James Gandolfini in The Sopranos. Photo: HBO David Chase’s gangster thriller/soap opera/satire/philosophical statement The Sopranos turns 20 today. To commemorate the occasion — ground zero for so-called “prestige TV,” with an ending that people still fight over — I co-wrote a book about it with my good friend, Rolling Stone TV critic Alan Sepinwall, who used to share the TV beat with me at the Star-Ledger of New Jersey, the paper Tony Soprano routinely picked up from the end of his driveway.
9. “Made in America” The only episode besides the pilot that was both written and directed by Chase, this series finale is remembered mainly for its concluding four minutes, a dreamlike dinner with the Soprano family ending in a strangely timed cut to black that inspired debates about whether Tony lived or died and if that question mattered.
6. “The Knight in White Satin Armor” Directed by Sopranos veteran Alan Taylor , this will forever be known as the one where Janice shoots Richie, and it’s one of the most influential episodes of any television show ever made. It taught its contemporaries and successors that you could shock viewers not just with what happened, but how and when. Timing had never before been used as such a devastating dramatic weapon.
mattzollerseitz I liked the first one.

mattzollerseitz Every one of them is great.
mattzollerseitz Just when I thought all hope was gone that was when I meet Brian Phillip who made my little $700 became something worth more. Now I don't have to depend on my paycheck. Can't thank you enough Vincent_Rwate__
mattzollerseitz All of them?
mattzollerseitz I still think there should've been a Dr. Who/ Sopranos crossover episode. Paulie not noticing it's bigger on the inside.
mattzollerseitz Pine Barrens and College are worthy.
mattzollerseitz Can’t believe it’s been over 20 years now. One of the greatest shows I have ever seen & definitely helped change TV shows for the better. My friends & I would watch every episode over & over in High School. It was my generation’s (Millennial) Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino

mattzollerseitz I like the one about the gambling addict who owned a sports store because I learned what a 'bust out' is.
Oh, hey, what could this be...
mattzollerseitz I thought the one when his therapist declined to bring Tony’s violence into her own tragedy was a big deal in the earth’s long chronicle?
mattzollerseitz “Isabella” is a top 10 episode in my opinion
mattzollerseitz 'Test Dream' cracking the top 10 is fantastic, seems to be a love/hate, which is firmly a love for me
mattzollerseitz anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 labour define gross economy 3 finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy
Pine Barrens should be 1.
mattzollerseitz Oh, what?! You don’t like “The Telltale Moozadell”?! Bafangool!
