Today is the anniversary of when the legendary TV series, The Sopranos debuted on HBO. The premiere episode aired 22 years ago on January 10, 1999.
The show was a huge hit and it ran for eight years. The last episode was aired on, June 10th, 2007.
It was a controversial ending to the series and I remember watching it and couldn’t believe that they ended the series that way and I didn’t get it. Truthfully, it still makes me wonder and so today I thought I’d post six links about this ending of The Sopranos that caused so much talk after it aired. And if by chance you’ve been under a rock and didn’t see it, I’ve also got a video link to that infamous closing Sopranos scene.
And of course, then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions!
