    Sucked. Unless you liked watching it the past 2 years, then it might have been ok for you. Literally, my wife and I have watched it for the last 2 years waiting for it to get better. Should have ended it years ago. I remember this years countdown "thank God, 3 more episodes, end it already, thank God, 2 more episodes, end it already, thank God, the last episode, end it already and finally, thank God that crap is over. No more waiting for it to be the older Sopranos that was so damn good.

    The whole finale was like watching any other episodes with a few touches here and there to try and close it, then leave you not knowing what really happens. One can assume AJ is better, Meadow gets married and life goes on and usual (Tony getting subpeoned, etc).

    Rumor is a movie is coming, which explains the bad ending, but since Sopranos already has wasted my time with roughly 30 or 40 hours of bad shows (remember the "artsy" season where you didnt know what was going on?) I wont pay a DIME to see, maybe bootleg it so I feel better about it.

    Odd, Deadwood was ROCKING Sopranos the last couple of years and other great shows on HBO in a different genre like Entourage have majorly entertained and made me laugh. Six Feet Under knew how to do a finale. Was hoping they would learn from it, but egos are hard to overcome. Apparently, they had a bigger "plan".

    I've never watched the sopranos... Its a shame the finale was horrible, i hate when shows end like that.

    If you want to talk about horrible season finales CSI:Miami's was the absolute worst season finale of ANY show that I had ever seen, It was a complete waste of time... 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back and it doesnt at all leave you wondering about ANYTHING. I love(d) CSI:Miami, I like the other CSI's but Miami was my favorite, I was so disappointed and with a finale like that why should I bother to watch it next season?

    Ok now im done with my ranting :) ;)

    I think you did well to watch 30 to 40 hours MA. I watched it once recently, as our resident avid Sopranos fan, Mankind, exudes excitement about the show. Sadly, it wasn't my thing at all and I never watched it again.

    Some will mourn, some will cheer...c'est la vie :)

    I watched about a half hour of one show several years ago and never watched it again, all it was was f this and f that and whack this person etc. Really boring.

    You could have stopped there. You would not get an arguement from me. My wife was so pissed off she was storming around saying things like "What the f*** was that s***?" and she is usually a pretty calm person. I expected it to be lame because of the rest of the season but, what the F*** was that S***?

    zzzzzzzzz

    Probably early years. There is still a lot of swearing, but the problem is the show went "artsy" if you will. Its a mob show. You swear, lie, rob and whack people and eventually you get your own. Casino and Wiseguys are excellent examples of this. Instead, they got all high and mighty trying to teach us a lesson that we are mainly supposed to figure out ourselves according to all the debate over what things mean, including the finale. Many of us are saddened because we hang in there the past couple of years and now realize they either want to make a movie, or didn't care what we thought.

    Ditto with CSI: Miami, big fan, the finale I was unaware was the finale until it was not on next week. But, they consistently write entertaining shows, and it returns next year, so I won't hold it over them.

    It' went like a lot of series, i.m.o. First season was not bad; the second - watchable; after that, pretty much the same over exploited, over-milked crud, i.m.h.o.

    Had the same happen with Stargate, Star Trek Gens., etc.

    I agree. Early Sopranos was the best.. I didn't much care for the Picaso season either. This last season, I thought was better and started to head in the right direction,but I was completely .. COMPLETELY pissed off at the ending. What a joke.

    It was a decent show till they changed writers a few years back .
    the last two years were boring as He** .. I thought something spiked my TV at the end last night . What a Rip off .
