Who would’ve guessed that Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) would be one of the breakout stars of 2020 television, over two decades after The Sopranos” premiered on HBO, utterly revolutionized the sm…
Why do you think the show is having this renewed moment during this pandemic?
The first season, second season of the show, the thing I liked best about it was hearing that families and friends got together for pizza, spaghetti and red wine, whatever, and watched the show. I mean, just imagine that: you’re creating parties. I just loved it. It was very particular in New York, to go to a movie or whatever, a restaurant — and even in Europe it happened — and have people in their twenties come up to you and say, “I really like your show.” And you just go, “What is going on here?”
There was a couple of ideas which have come to me or been told to me, or I heard, since the show went off the air, that I wish I had known about it, so we could have done an episode. I heard something somebody told me — maybe it Steven Van Zandt — something about real wise guys and some peculiarity there. And I realized that could be a whole episode, and we definitely would have done it if I had known about it at the time.
Oh yeah, absolutely. Like I said, it’s a wonderful kick. It’s tremendous, and I don’t know if “touched” is the right word, but I’m surprised and, yeah, touched that there were so many, especially young people. But they could be a hundred years old, I wouldn’t care, who appreciate that show, because a lot of that stuff was in my head before it went out on paper and then film. So it’s like somebody understands me.
