will you watch tonights Sopranos--Will Bush Co use tonight to pull something

[greenbriar]

Poll question: will you watch tonights Sopranos--Will Bush Co use tonight to pull something

will it be more watched than Kennedy's funeral


more than the mash final episode

more than the Beatles on Ed Sullivan?

[liberal N proud]

1. Don't have HBO

[WiseButAngrySara]

3. Same here! So that means a whole lot of people won't be

watching, and might just deflate the anticipatory numbers of those expected to watch.

[greenbriar]

6. We are having a Sopranos watch party. I am making Lasagna

greebeans with bacon fat and garlic
Salad

Cheesecake


I am expecting 10 people plus hubby and I


am looking forward to it on pins and needles...

[WiseButAngrySara]

17. It sounds like a blast! Grren beans southern style is my

favorite meal, and I'm having that tonight with red potatos and corn bread! I wish I could watch the episode. Have a wonderful evening and fill us in!!!

[greenbriar]

38. wil do...loggin off now to start cooking

I can't wait

[William769]

47. Not according to this poll on lil ol DU.

[MedleyMisty]

2. I don't have cable

I don't watch TV at all.

[WiseButAngrySara]

4. I have cable, but not HBO. ....n/t

[napi21]

5. No, but as for BushCo, I was wondering if Gonzo will resign tonight

just before the no confidence vote tomorrow?

[greenbriar]

7. would be the perfect timing

most of the world will either be watching the Sopranos


or the NBA finals

[incapsulated]

8. Been watching from Day One

I'm not going to miss the Final Day. :)

What exactly could Bush "pull" in a single hour? It's not like millions will be clueless for 24 hours or something, heh.

[greenbriar]

11. as suggested above a resignation or something...

it is nto that we are clueless...


it is that bushy thinks we are\\\


I can not wait to see what happens. I was sad when Bobby was killed. Shocked when Christopher was killed


I hope Silvio doesn't die

[incapsulated]

12. Things don't look good for Sil

:\

I dunno, it's not like the entire country is glued to cable news at 9:00 at night on a Sunday anyway. If they wanted to dump this on Sunday night, it really wouldn't make much of a difference if the Sopranos were ending or not, most people, other than news junkies, wouldn't know until Monday anyway.

[AlCzervik]

27. plus HBO won't pre-empt for Bush--thank the deity.

can't wait to watch it, i have been holding on to theory that Syl is a rat, i'm sure i'm wrong but i guess we'll find out tonight.

[incapsulated]

31. *grasps pearls*

Syl a rat! Shut your mouth!

[AlCzervik]

34. no i shall not! Lol. I know, i'm sure i'm wrong but i can't help it. Also--i think

Syl never actaully killed Adrianna, yes we saw her running and heard the shot but we never saw the actual death.

[incapsulated]

46. I think because the death was shocking enough

We didn't need to see poor Aide with her brains blown out, ick. We never saw that Russian again either, heh.

Maybe he will come back to kill Paulie.

[Mojambo]

9. Never watched it before. Not gonna start now. n/t

[KAT119]

49. Ditto Mojambo:-)))). No interest in crime, violence, murder....UGH!!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Miss the final episode? Fuggidaboudit!! Godda see if Paulie gets his sideburns trimmed.

[greenbriar]

13. Paulie the one guy in Ts crew I can't stand

being the only one left with T


gotta be symbolic or something

[Bitwit1234]

14. I have cable movie channels but not HBO.

bush can talk on regular TV but he can't preempt cable.

[porphyrian]

15. I've only got the most basic cable, and only because it make the internet cheaper.

It would be ten or twenty dollars more without the cable tv.

[DeepModem Mom]

16. Consistent television excellence in a landmark series: I'll be there for the finale, Mr. Chase...

Mr. Gandolfini, all who made "The Sopranos" great.

[greenbriar]

18. I wish it were not the finale

there is so much left to tell

[DeepModem Mom]

21. You're right. Aside from the mob storyline...

Chase is telling the story of four generations. From Uncle Junior to Tony to Christopher to Meadow and A.J., they are in many ways emblematic of their generation of Americans.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

42. ABSOLUTELY!

There really is. There was so much left to be done in my opinion. So many deeper plots and building drama that could've taken place. Instead, we get this rushed series of events that ends the whole series so abruptly. I'm gonna miss them!

