Super Bowl LVI saw a bit of a resurgence in the type of quality entertainment many have come to expect when it comes to the commercials during the game.
E*Trade brought back their uber cool babies, Dr. Evil and his crew made an appearance for Chevrolet, Planet Fitness even dragged Lindsay Lohan out of mothballs for a pretty good spot.
Speaking of Chevrolet, the car company had another hit commercial on their hands when they brought Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler back as Meadow and A.J. Soprano, complete with theme song and shot for shot footage of all the iconic locations from the show’s intro.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who is now 40 (!), spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what it was like stepping back into Meadow Soprano’s shoes after 15 years away.
“Sopranos has been this unique experience where every time we think it’s going to be the last time we’re doing something, there is always something else that comes,” said Sigler.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler was very excited to reprise her Sopranos character
“When I got the call about this commercial, the whole concept made such perfect sense: It’s Chevrolet coming out with this all-new Silverado EV. It’s about a new generation, which Meadow and A.J. represent. I thought it was a brilliant idea. And then when they told me David Chase was on board and Phil Abraham was going to be [the cinematographer], it was so special. It was a dream to do. I had chills the entire time.”
Sigler added, “I played that character for 10 years, and I always wondered what it would be like, where she is in her life. I was able to drop right back in. Despite all of her rebellion and all of her frustration, she was her father’s daughter. And if anyone was capable of running things at some point, it was definitely Meadow.”
While we didn’t exactly get to see what Meadow Soprano has been doing for the past 15 years, it was nice to see that she, and A.J., appear to be doing okay for themselves.

Plus, at least in the commercial, she didn’t have to learn how to parallel park.
