There's a few new shows and seasons starting this week, including the 2 hour premiere of "Lost" on Thursday but it all just feels like a build-up to the Super Bowl.

As Reuters mentioned yesterday, CBS is going to broadcast the entire first season of Dexter starting in February. The network is also considering borrowing Weeds from its sister network Showtime. Other networks are considering similar reshuffling of shows from their cable-only partners.

We continue our series of interviews with cast members of HBO's The Wire with Andre Royo. The actor born and raised in the Bronx plays Bubbles, a junkie/entrepreneur/informant who has been a central character to the show since its beginning. Royo, who recently moved to Silverlake, took time to speak to LAist about working on what he calls, "the most intelligent show on TV."

I think reasonable people would agree that ), David Milch, is speaking today for free at the WGA Theater.

There were probably worse movies released this year than Mr. Brooks (see Norbit, The Game Plan). However, Mr. Brooks was undeniably the most absurd. Everyone plays against type--to hilarious results. This is definitely a must-rental, but only if you plan to get really stoned. The final episodes of The Sopranos are finally available. What really happened to Tony during the much-hyped finale? I think it was all a dream inside an autistic boy's head....

In the last year, HBO has lost four of my favorite shows for various reasons--The Sopranos, Extras, Deadwood and Rome. Do you hear that sound, HBO? That sound is Showtime creeping up on you. At least the second season of Rome is now available on DVD. If you like gratuitous sex mixed with your gratuitious violence (and who doesn't?), then Rome is the show for you.

HBO has been known to push the envelope. Thanks to the fact that subscribers pay extra for the channel, and there are no commercials, the network is neither beholden to the FCC or uptight whiners. Without those restrictions, the network has been able to blossom with adult-orientated shows like The Sopranos, Taxi Cab Confessions, and Entourage. Now there's word that HBO has a new series about sex that actually shows real penetration between the...

A man in a Members Only jacket sits at the counter of the diner where Tony Soprano and his family have dinner. It's the very last scene of The Sopranos, and the stranger's presence is one of many theories that has developed from the show's controversial ending. In an attempt to shed some more light on this matter, we investigated the famous piece of outerware in earlier, more innocent times with General Hospital star...

If you haven't seen it already, Hillary Clinton's campaign spoof of The Sopranos' finale was released today (and wow is that acting bad!). It's purpose? To show that she and Bill are still together? Nah. The video helped announce her campaign theme song. And it's possibly the lamest campaign song EVER. Move over, Bill and Fleetwood Mac. Here comes Hill and Celine Dion. Yup, to appeal to all those kids and liberals out there,...

Though it might be tempting to stay home tomorrow night and embrace the melancholy void left by The Sopranos, I’d like to suggest an alternative that’ll at least get you out of the house. A little more than a year after playing a hypnotic set at the Hotel Cafe, Israeli-born French chanteuse Keren Ann will be performing Sunday evening at the Troubadour. Though initially known for her gorgeous, laid-back French songs, her last three...

Even in death, Sopranos fans are trying to prove that their favorite character is dead. On Sunday the critically-acclaimed mob drama The Sopranos wrapped up their series with a controversial ending that has left fans either applauding or jeering, but it seems like the fans who loved the show the most are the ones who are looking for clues to prove that the main character, Tony Soprano, was whacked. Many are claiming that there...

This is the week where everyone mourns the end of (watch this now if you've never seen it!), check out his initial transformation into the Ghost Rider for a signature example of WAY over-the-top acting.

LAist could have covered this final season of The Sopranos, but we intentionally didn't. We've covered other tv series's but The Sopranos is holy. Which is why God put it on Sundays. The finale was just as controversial as the best moments of the groundbreaking HBO drama. The kids on the message boards on the Interwebs are irate. And some of us feel like it was even more perfect than could be expected. We'll...

The Sopranos finale was awesome, and there will be a review forthcoming. In the meantime here are two videos and the lyrics to the two most important songs they played tonight.

A Word or 68: At long last, The Sopranos takes its long walk off a short pier, "leave the gun, bring the cannoli" a famous gangster once said. The somewhat heavily promoted (color double spread NY Times) John From Cincinatti follows. Nicole Richie continues to make her last ditch appeals for favorable public opinion before she appears before a judge in the next month or so - watch the rich girl squirm. Tonight -...

A Word or 48: The weekend might be there for watching some sports on TV. Other than the baseball there's the Monaco Grand Prix (Speed) on Sunday, as well as cycling's Giro d'Italia (Versus). For kicks, if you are truly desperate, watch Hudson Hawk in Spanish on KVEA on Saturday at 9 p.m. Tonight - Friday - June 1, 2007 Orioles @ Angels (Fox Sports, 7:00 p.m.) The Henry Rollins Show (IFC, 8:00 p.m.)...

A Word or 36: Baseball season is just starting up folks, am not sure how comprehensively I should be posting gametimes on TV Junkie.

For $45, English-language readers will now be able to subscribe to a year's worth of the magazine (11 regular issues + 1 special issue). Cahiers will also offer free online supplements.

Before he got his sweet gig at Tony Soprano's right hand man, Miami Steve Van Zandt was Bruce Springsteen's left hand man (Clarence took care of the things on the right). In this rare clip we see Sprinsteen out of the spotlight and on piano, while Little Steven handles the vocals and pays tribute to Joey Ramone's modern Christmas nugget....

The Prime Time Emmy Award nominations were announced today and yes, LAist was left out again this year. We keep waiting for the opportunity to use that old yet tried and true saying "its just a pleasure to be nominated" but we never seem to get the chance.

If you've ever sat through a really bad movie and thought to yourself "man, who decided to make this piece of crap?" We have a bit of good news for you. Something that might shed some light on this all-to-common occurance. Yes, that's right, the new season of Project Greenlight is now running on Bravo. Yes, we said Bravo.

It has been a massive six or seven weeks in the making via HBO's complicated episode-per-season equation. It has kept some of us on the edge of our seats while others have simply sat back wondering, Either way, HBO matriarch "Six Feet Under" ("The Sopranos" is, of course, the patriarch) and it's snotty little second-cousin twice-removed, "Entourage", wrap up this weekend in, most likely, a not-so-neat little bow.

- The New York Daily News gossip page lets us know that The Sopranos' final season will not air in 2005.

Additionally, one might imagine that Six Feet Under, proclaimed by their own website to be "The World's Premier Death Metal Band," is pretty teed off by all the billboards and buzz about the show. And maybe we've missed it, but does anyone know what neighborhood the Fisher home is supposed to be in? Los Feliz or something? First commenter to respond usefully wins the LAist No-Prize!