I just hope, really hope, that they don't whack Tony. I don't know why, but it would be a complete lack of closure to me if they do, because I'll never be able to feel like that's how it was supposed to end.

[alfredo]

19. the Tony's are tonight, that's what bush's people will be watching.

[NYCGirl]

20. Bush's people wouldn't know from Broadway. Lots of "liberal elite" on Broadway.

I'll be watching Tony Soprano, though.

[alfredo]

22. I'll be watching.

I hate to see it go. Of course Six Feet Under, Rome, are gone too.

[greenbriar]

23. new season of Big Love starts tomorrow

I miss Six Feet Under too

[alfredo]

24. Big love is so sleazy. I love it.

There's always that sense of danger. I wonder what Romney thinks about it.

[MuseRider]

25. Nope, watching the other Tony tonight.

I have been waiting for this years Tony Awards so even if I had watched the Sopranos (never saw a single episode) I would not be watching it tonight.

[greenbriar]

26. which show do you want to win

Rosie says Spring Awakening

[NYCGirl]

28. Personally, I'm rooting for Frost/Nixon and Frank Langella...best show I've seen

this season. But I'll still be watching "The Sopranos."

[MuseRider]

29. I have front row seats

for Spring Awakening in July. It is the show that has made me get up off my ass and finally go where I have longed to go all my life, Broadway. Yes, I am hoping for a win, many wins for SA. The cast recording hooked me long ago and the play is just as important today as it was when it was written I think. Yes, I want SA to take as many of the awards as possible. I am on pins and needles.

Edit: cast recording replaced sound track---D'oh

[JerseygirlCT]

44. Oh thank you!

I'd forgotten they're on tonight!

[MuseRider]

45. You are close to NY

so I think you are getting the Red Carpet on one of your stations but if not go to www.tonyawards.com at 6 PM your time I think and it will be covered there. I was just reading something written by someone who was at dress rehearsal and apparently it is a really good show this year. I heard that the Spring Awakening performance is pretty funny as well as really good. I am so looking forward to this and my trip in a couple of months. Enjoy!

[JerseygirlCT]

50. I'll just say that for me these are the most exciting

as I actually usually know a few people!

[MuseRider]

82. WaHoo! SA took 8!

I can't wait to get there.

[JerseygirlCT]

85. Pretty much cleaned up!

Have a great time!

[DFW]

30. Not possible

We don't get "The Sopranos" here in the German Rheinland,
and I have never seen an episode of it.

I have also never seen an episode of American Idol or Desperate
Housewives.

Incredible as it may seem, I am, despite this apparently severe
cultural deprivation, still able to read and write, and generally
function on my own without a respirator or a cane.

[incapsulated]

33. Hrm.

Didn't see anyone accusing you of cultural deprivation because you don't watch American television but thanks for the update.

[DFW]

39. I have been accused of that, actually

Mostly in jest. I was just commenting on my "no" vote,
as well as hinting that I didn't feel deprived for not
having seen any of that stuff. As Dylan sang in "All Along
The Watchtower," "No reason to get excited."

[greenbriar]

35. get off it...

if'n ya don't like the question, don't join the talk

[WinkyDink]

32. Don't have HBO; don't care, anyway.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

36. I have a "date" to watch it tonight with my oldest son. Can't wait to see how it ends!

I started to watch it 3 years ago, but with HBO on Demand was able to catch the entire series. IMHO, it is one of the best series ever made for tv.

On edit..as to the other Tony's... I stopped watching them years ago after being heartbroken over the very high cost of tickets.

[greenbriar]

41. that is awesome

great family time

[LWolf]

37. I've never watched a single episode of Sopranos.

I won't be starting tonight.

[Blue_In_AK]

40. You are not alone. n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

43. I can't watch.

Tried, with my husband's urging. Cannot do it.

That violence makes me physically ill.

[bdamomma]

48. I will be watching, great acting by some great actors

I am curious to see what will happen, I am curious about AJ.

