david chase there. very moving words there, bill. >> yes. >> i've been struck by the extraordinary outpouring of tributes and grief on twitter and facebook, really a lot of people seem to have been really affected by this. >> this show when it started nobody knew anything about it. it was supposedly about a mobster but sounded like an opera show because it was called the sopranos. it was rejected by fox and pitched to them and suddenly it was the most-talked about show and grew to an enormous level. hbo is only seen in a third of the televisions in america. it was a cultural phenomenon and just drove the talk of, you know, television and the entertainment industry for all the years it was on. >> he did a remarkable interview in the actor's studio, if you haven't seen it, get on youtube and watch it. he really was the craft of acting. incredibly seriously and agonized about it, didn't he? whenever i read it, it was the constant pursuit of perfection. he was never happy? >> he and chase -- i did a double

david chase crafted these characters. that you have a mob boss who is a neurotic who goes to see a shrink is unbelievable. >> it's fantastic. we were just watching a scene where he walks in the door and sits down with the shrink. and for, i don't know, maybe 10 to 12 seconds they just stare at each other. it was fantastic. i remember that scene. >> chris matthews, it really was. it was so subtle. and yet -- it was pitch perfect. and i do agree, i think it was a perfect partnership between david chase's kinset and james gandolfini. extraordinary television. >> yeah, we are watching this, it's the genesis as you said, joe. and i think what we're seeing is people trying to match it. and certainly don draper, we watched it every weekend. i find the show blossoming with all the complexity of the character you root for but know he's not a good guy it seems. and you look at kevin spacey's portrayal of the character on "house of cards." the standard, the gold standard of television, especially on cable, i also think on network tv
