HBO2 Is Doing A 7 Day Sopranos Marathon

Author Carl Craft
HOB2 planning a Sopranos marathon beginning Friday, January 5th at noon.

You gotta love New Jersey’s greatest television export in the history of the medium.  With the possible exception of the Batman franchise (because the fictional city of Gotham City was located in New Jersey), I’m talking about HBO’s The Sopranos.  The Sopranos changed everything that television could do when it debuted in 1999.  There’s only one Sopranos.  Not many shows have come close to what this show did.  HBO is again airing a Sopranos marathon airing every episode of every season.

The marathon of every Sopranos episode of every season will begin on Friday, January 5th on HBO2.  The marathon will begin each day at 12 noon and continue through midnight.

59th Annual Emmy Awards - Show

LOS ANGELES, CA – SEPTEMBER 16: The cast of the Sopranos accepts the Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series award onstage during the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium on September 16, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.

I love the timing of this because you don’t have to wake up early and you really don’t have to stay up too late to catch the whole marathon.  The timing of the Sopranos marathon also means that you’ll get one full season each day.  From first to last.  That means that if you’d like to plan ahead to catch a particular episode or make sure you get to see a particular Sopranos scene, you can.

For example.  Want to be sure to see the Asbury Park boardwalk on the Sopranos?  Then you can tune into the marathon during season two.  In season 2, episode 13 Tony will be on the boards.  That episode will air on Saturday, January 6 at 10:45pm.  Of course, there’s also a Asbury Park boardwalk scene in season 3.  That episode will air Sunday, January 7th at 8:21.

Catch our Jersey Shore town of Sea Bright in the Sopranos episode, “Whitecaps” which will air at about 11pm on Monday, January 8th.

Wanna see James Gandolfini’s character Tony say to Bobby that classic line, “I think it’s time you seriously considered salads.”  Then tune in to HBO2 for Season 2, Episode 2 which airs Saturday, January 6th at 12:52pm.

Wanna hear Tony Soprano say that the, “papers are calling this the year of the RAT”?  You’ll have to watch season 6A for that one.

The Sopranos changed television.  And did it in a very Jersey way.  Thank you, James.  Well, done, sir.

Celebrity Deaths 2023: Musicians, Entertainers & Cultural Figures We Lost

We’ve had to say goodbye to some big names this year in the worlds of entertainment, sports, politics and beyond. To be frank, it was an absolutely brutal year.

So many giants in music died in 2023. Guitar god Jeff Beck died suddenly in January at age 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis. In February, legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach died at age 94. Singer, actor and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte died in April at age 96 from congestive heart failure. In May, the world lost Tina Turner – the Queen of Rock ‘n Roll – at age 83. Iconic pop singer Tony Bennett died in July at age 96.

The worlds of television and film were not immune to significant loss in 2023. Sitcom mastermind Norman Lear died in December at age 101. Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers died in October at age 76 from an aggressive form of breast cancer. Matthew Perry also died in October. The Friends star was only 54. Bob Barker, longtime host of The Price is Right, died in August at age 99. Paul Reubens, best known for his character Pee-wee Herman, died in July at age 70 following a private battle with cancer.

The sports world was rocked by the deaths of three major wrestling figures. In June, The Iron Sheik (Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) died at age 81. Then, in August, there were two back-to-back deaths. First, WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk died at age 79. Funk’s hardcore style has been influential to generations of wrestlers that followed. Then, Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) suddenly died at age 36. The young wrestler died after contracting COVID, which exacerbated a heart issue and led to a heart attack.

Scroll through the gallery below to see the musicians, celebrities and other cultural figures we’ve lost in 2023.
