How I Would Like to See ‘The Sopranos’ Live On: A PrequelJune 11th, 2007 in TV |

I truly think that this is a Billion Dollar idea. Remember in the first few seasons of ‘The Sopranos’ as the story would flashback to the 60’s and you would be able to get a glimpse of Tony’s father, Johnny boy, and uncle Junior as they would reign chaos upon North Jersey? Wouldn’t you love to see a movie or HBO Series devoted to ‘The Sopranos’ of yester-year? David Chase appeared to run out of ideas for the modern day Sopranos in the last few seasons. He had done everything to the characters and personalities that he had thought of, but a whole new world could await the creator of the hit show if he chooses to pursue this type of show.
The flashbacks were always a highlight for me. Imagine seeing Livia Soprano raising hell, little Tony and Janice in a sibling rivalry, Junior and Tony playing catch, Phil Leotardo and the NY crew giving Jersey hell, Paulie Walnuts back in the day, and many more stories that are just itching to be to be let out of the vaults.
How can you let a such a successful show die? The public, I think, would buy it. I think being able to start from scratch and being able to get a glimpse of what made Jersey gang what it became would be an instant success. Don’t you think that HBO or a film studio would gulp this right up?

I agree.
It would seem that a prequel to the Sopranos would be more interesting than taking this series any further.
One of my favorite episodes from the Sopranos was the flashback showing a young Tony growing up in Jersey.
It would be fascinating to see “Johnny Boy” and Corrado Soprano during the early days of their rise in the maffia.
Either a series on HBO, or a movie, it would be must-see.
