Though it is nine episodes from extinction, no one will soon “fugget about” the Sopranos. swan For the better part of the past decade, the hit HBO series has stood out as the network’s flagship show and a modern-day pop culture icon of organized crime meets family values. Unless you’ve been living under a rock in that time, you know the story. Tony Soprano presides over a pair of families, one consisting of his wife and kids, the other … you know the deal. As this landmark series goes off the air, there are still many loose ends that have yet to be tied: Will Carmela find out about the brutal whacking of loose-lipped Adrianna? Will AJ get it together and grow into the shoes of his father? Will the ongoing tension with the New York mafia eventually lead to the spilled blood of Tony or members of his inner song circle? We hope to find the answers to all of those questions over the next nine weeks. For now, it’s time to dust off the cobwebs on As Tony Soprano prepares for his those old DVD sets and take a nostalgic stroll throughout a series that captivated America and brought societal conceptions of organized crime into the 21st century.
