As most people know, one of the most influential shows on TV has come to an end after 6 seasons. In my opinion, it certainly did not end in a bang. The ending simply consisted of Tony Soprano sitting with his family in a restaurant. The screen suddenly went black, and the credits rolled in silence.

Perhaps I have to watch it again to try to make some more sense of it. The series however, ended exactly how it began. It started with Tony Soprano just living his life and trying to figure things out, and it ends exactly the same, with him just living his life.

It has been one of my favourite shows, so I am sad to see it end. I guess there is still hope for HBO’s Entourage, which has also made its way into my TV watching schedule.

Last night I decided to see what movies were available on TMN On Demand and decided to watch Sidekick. At first I was a little bit reluctant to watch the movie because the plot line didn’t sound all that interesting, but it turned out to be a pretty funny movie.

Mild-mannered computer consultant Norman Neale has two great loves in this cruel world: Comic books and his office’s effervescent main receptionist.

The movie is about Norman trying to train a normal person who has super powers, in order for him to be able to become their sidekick. Unfortunately for him, things go very wrong. The movie lends itself well for a sequel.

On another note, the series finale of The Sopranos airs tonight at 9pm on TMN. I can’t wait to see how it ends. It’ll be very interesting to see how they tie up all of the loose ends. I haven’t posted anything about The Sopranos so far because I’ve been waiting until the very end to comment.

I just wanted to quick point out that the Sci-fi Channel is offering a pilot of “The Amazing Screw On Head” on their website.

This is a big step for a television channel. Usually they are reluctant to post anything online, because they feel that it lowers their ratings. However, this is not the case. By posting this pilot, it may raise their ratings, and give them some useful market research. Once you finish watching the pilot it asks you to do a quick survey. It takes about 30 seconds to do. I really suggest you watch this show. It is very entertaining and has good voice actors such as Paul Giamatti and David Hyde Pierce.

Enjoy.
