      What cracks me up is that one of HBO's arguments against increasing Gandolfini's payday is that the Soprano's doesn't look "attractive" for reruns/syndication. What bullshit-- their DVD sales for the past 3 seasons' full episodes rocked. If this isn't a clear indication of the public's willingness to view reruns I don't know what is.

                    "Gandolfini, who plays mob boss Tony Soprano, is reportedly seeking upward of $1 million an episode, while HBO has offered $800,000. Gandolfini currently earns about $400,000 an episode."

                    What a fucking asshole, HBO only DOUBLED his pay per episode, I'm sure that he can live comfortably off of that.

                    It's also rotten to know that HBO made the guy a big star, if it wasn't for HBO, he wouldn't be where he is today. I guess that once you get big like that, you stab people in the back.

                      Totally depends on the series and how hardcore the network is. "All in the Family" star Carol O'Connor thought he "was the show" and wanted more money--network axed him and the show went on [of course it died quickly thereafter].

                        I don't agree...HBO didn't make him a big star. He made HIMSELF a big star. He fucking made that show, not the other way around.

                        Great writing doesn't mean shit if you don't have the right people in place to make it come to life.

                        And in regards to HBO doubling his pay...sure he could live comfortably off of that. But I'm sure that the HBO execs can live comfortably on the MULTI millions of dollars that show had made them. The guy makes the show. That's just the way it is. Without him, there IS no Sopranos. Can HBO still make assloads of cash if they are paying him 1mill per episode?

                        You bet your ass they can.

                            NBC picked up more episodes of Kingpin. We'll be seeing more of them soon.

                            This Soprano's bs will be taken care of. He's just trying to get all he can. In some cases, a show might be able to live on minus the star...but I don't think that it would fly here.

                            Spend you some brain.

                                This is probably a publicity stunt by HBO to get people all hyped up. Isn't the next season coming out on DVD/VHS soon?? hmmm...

                                HBO is cleaning up on this show, Tony Soprano will get his money!!

                                  I think HBO is a bunch of pigs. Damn starts of Friends make 1mil per episode EACH. Sopranos owns friends in every way.
                                  Ask me how to monetize with adult traffic!
