SCENES FROM LAST NIGHT'S "SOPRANOS" IF HBO HAD MERGED WITH ANOTHER NETWORK



This is the latest in a series here at TCP presenting extra scenes from last night's episode of "The Sopranos" that would have been shown if HBO had merged with another network. This week's network is MSNBC.



SCENE: Ralphie's son get shot accidentally with an arrow.



EXTRA SCENE: HBO/MSNBC Investigates does an hour on bow and arrow safety, repeated for the next two years, which nobody watches.



SCENE: Ralphie snubs Paulie at the Bada Bing.



EXTRA SCENE: Ralphie and Paulie appear on Hardball to resolve their dispute, but are drowned out by Chris Matthews, waxing rhapsodic about his Irish Catholic upbringing, to the point where Ralphie and Paulie both shoot him.



SCENE: Ralphie's horse is killed in an electrical fire.



EXTRA SCENE: HBO/MSNBC Investigates does an hour on electrical safety which is repeated for 3 years, which absolutely nobody ever watches. (I have a lot of balls making fun of MSNBC's ratings considering I usually get 4 accidental hits a day from people looking for information on the Crossbow Home Gym.)



SCENE: Tony kills Ralphie, and Christopher rips the toupee off Ralphie's head while preparing the body for being "disappeared".



EXTRA SCENE: Ashleigh Banfield appears to give the toupee a treatment with L'Oreal Candlelit Golden Brown to help Ralphie stay inconspicuous in the afterlife.
