Singing the Soprano Blues

The Monkey Mama and I recently viewed the last episode of "The Sopranos" currently available on DVD. This is sad, for practical reasons but also nostalgic ones.

We have really enjoyed watching the Sopranos, so on a practical level we are sad that we will now have to wait for the next season of episodes to come out (on DVD). The nostalgic reason is that we started watching the Sopranos when the Monkey was very small and nursing all the time. We couldn't count on a 2-hour uninterrupted span in which to watch a full-length feature film. But we could usually count on the Monkey staying down for at least an hour, long enough to enjoy a reliably excellent episode of the Sopranos.

I keep telling Monkey Mama that watchers of the series on HBO had to wee weeks between epidodes, and months (if not years) between series. It's hard to imagine.
