Sopranos Magazine Ad

[mikeyboy]

So I picked up the Entertainment Weekly Oscars issue, and it's really thick. It's a double issue, but still it's overly thick. I open to an ad insert for the Sopranos season opener. I open the ad, and it starts playing the Sopranos theme song. It's not one of those rinky-dink, electronic greeting card jingles, it's the actual theme song. Sure, it's muffled and sounds kind of crappy, but there's some kind of sound chip in there. It probably cost a big chunk of change to put this in all of the issues (at least the subscription ones).

My question is this: isn't this kind of excessive for the return of a show that already has a huge buzz? Sure it's not as big as the buzz for the second or third seasons, but it still has a big buzz. Second, if there are people out there who aren't interested in the Sopranos after 4 seasons, will this little sound chip dealie make a difference?

With the Shit Sandwiches being served up by the Networks in droves, and being dissed and dismissed by the public just as fast [Coupling, anyone?] I have a feeling that the Sopranos Hyppe will build real nice and get to a slow rolling boil come the Night of the Return.

My only fear is that it will have to compete with the last show of last season, which may have been the single greatest TV hour on the breakup of a marriage ever shown.

The only thing I know, is it sure will be not what we expect.

MY only complaint is it's opposite Alias every week. Two of the few shows I watch regularly.
