Boy, if you decided to TiVo the Sopranos finale and watch something else last night, I hope you didn't look at the front page, above the fold headline in today's Chron before you queued it up. Because if you did, you might have gotten a little angry at the lack of discretion therein. (So if you haven't watched it yet, don't click that link.)

I realize that most people, TiVo or no TiVo, probably did watch it live last night. But in this day and age, even on true must-see nights, you have to figure there's a nontrivial number of people who, by choice or by circumstance, put it off till later. It's one thing to expect people who haven't tuned in yet to skip a story, it's another altogether to expect them to overlook the front page. A little restraint would have gone a long way, is all I'm saying.
