And it was the threat of that attack from HBO's North Jersey coast that actually brought Bejing to its knees. Thankfully, as soon as the Chinese heard that Doubleya was already dialing up HBO's Head of Original Programming, Chris Albrecht, the gig was up.

Five minutes with the Tony Soprano and bada bing , we got our boys back. Too bad Tony's mom isn't around any more.
