Sopranos Fans Flip

Last night was "The Sopranos" season finale. There aren't any spoilers in the post, but there may be in the links, so if you haven't seen the episode (I understand, I watched the Tonys too) be careful as you read on.

The ending made audiences so enraged that they flooded HBO's website with comments and complaints. And, according to "Deadline Hollywood Daily's" Nikkie Finke, many long time subscribers whacked their cable bill and canceled their HBO. See her review here. LINK

Through all the years of guns, infidelity, and bloodshed, "The Sopranos" has left its mark on more than just television fans. News.com has an interesting take on "The Sopranos" bloody glove it left behind. In this morning's website, they link important moves in the plot with ground breaking developments in the tech world. Here's the LINK. . But you didn't hear it from me.

SFX: Gun Shot.

Cut To: Credits.

You're Mad As What?

This week Isaiah Washington was not asked back for another season of "Grey's Anatomy". Whether it's not asked back, his contract was not re-upped, or was allowed to pursue more creative endeavors, Mr. Washington was fired. But does that give him the right to steal lines from a classic movie? He was quoted saying "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." LINK

Is it right that his views make him unemployable? Is the network playing fair? According to Nikki Finke it's not. LINK

Maybe he can work on "Grey's" producer Mark Gordon's new show "Army Wives". According to "The Hollywood Reporter" the show's premiere on June 3rd, was the highest rated series premiere in Lifetime's history. This signals a major comeback for stars Catherine Bell and Kim Delaney. Kim had her own public relations fiasco in 2002 when she was arrested for drunken driving.

Star Wars: Variations on a Small Screen

May 25th was officially declared Star Wars Day in Los Angeles, and marked the first night in the 30th anniversary and convention of the original film. In that spirit, I thought it behoove me to write about all the great, recent projects Star Wars has produced or at least inspired.

Straight from the House of Lucas comes "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" set to premiere in the fall of 2008. For those paying attention, the series takes place between the Star Wars episodes 2 and 3.HERE

For those looking for something a little lighter and a claymation George Lucas (who still completely rocks his signature flannel shirt), check out The Cartoon Network's "Robot Chicken" tribute "Robot Chicken Wars"HERE. The actual show premieres on June 17th.

Additionally, "The Family Guy" has it's own take on "Star Wars" that was premiered at the convention to a cheering audience. I'll give you three guesses if Stewie goes to the dark side. HIGHLY UNETHICAL LINK HERE

Now if we could only find an Ewok talk show. Oprah would be scared.
