Oh Michael Bolton, we said we loved you…but we lied. This SNL Digital Short feels an awful lot like advertising Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but it’s pretty damn funny. Andy Samberg and the Lonely Island crew invite Michael Bolton over to help come up with a “real sexy hook” for their new single about ballin’ in da clubs and gettin’ all the ladies. Unfortunately, he just finished watching the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.

There were a few decently funny skits from SNL this weekend, which was hosted by a pregnant Tina Fey. You can watch the entire episode here. As for the new Pirates, the jury is still out. We should have a review up when it arrives. In the meantime, check out Thor or Fast Five. We had a good time at both of them.

If you like The Sopranos, watch these three great modern TV shows now
The cast of The Sopranos.

A quartercentury after it first premiered, The Sopranos retains a remarkably strong foothold over the television landscape. The show shaped what's become known as antihero TV, and it remains one of the very best shows of its kind to ever air. We're no longer in the Golden Age of TV, but there are still plenty of modern shows that owe at least a small debt to what The Sopranos was able to pull off.

While none of these series is exactly like The Sopranos, we've gathered three great shows that have something in common with that show. Whether you're just finishing up your first watch or have seen the show hundreds of times, these shows may help to fill the hole that it leaves behind.
