Summation from Denver Post - (Non-Mob) syndication usually requires 100 episodes, I believe there were 86 in the series, and 2 ea. 2-hour episodes will be forthcoming for closure.

Why should a finale of program like the Sopranos be any less of a rip-off, than say, M*A*S*H* or Seinfeld - they sucked!

Best finale ever - Newhart - with Bob waking up to Suzanne Pleshette, rather than Mary Fran - Ending line something like, "I think you should wear more sweaters." Dream sequence a parody of St. Elsewhere's, (autistic) Timmy's looking at the snow globe. It was all in his head.

In conclusion, re: The Sopranos - you dealt w/ hoods, you was robbed...
