HBO buzz

HBO announced earlier this month that the Sopranos will be stretched to seven seasons. A 12-episode Season 6 begins in March, and creator David Chase says he will produce an additional eight episodes to begin airing in January 2007.

What can we expect in the spring? The New York Daily News reports today that the show is shooting a late season 6 episode at a new $350 million residential community in Jersey City, NJ, formerly the Jersey City Medical Center. This tells me that Uncle Junior is headed to the Alzheimer's ward.

Also coming soon to HBO, "Extras," a comedy about a "proper" actor who can only get work as an extra, starring Ricky Gervais, creator of "The Office" on the BBC. It debuts Sunday, Sept. 25.

"Real Time with Bill Maher" returns Friday.
