'Sopranos' NOT returning in January ... we'll have to wait till March
We just got through a round of tense contract wrangling that almost saw several key supporting cast members exit the show . I'm not sure how that would have been written: terrorists strike Meadow's wedding, ala Dynasty. Now comes word it'll be a longer than advertised wait for the concluding 8 episodes.
'We don't have a premiere date for 'Sopranos' yet,' HBO chief Chris Albrecht told TV critics on Wednesday. 'We've talked about maybe slotting it in next to 'Rome' before that season ends, or maybe waiting until that's over. Best guess would be beginning of March. It definitely won't be in January.' Albrecht says the delay for the final eight episodes was partly due to James Gandolfini's knee surgery, which stopped production for several weeks."
I know some folks were disappointed with the final episode before the break, but storywise, this is the calm before the storm. I think that Christmas scene is the happiest any of them will ever be before what comes next.
