I'm working on disc profile submissions for The Sopranos and there are no overviews / synopsis for the episodes on the liner notes, box art or episode menus.

IMDB has some pithy descriptions of episodes, but of course we cannot lift from that source.

The Sopranos: S 1 EP 01 The Sopranos: Synopsis

The HBO website has synopsis for episodes that are very well written and I don't mind that they're a bit long, as people can just ignore the overview section.

The biggest thing for me is whether these overviews contain what constitute spoilers. You would think that the people holding the rights to the work wouldn't do that because it might diminish the value of their product.

Wikipedia is open source content, but what they have for each episode is very long.

I'd rather not do the overviews myself, so I was wondering if there is another source from which this info could be borrowed?

Since there is none with the release (I take it no included booklet either?) and the rules says we can do our own... what I would do is take from the official sight on HBO but edit it down to what I feel is enough info without giving spoilers and rewording it where need be... essentially making it my own as I am just using theirs as a base and submit that.

With that said if you want to just submit from the official website of the show I can't see someone complaining about that.
