Johnson Supplemental

To supplement the Johnson reading, and to give you visual support for the shows he references, I have compiled this playlist of YouTube clips. In total, this playlist's run-time is roughly 25 minutes (edited down from over an hour of video).



 



Note: The playlist ends with the final scene of The Sopranos. The show did end in this way: cutting suddenly to black, followed by 10 full seconds of black before the end credits appeared. At the time, some fans expressed irritation. They thought their TVs had malfunctioned, or they saw the ending as ambiguous and as a cop-out. Other fans saw it as the perfect ending for this series. They noted the allusion to the restaurant scene in The Godfather, and they claimed that the scene provided clues to what would follow (Tony's death).
