Who else thought their cable went out last night?

I may be in the minority, but I’m satisfied with the way The Sopranos ended. Its probably the only way that I’d have been satisfied.

Imagine how depressing it would have been if the whole family was shot down in that diner as the final scene. You say you want a bloodbath, but you really didn’t want that.

What if the final scene was Tony waking up, going outside, and picking up the newspaper. Only this time, he’s picking up the El Paso Times and waving hello when his neighbor asks, “How ya doin’ Gary?” Eh, cheesy.

Or worse yet, what if they used the most tired season finale device ever–it was all a dream.

There was no way to make everyone happy with an ending. I think the only way for them not to disappoint is for them not to have ended it. I like how the characters live on. We met them in the middle of their lives and we leave them in the middle of their lives.

I didn’t hate it.

Wow! What a wild Radio Happy Hour this week. Listen to hear:

• A former Iraqi POW reveal he had a torrid love affair with a United States guard!

• The editor of AskMen.com sharing sex tips!

• Vinny Bond reveal his mastery of oral sex!

• A guest reveal Dr. Blogstein’s first name!

All that, plus:

• Which two tabloid mainstays are now dating?

• What should happen to the crazy baseball manager?

• Why did Vinny call 911 last night and get rushed to the hospital?

• And what will become of Tony Soprano?

Oy, okay, so it was more like a 15 second recap. But there was just that much going on!

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday April 24th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Joey G. from The Sopranos will finally make his way to the Radio Happy Hour. If you remember back three week’s ago, the actor best know for portraying the gay mobster Vito Spatafore was scheduled to be a guest but stood us up. We’ll get his thoughts on the final season of the hit HBO show and maybe get him to reveal some gossip from the set. All this, of course, provided he doesn’t no-show again!

Also, back in February, my attorney, Neil, challenged my co-host, Jane, to a karaoke contest. This week, the karaoke grudge match is on! (and the trash talking has been flooding my inbox!)

They’ll each sing one song and will be judged by a panel of three experts –or at least two experts and Dr. Blogstein. The other judges are Britt, from the popular Idol Radio Show, and talent representative Jonathan Clardy.

All that, plus your calls at 646-652-4804 and we’ll be interviewing a candidate for our internship, live on the air!

Join us every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. And if you miss us then, we’re forever archived at BlogTalkRadio. Listening to us will make you feel real good about yourself.

The Sopranos returns tonight for its final nine episodes and I’m excited. Joey G’s confusion of thinking the Radio Happy Hour was a “no-show job” notwithstanding, I will be glued to my HBO at nine o’clock tonight. But why? Has the show been good since 2002?

Every season there are a handful of great episodes, usually involving someone getting whacked. But to get to those, we must sit through several “throw away” episodes in which nothing happens to move the story line along. We endure episode long dream sequences, trips to Paris and other random subplots that just produce more questions rather than tie up loose ends.

Sometimes I feel that I anticipate each season because of all the hype. Have they become better at marketing than they are at making quality TV?

But as much as I complain about meandering story lines and wasted episodes at the water cooler on Monday mornings, I crave a new episode. Its like the girl that teases you and frustratingly strings you along but still you wake up each morning excited to see her because of the hope that today is when she’ll give you the time of day.
