Coming Soon: Jim Cramer, Master TV Critic

Latest Post: Mad Money Meltdown - Jim Cramer, CNBC, TheStreet.com In Intensive Care

No doubt Jim Cramer will bounce back from his slap-down by Jon Stewart --- bigger, badder, and louder than ever --- on his Mad Money finanicial advice programme on CNBC next week. But on the off chance that he gives up his stock-market game, he's got a fall-back position.

Here Jim gives his best friend, James Altucher of TheStreet.com, a lesson in how to read The Sopranos, using personal experience (you know, making millions of dollars in a single day) to illuminate the series:

One can only hope that The Daily Show and Jon Stewart show some mercy towards Jim Cramer, if not the world of financial "experts", after last week's pummeling of the Mad Money host/former hedge fund manager/general shyster.

Cramer skipped a Saturday morning appearance on CNBC's news partner, MSNBC. CNBC refused any comment on the Friday night Stewart-Cramer interview, and producers at MSNBC muzzled their reporters, telling them not to mention the event.

The Chief Executive Officer at TheStreet. com, the stock market advice site founded by Cramer, has resigned. On Friday, Stewart left Cramer gasping for air with a video in which Jim told TheStreet.com of techniques to manipulate the stock market and undermine the stock price of individual firms.

And here's a wonderful twist in the tale. On TheStreet.com James Altucher, the employee getting schooled by Cramer, has posted a video "Defending Jim" (presumably Cramer, but also possibly himself).

Only problem: no sound.
