How did the Sopranos end?

Answer: a big crescendo of nothing

Via Reuters


MONTCLAIR, New Jersey (Reuters) - Whaddya gonna do? After building tension for six seasons over 8-1/2 years, "The Sopranos," one of America's most critically acclaimed television shows, ended on Sunday with nothing more than a black screen. And there was no clear answer to the big question -- would mob boss Tony Soprano sleep with the fishes?

Instead the mobster, who suffers the same worries as the rest of us, even if he gets relief from the occasional murder, finished the show munching onion rings in a New Jersey diner surrounded by a smiling wife and two content kids.

Sure a guy looking like a hit man had entered the restroom behind Tony and might be expected to come back out and kill the entire family, but then the screen went black for about five seconds and that was that. Some fans were disappointed.

TV audiences decline? Not really...

Where have all the viewers gone? - CNN reports that 2.5 million fewer Americans were watching the main TV channels across the pond. However, it turns out that the way ratings are collected is at fault - Nielsen ratings dont measure watching a TV show on your video iPod , for example.
