The wait is over (almost). Sopranos, season six, launches this Sunday night on the Home Box Office. Digital cable awards me 400+ channels, but Sopranos is the lone dramatic series that I watch. From what I understand, many others--perhaps some readers--watch The Sopranos too. In anticipation of the big premiere, I've compiled my "Sopranos" awards:

Favorite Episode: Pine Barrens/Long Term Parking (Tie)
Favorite Character, Deceased: Richie Aprile
Favorite Character, Alive: Phil Leotardo
Favorite Line: "Speak!"--Johnny Sacks' preferred method of answering his cell phone
Hottest Mobette: Charmaine Bucco
Favorite Mob-do, Male: Paulie Walnuts
Favorite Mob-do, Female: "Jersey" Danielle (Adriana's FBI friend)
Favorite Season: Season Five

I re watched the season finale of season five. It was one of my favorit episodes, right behind the Chechian in the woods one. It also contained my favorite use of music, Glad Tidings ( from New York City ) by Van Morrison. The best line was from Ritchie Aprille to Beveloqua, " call me if there is ever anything you can do for me." This is the best show on TV and I look forward to it.

daniel u didnt watch Rome? that show was fantastic!

Favorite deceased character: Tony's mom, Livia (wasn't that Claudius's poisonous granny's name in I Claudius?)
Favorite character live: Tony, a blend of Archie Bunker and Sonny Corleone.
Favorite line: "Madonn!" (sp?) everyone's favorite exclamation.
Male do: Silvio
Female dead do: Adrianna's mall head.
Season: whichever had Richie Aprile.

Oh yes,
Hottest mobette: Rosalie Aprile. She's like an Italian renaissance painting
