Mob-a-Thon.

The Sopranos Last night saw the beginning of the end for The Sopranos, and in the run-up to that final dive, the Boob Tubers were hosting a "Mob-a-Thon."

On a related note, Alessandra Stanley in the New York Times: "The series lowered the bar on permissible violence, sex and profanity at the same time that it elevated viewers' taste, cultivating an appetite for complexity, wit and cinematic stylishness on a serial drama in which psychological themes flickered and built and faded and reappeared. The best episodes had equal amounts of high and low appeal, an alchemy of artistry and gutter-level blood and gore, all of it leavened with humor." More from Lynn Smith in the Los Angeles Times.

And there's been some massive Sopranos-related pontification going on at the House Next Door, too.

Update: More from cnw at Reverse Shot's blog and Jeffrey Goldberg and Timothy Noah at Slate.
