I'm not exactly a die-hard TV watcher, mostly sporting events, music or motorcycle shows. I just think that most of the shows on today are just slightly edited templates of former shows, especially the "Reality TV" shows, just all too cookie-cutter. It's hard to find shows that are truly original, not to mention worth giving up precious moments of my life to watch.
The Sopranos breaks that mold. I have been a faithful, devout viewer of the show ever since the first season. I have seen every single episode of every season at least once, some of them numerous times. Tonight will be the first episode of the final season and I'm racking my brain to figure out what's going to happen. I made the mistake of reading the previews of the first episode on MSNBC.com, and I doubt I'll read any more since I'd rather just watch and be surprised.
It's hard to figure how the series will end, what with all the strange twists of fate in the previous season (coulda gone my whole life without the Vito situation). Last time we saw, everything seemed to rather calm and tranquil, Meadow moving west to marry Finn, AJ is dating a hispanic single mother 10 years his senior, Phil in the hospital after his heart attack, Johnny Sac wasting away in the pen, Paulie frustrated by the recent findings about his mother/aunt as well as prostate cancer, and Christopher's relapses into drug abuse. Will Adriana crawl out from the woodwork? This show has twists and turns than the Dragon's Tail in Tennessee.
There is one thing you can bet your bottom dollar on though - you'll have a hard time reaching me between 8-9pm on Sunday evenings for the next 8 weeks. That is, unless you want to come over, where you'll find me in my living room glued to the TV.
