Two-Year Wait for 'The Sopranos'

[russian33]

The final season of HBO's The Sopranos, which will likely include only ten episodes, won't air until 2006, HBO Chairman Chris Albrecht told TV critics yesterday at their annual press tour. Albrecht defended the delay, saying "People complain that TV does the same formula all the time ... and now people seem to be upset that we aren't following the formula we're supposed to be following" by scheduling it two years from now. News reports indicated that production of the final series won't begin until March, 2005.

"People complain that TV does the same formula all the time..."

Yeah, but not a single one of those complaints has ever been, "Gee, my favorite show produces new episodes too quickly."

:wtf:

Seems kind of risky - what if a main character isn't around in 2005?

Just went to the HBO website - apparently they are going to start massive season 1 through 4 reruns starting in September
