A compelling and innovative television writer, David Chase has
created distinctive programs since the 1970s, each reflecting his
edgy humor and psychological realism. These critical essays examine
Chase's television writings, placing particular emphasis on how his
past works have shaped and influenced the current cultural
phenomenon of HBO's The Sopranos, and studying Chase's use of
identity, community, and place in defining his on-screen
characters. Topics explored include Chase's constructs of the urban
L.A. environment in The Rockford Files, the portrayal of hybridized
American archetypes in Northern Exposure, and the interpretation of
sexual identity/masculinity in The Sopranos. An appendix containing
complete episode guides for The Rockford Files, Northern Exposure,
and The Sopranos is also included.