[TayTay]

51. I've never seen the show

I don't think I should start with the last episode.

It just never seemed interesting to me. This is about criminals. I don't actually care what happens to them, they should be in jail.

[Longhorn]

52. Tony Soprano, Tony Parker, The Tony Awards . . .

I'm watching Tony Parker.

Go, Spurs, Go! :D

[dysfunctional press]

53. i'll DEFINITELY be watching...but it isn't going to set any records...

not enough people have hbo.

[northzax]

54. I say 40 million people. give or take

which wouldn't put it in the top 15, in terms of pure viewers, since 2000 alone.

this really isn't a major cultural event outside the suburbs, I have to tell you. I don't know of a bar in DC that is having a party, (unlike many Sex and the City ones) Frankly, in the circle I run in, most of us massive consumers of various types of media, I don't know anyone who cares. I know people do, and that's fine, but really, don't get caught up in the hype, it's a TV show.

[ISUGRADIA]

55. 40 million...no way

the show averages under 10 million viewers...it will be lucky to break the 15-20 million mark.

[northzax]

66. true,

I was looking at the latest odds on the betting boards. you are much closer, I am sure.

[ISUGRADIA]

67. If HBO was not a premium service I am sure the viewership

would be a lot high and closer to your estimate. As it is, a lot of people, myself included, wait until the DVDs are released to watch.

[ISUGRADIA]

56. are you joking on those questions?

this show is great but it's less than a 5 rating and under 10 millions viewers a week. MASH toped at a 60 rating and something like 75 million watching

[gatorboy]

57. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

That was it? That????

[jannyk]

58. Aaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!!! I don't fucking believe it!!!! Noooooo!!!

I am so fucking pissed!!!!!!

No Spoilers....but Aaaaaarggghhhhh!!!

[ShaneGR]

59. That was confusing....

I smell a movie.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

60. lol!!!!! That had to be the worst ending to any program I've seen! SPOILER

My son wants to look it as if it went black from Tony's point of view and that maybe someone killed him?

[Nay]

62. That's kinda what I thought. SPOILER

Tony bought it. But what a stupid shitty way to do it. Come on. What a disappointment.

[devilgrrl]

68. The camera angle Meadow was shot at didn't seem to match Tony's sightline...

but that may have been the case. He may have been looking at Meadow coming into the restaurant and the blackscreen could be him getting shot. Now that I think of it, Meadow had a look on her face, as if she saw something she didn't want to see. I'll have to watch the westcoast feed to see.

[Doremus]

61. Man that so sucked.

[greenbriar]

63. movie

thats all I gotta say...

better be a movie

[greenbriar]

64. gotta like the phil resolution tho

was pretty good

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

65. Too funny when the FBI guy heard about Phil!!!! I think that was the best part of the

show!Oh that, and the cat staring at Christopher's photo!

[devilgrrl]

69. I was so afraid that something was going to happen to that cat...

did anyone else?

[smokey nj]

70. I did. I was afraid Paulie would do something to him.

[devilgrrl]

71. Doesn't it figure that Paulie was a cat hater?

What a freak that character was.

[NYCGirl]

72. Paulie was scared of the cat.

:rofl:

[smokey nj]

74. What did he call them, was it "snakes with fur"?

[NYCGirl]

75. LOL! Yes, and he believes the old wives' tale about cats taking the breath

from babies.

[smokey nj]

76. My parents believed it too. When my sister had her first baby (who's now 19), they begged her to

get rid of her cat.

[NYCGirl]

78. It's a pretty widespread wives' tale! NT

[smokey nj]

80. I think it is an Italian thing.

[smokey nj]

73. I was kinda hoping he'd get whacked. He got on my nerves.

[devilgrrl]

77. BTW, cute cat in that avatar of yours.

:-)

[smokey nj]

79. Oh thank you! He's my youngest, Peanut.

[devilgrrl]

81. Does he stare at abstract shapes...

that kind of look like Michael Imperioli?

:silly:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

83. I expected Paulie to whack it at any moment! Lucky cat! Tony coming in twice saved it! :)

[B Calm]

84. Stupid way to end a long running series, but I watched it...
