Correspondent Jim Axelrod asked “Sopranos” creator David Chase, “Where did all that come from, the therapy part and the mother part?”

“Well, I was in therapy, and well, actually, because of my mother, you know?” shrugged Chase.

After six seasons, in 86 episodes, to a place on just about every critic’s list of most influential shows ever, after Tony Soprano’s North Jersey mafia family rewrote the rules spurning network standards for the freedom of cable, after Chase gave us a brutal mob boss who spent sessions with his shrink talking about his mother … he knew exactly what he’d hear once he cut-to-black in the series finale 14 years ago: “People that I meet socially would say, ‘Are you gonna do more? Oh, you should do more!'”
