonavich interviewing Chase, I have to find that

Just rewatched this episode. Fuckin masterpiece

"Mix it wit da relish" ...best line in television history.

Brilliant analysis....

“School of ducks”?!? 😆😂🤣

One of my top 10 ‘Sopranos’ favorite episodes.

I got hooked on The Sopranos at my brother's house one Sunday night. He offered to loan me the first and second seasons he had on DVD, then I was caught up and never missed a Sunday from there. I'm glad you didn't show the strangling scene to the bitter end. It came up on another video yesterday and I had to stop watching. Seeing that once was enough, probably more than enough. I still can't explain my attraction to the series to myself. I've never owned a TV, and stopped watching it when I left home at 21. I'm 73 now....

I remember watching that episode when it 1st came out because I LOVED the Dropkick Murphys back then and one of their songs played in the background in a bar.

I’m sorry but the golden age of television was from 1951 to 1979.

Wow. You nailed it. This episode really cemented my infatuation with The Sopranos. Of course Breaking Bad captured me from the first episode. But I can see how it evolved. Thank you 😊

Very well done

Changed Television Forever...? PURE HYPERBOLE

What, because he strangled a guy on TV?

The interior decorator and Chrissys reply always crack me up 😂

Tony soprano: likable, ruthless
Walter white: focused, ruthless
Fans: loved both of them

I couldn’t stand “Elliot” 😅. But seeing him in this interview with David Chase, i forgive him 😅

So many thanks for that golden age,, have never bothered with a tv series again, no need.

Meadow would of got it in every way possible.

This was definitely the episode that made me think this show is gonna be special.

no gabagool no pitzah. this episode sucks!

Great video. Insightful.

'his house look like shit' - christopher

you can immediately say a lot about christopher character and how his demise came into fruition
the guy cared more about the lavish life than andrianna herself

That was crazy when Tony choked out that guy

I like to think it was a tale of duality and Tony being unable to separate the two halves of himself. He wrestles with the truth regarding someone he trusts WHOLLY while trying to navigate his "work" life. He just couldn't leave it alone. He couldn't turn it off and that's the whole problem with Tony. He can't turn things off. To the point he's having fuckin' breakdowns at family gatherings.

Man...I have only watched 2 seasons and clicked on the video because I've seen this episode. But you put the scene from the end of the 3rd season in the very beginning.

Never though about it but the video creator is right. Growing up with violent cartoons and shows has desensitized my generation to brutality on the media we consume.

A school of ducks? Seriously?!? A SCHOOL ...? of DUCKS?!??!

It’s 2024 and I’m watching Sopranos for the 3rd time. The new documentary on the show called Wise Guys forced me to watch it again.

"Yeah Meadow. I killed a former associate on the IAM who flipped."
Meadow: okay, dad. Thanks for the info.

The problem is some people see Tony as a protagonist. He is not. He is a sociopath. An extremely charisimatic character but none the less a sociopath. I cannot say that I haven't found myself rooting for the Skipper but then I come back to an obvious observation....T is a sociopath. Right now we have more than our fare share of that. Rather see them on the screen than in the news.

Did this nigga confidently say we are in the golden age of tv when he released this this 2021? Nigga those shows were like 10+ years ago, that golden age been gone - American cinema and TV been pretty ass for over 5 years now

😂😂😂😂😂😂

This IS NOT the golden age of television, TF?

There were two things I already knew before I had even finished viewing this episode for the first time:
* for once a show was actually going there
* it would be all downhill from here

It's like what they say about chasing the high, every other time is just an attempt to replicate the first time.

It was simply too good to continue to exist at that intensity.

We got a brief peak into this theatre of the gods. And then we got a long, sustained afterimage, never quite as good again, but better than anything else, all the same.

To continue to evolve Meadow at that level, as the unformed ingenue of final complicity, you would have needed to hire Dostoevsky and Tolstoy and Bulgakov and Gogol, and somehow manage to get them to all work together, seamlessly.

Shakespeare did tragedy. Russia is tragedy. Unfortunately, it's a tragedy that keeps on giving, because that is all it has ever known since the Kyivan Rus'.

Idk about “changed tv forever” 😂😂😂 that’s such a reach
