Hit cable television show "The Sopranos" will continue for a sixth season, which will be its last, leaving the HBO show with enough episodes for a very lucrative syndication deal, The New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing "Sopranos" executive producer Brad Grey.

Yeah, Nate's wife got on my nerves.. was way too much like Ruth. BTW, don't you all just love the new houseguest/employee?! Why do I think "serial killer", LOL.

Just when I thought I was out......they pulled me back in.

I always wanted to know what happened to the Russian that escaped from Christopher & Paulie Walnuts out in the snowy NJ woods!

Hubby and I kept waiting for that Russian to show up in a new episode, but so far hasn't happened. The way Tony let Paulie know that any fallout was his to deal with, it sounded like a perfect set up for a follow up episode. I'm STILL waiting for that guy to find his way out of the pine barrens.

Please show me where JG has a brother. I can't find any info.

I have met Buzz & he is pretty intense. What was his reaction?

[cmsgop]

Ahh... the Intern. He is one to keep an eye on for sure.

[Rummyfan]

Ah who cares? THE SOPRANOS jumped the shark in the second season.

[cmsgop]

Intense!!!

[cmsgop]

I don't think it has "jumped the shark" yet.

[jern]

best show on TV

[Feiny]

Hahahaha I asked him about that and he just smiled. He is a striking man (pun intended).

I thought "Piker" was the name of the band. Are you saying it's not?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I heard Merv Griffin ask Jose Feliciano if he watched much TV. Then I watched him wet his pants, apologizing.

He doesn't have a brother:

Modern English is probably best remembered (if it is remembered at all) for its great radio single "I'll Melt with You," which stands with Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby," New Order's "Love Vigilantes," and Duran Duran's early hits ("Girls on Film," "Rio," "Hungry Like the Wolf," etc.) as one of the most enduring songs of the early '80s English synth-pop movement. In fact, the band was much more than a one-hit wonder, releasing a series of great albums throughout the '80s, and though it never achieved the stature of Duran Duran, Modern English was one of the seminal outfits of the English new wave. The band's genesis came in the historic English town of Colchester, where three friends -- vocalist Robbie Grey, guitarist Gary McDowell, and drummer Richard Brown -- were inspired by the Sex Pistols to start their own band, which they dubbed the Lepers. Within a year, keyboardist Steve Walker and bassist Mick Conroy had joined and the band became known as Modern English and moved to London to seek its fortune. It was rough going at first, as Modern English was unable to garner any interest among the big English record labels. But then the fledgling 4AD took notice and signed the band, leading eventually to the release of Modern English's 1981 debut, Mesh & Lace.

Here is a link that makes mention of the event with a photograph, but I don't see anything about James Gandolfini's brother being in the band - not saying he isn't (by a name other than Gandolfini, or maybe he got the gig after that stuff was written - who knows?) - so anyway...it's a mystery. : )
