    Why?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 421 ✭✭hot fuss


    Not sure, but probably because they don't want anything big up against the leader debate.

    hot fus, if you can listen to what, it says in the papers on, morning ireland why the sopranos is moved to next thursday,very funny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,015 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Yeah I heard about this today, they just went and pissed me right off. Rté just don't want anything good on at the same time as the election debate that could take away from its ratings. :(

    Maybe RTE don't care about the license paying public? It's a preposterous thought I know, but that's the only reason I could think they would do something like that.

    You are waiting a whole week. You'd swear they have decided not to show it completely the way you are going on.

    Nah, don't even watch the programme. Couldn't give a toss really but felt the need to knock RTE today - k? You'd swear you loved RTE or something the way you're going on there :p

    Unfortunately it doesn't suit the RTE 'brand' to have a pack of gangsters on one of their channels and the sopranos on the other at the same time :)

    Just listened to it online... hilarious!! That Shane Hegarty has a point!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,362 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    I think its a good idea actually.. It serves 2 purposes. Firstly, those who would otherwise watch the Sopranos will be able to watch the debate, thus increasing ratings. Also, those who were gonna watch the debate anyway, but who would like to watch the Sopranos too (my dad included...) will be able to...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 421 ✭✭hot fuss


    Oh I definitely agree. It is a good idea. I just don't understand why they weren't organised enough to decide it earlier. Why have all TV schedules, highlights etc.. promoting three new series on Thursday night and then all three are pushed back a week with 3 or 4 days notice!

    Some forward planning wouldn't go amiss!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭Fremen


    Anyone who's really into the sopranos will have had their cousin in america post videos of the episodes over already... :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 817 ✭✭✭md99


    I'm gutted..... Was awaiting this day for a month. damn. ah well next week will have to do

    wacca wacca wacca
    what a freaking joke as the man himself would say. The sopranos would be a welcome alternative to listen to waffle about alternative govenment and the likes on one. Maybe bertie likes the sopranos and got them to hold off for a week just for him :rolleyes:

    A lot of people can't get in touch with their cousin though because the quality of their phone line is so bad.

    At the end of the day, it's only another week. Plus, the opening few episodes are a bit slow, it'll take a few weeks to really get going.

    Pi$$ed off here! How many eps in total; I was under the impression it was going to be a short run?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,849 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    10 in total, have been 6 so far

    Think its actually only 9 in total, 3 left for the cousins to ship over. ;) 20th of May, 3rd of June, and then the finale on the 10th of June


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,849 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    Yeah, you're right. I forget about the "bye week" on May 27th

    There is no advertising during the debate. It has nothing to do with ratings and everything to do with the fact that people should be watching the debate with only a week left until the election. The Sopranos is watched by a large amount of people so they pulled it to keep focus on the important programming that night. It's only a week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Why wait for the post when you can watch it free online.

    Eh... yeah. He's actually getting his cousins to post over tapes of the show. :rolleyes:

    Clicked on to the Soprano page and read more than I wanted to about the new episodes. I've purposely avoided reading threads so far and then Bam! RTE hit me with some SPOILERS!

    Same happened to me.

    Was really looking forward to this tonight.

    Guess I'll have to wait another week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭Fremen


    Nine more after the hiatus, according to wikipedia

    This is SH1T:mad: A huge proportion of people simply dont give a sh1t about the b0ll0x these politicians spouts. Why shouldnt we have a choice of what we watch?


    Its not like watching those gobsh1tes makes a difference anyway. Its just a popularity contest based on personalities, does anyone believe anything these fellas say? Do you really think they will carry out the policies they say? This is nothing more than a vanity contest tonight. At least we would have been entertained with the sopranos. I fvcking despise RTE WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BODY.:mad: :mad:
