It's never over till it's over" goes the familiar refrain. This time, though, it's truly over for The Sopranos.
The quintessentially American family epic raises the curtain on the first of its nine final episodes tonight. The final aria will be sung June 10. The final scene was filmed in a wholesome family ice cream parlour, in Bloomfield, N.J. and includes James Gandolfini's gangster don and family man Tony Soprano, Edie Falco's pragmatic -- and legit -- mob moll Carmela Soprano and Tony Sirico's immaculately coiffed capo Peter Paul Gualtieri, a.k.a. Paulie Walnuts, a movie buff and debt collector given to saying things like, "I was born, grew up, spent a few years in the army, a few more in the can and here I am, a half o' wise guy."

I can honestly say I haven't watch a single episode of any of those shows. Well I did watch 24 once. It was alright.
The only Big 3 drama I'm following is Jericho and that's just ok.
Happy Easter to you to.

It odd how writers of successful shows start to run those shows into the ground as they get close to the end of the series. It’s almost as if they have contempt for the very thing that brought them success.
The quintessentially American family epic
Well, you have to understand, it’s a NEW JERSEY family, lol.
Can you give me the condensed version of what happened in the finale?
THe scene of little Clare in her big bed, an old lady, alone with her pics just did me in.
Deadwood is awesome.
WHitaker is a genius actor,,I don’t think I have ever seen a better depiction of an obsessed person,,just amazing.
So is mine.
Great series.........I'm hooked.
Very sorry to hear it's ending, but at least I have many unseen episodes to keep me going for a long time.
I guess it would be futile to explain to you that cable TV is not "broadcast media".
the Shield, would be banned for showing our brave policemen as corrupt and violent
That's why they call it "television" and not "reality".
You're either a troll or a blithering idiot.
Last epi of Six Feet,,,Everyone died! A series of deaths, mostly in the future,,it was a real tearjerker.
It’s painful to watch.
You need to move on to Season 1, Episode 2.
There is an...'altercation' with a surprise outcome, which I believe will set the tone for the whole season. If the rest of the episodes are as good as the first, it will be a fitting ending for what was once the best show on TV.
I really, really don't want to post this. Taken out of context, the scenes lose their emotional impact. If you must proceed, however, then here it is: The last six minutes of the series.
Oh c’mon,,who gets offed?? I can hardly wait. And the SHield is on right after Sopranoes,,no sleep here tonight.
“I agree that some of the content of the stuff being put out this day and age is beyond the bounds of decency, but I refuse to follow some taliban-like edicts from a radical religious fundamentalist with delusions of forcing everyone else into his/her chosen lifestyle. Government intrudes into my life enough as it is. I don’t need any more intrusions.”
I consider myself a religious fundamentalist, but I agree with you about government intrusion. TRUE religious (Christian) fundamentalists believe in the free will of man, and less government.
WOOW !!! now you got me hooked. How about a little hint?
“Best Sopranos parody ever”
