Sopranos are done until 2007.
What? There's more? I thought this last season was...the last season.
I've never watched the show, but I hear things.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Deadwood over.
Deadwood is airing season 3 this summer, AFAIK.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There are eight more episodes left of "this season" which will air NEXT year. Pretty silly, mind you. But there it is. When Rome and the Sopranos return, I'll re-up for HBO. And hopefully get it at an introductory rate again.

Now I'll have no problem whatsoever cancelling HBO until next year.
We do this every season for HBO (Sopranos) and Showtime (The L Word).

What the crap? That's a hell of a fucking long midseason hiatus. And the episodes are already in the can, aren't they?

I dropped HBO and Showtime like hot potatoes when Dead Like Me and Carnivále were cancelled within a few months of each other.
Haven't really regretted the decisions, either.

I got a deal on my digital cable when I moved last month, so I have HBO for the first time ever, but only for four months. And, considering how much I'm watching it, I'll be sure to drop it after those four months are done, even though I did enjoy taping the uncut version of Band of Brothers from HBO On Demand over the weekend (my original recordings were from the History Channel reruns, complete with commercials and missing all instances of "fuck").

That's a hell of a fucking long midseason hiatus.
Not for a show that goes 15-20 months between seasons. For them, 6 months actually is a brief hiatus.
I think the people who subscribe for particular shows are exactly why they're holding those final episodes for next year. It gives them one more chance to hook people on something else.
Plus, they run their shows in paired blocks -- Sopranos & Big Love both ended last night. Deadwood & Entourage start next weekend. If Sopranos runs for 20 episodes instead of the usual 12, their whole series schedule would be staggered as a result.
