The Sopranos' ending: What can be learned from a finale...

Many people watched the Sopranos' series finale last night on HBO and a majority of 'em were disappointed by the ending which "cut to black" all of a sudden. They definitely wouldn't "Fuhgeddabout it" as it was discussed everywhere the next day (today). As for me, well, uhm, I've never had a chance to watch a single Sopranos' episode, to tell you the truth. I'm one of the unique individuals who actually ignored it ever since it began a couple of years ago. For sure, it'll be a show to talk about in the years to come and that it's already becoming an iconic American classic all it's own. And that's how it is with other shows that have ran successfully in mainstream America. Most of 'em are already on DVDs (i.e. Entourage, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, The Shield, etc.) some of which have yet to see it's ending on TV. And this is the part where TV land is ripping us off with our hard-earned money. I believe the DVDs should be released when the whole series is completely over - as in OVER! Then that'll do us more justice. Even more satisfying is that they should play reruns of some of these shows on a certain network. With all the channels you can get on cable or dish networks (which is on just about every household today), there should be reason to! Hmm, they should do this ON DEMAND, too. Imagine how wiser we would be to save rather than spending $$$ on a well-beloved series' that's about to have a crummy ending. C'mon people, let's start this trend!
