Ausiello-Report 06/20/2007
Ausiello Report | TVGuide.com
The Sopranos' cliff-hanging finale still has people talking, but in Hollywood, it's one TV titan's reaction to the polarizing swan song that has folks buzzing. This A-list auteur — whose work on a certain long-running series made him one of the wealthiest and most sought-after writer/producers working today — gathered a group of pals together to watch Tony's farewell in his new blinged-out screening room. When the TV went blank at the end of the episode, he (like the rest of America) thought a meteor had struck his satellite dish. But when he realized that that was the intended ending, he threw a tantrum that would've made the cast and crew of a David O. Russell film cower in fear. According to one invitee, he started yelling and ranting about what a cop-out David Chase had pulled, adding that he had gone through hell trying to figure out an appropriate ending to his hit series, but Chase apparently felt no such pressure. You-know-who got so worked up that, per my mole, "It was embarrassing and uncomfortable." So, who's the TV big shot who went bada berserk?

Lorne Michaels. The David O. Russell reference points to many movies starring SNL alumni...

If it is Lorne, then I really don't know. Just a guess.
Larry David worked on SNL too, btw.

I can't imagine any thought went into the series ender of Seinfeld, though. It was practically a clip show.

I think it has to do with how they're comparing the worst ending of shows.
Found this on a few websites -

^^Isn't West Wing still on? I still thin kits David E. Kelley with Ally Mcbeal.

^^I think so too. Lorne Michaels never wrote a dramatic series to my knowledge.

Ally McBeal ran four or five seasons? What is the time requirement for "long running"?
NYPD Blue ran for 12 years and David Milch was a producer there. He then went on to Deadwood and now has John from Cinci.
Edited to add: All three of these shows would be HBO shows too! That would piss me off if the company let one guy off and not me!

Ally was 6 seasons, I personally would consider anything over 3 or 4 years long-running.
