Lou: My Uncle Tony Santo, an Italian through and through, was dying of cancer the past few years. He passed away about 8 months ago. Wonderful man. His son, (my first cousin) Barry bought him an entire season of the Sopranos on DVD for Christmas 2 years ago. Hey - we are all from Jersey. They are Italian.My uncle gave it back to Barry. He didn't like the way it portayed Italians. Or the cuss words.I'll buy that. By the way, Tony, (my Tony), I love you!

That being said, I think The Sopranos is the best show ever on TV. Ever. It is not about Italians, it is not about the Mafia. It is not about Tony Soprano.

It is about us. And I think the last episode illustrated that point beautifully.

Yes, when it went blank, I jumped from my chair too.Make up your own ending. So many subtle things, it was brilliant.
