The Sopranos – Deep Influence on The Shows

What more is there to say about ”The Sopranos”? It changed television more than any program in decades, setting a new standard for the kind of complex, character-driven storytelling that could be accomplished in the hour-long format. With uniformly remarkable performances from the entire cast and iconic characters, ”The Sopranos” transcended just being another TV show to become a true cultural phenomenon. Even if you’ve never seen the program, you’ve felt its influence on the shows that followed.

“The Sopranos” was sublime, Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais gave us the giggles, and the fictional towns of Dillon, Texas, and Stars Hollow, Conn., became beloved TV destinations.

Building on HBO’s stunning collection of The Sopranos TV series on Blu-ray, The Sopranos won an astonishing 21 Emmy® and 5 Golden Globe awards.

Writer-producer-director of The Sopranos David Chase’s extraordinary television series is an urban gangster drama, but its true impact strikes closer to home, chronicling a dysfunctional, suburban American family in bold relief.

The Sopranos stars three-time Emmy winners James Gandolfini (In The Loop) as Tony Soprano and Edie Falco as Tony’s wife Carmela, plus Lorraine Bracco as therapist Dr. Jennifer Melfi, Emmy winner Michael Imperioli (Goodfellas) as Tony’s nephew Christopher Moltisanti and Dominic Chianese as Uncle Junior.

Other series regulars include Robert Iler as Anthony Soprano, Jr., Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Meadow Soprano, Tony Sirico as Paulie Walnuts and Steven Van Zandt as Silvio Dante.

Tony Soprano tries to be a good family man on two fronts – to his wife, kids and widowed mother – and as a capo in the New Jersey mob. The pressure of work and family life give him anxiety attacks, so Tony starts seeing a psychiatrist, which is not the kind of thing a guy advertises in the circles Tony moves in – it could get him killed.
