... Everywhere I turn this week people are talking about the 'Sopranos' finale ...There was a segment about it on just about every newscast I've watched. Even Sportscenter worked in a mention and showed that now infamous final scene with Tony and the fam in a diner as that Journey song and then that sudden fade to black. And of course, it's made all of the late night shows ...
Yeah, yeah, so I watched all of it with a slight bit of interest (and I did read this guy's take, after all ... ) ...
But ...
In my lifetime, I've seen one episode. It was summer 2001. That summer, I was living with a college friend whose family loved the Sopranos. One night that summer (somehow I didn't find anything better to do that night ...), I ended up gathered around the TV with them to watch the season finale, or the season premiere, I'm not sure which one. We had food, drinks; it was like a Super Bowl party. This much of the show I remember: Someone got whacked, and it was some of the most boring, uninteresting, uninspiring TV I've ever seen. And I've never had any urge to see an episode of the show since ...
So it was nice to know I wasn't alone the other night when I saw a news poll that had about 60 percent of people saying they didn't watch or didn't care about the 'Sopranos' finale ...
Cagle's has some great Sopranos cartoons; these two are my favorites ...
