He tells Blogtalkradio.com's Let's Do Lunch show, "On New Years Eve we're putting together an event with 30 wounded warriors - policemen and firemen - sitting under the ball in Times Square.
"I've got a police escort picking me up in the Bronx to take me down to New York City with a couple of my Sopranos friends. First we're going to Johnny's Pizza to have pizza with the wounded warriors and then we'll go down to see the ball drop." »
Blu-Ray Review: First Season of HBO’s ‘The Sopranos’ Comes to HD
9 December 2009 6:43 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The network that redefined TV on DVD has some catching up to do when it comes to Blu-Ray. When you buy a Blu-Ray player for that TV-loving viewer in your family, they can buy all five seasons of “Lost,” the complete series of “Battlestar Galactica,” and even the original “Star Trek” on Blu-Ray, but most HBO series are just catching up. With an excellent recent release for “Rome,” the studio/network now turns its gaze to the best program of the ’00s with the first season of “The Sopranos”.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
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. »
