I'm having SOPRANOS Withdrawal Symptons !
In the last couple of months having never seen a Sopranos episode before, i have gone through all of Seasons 1-5
Now i need more!
Awesome show with many highlights
Most disappointing killing was Ralph - great character, should have kept him around.

I think there was a copy cat murder carried out by kids, who watched The Sopranos and then killed their mother in the same way Ralph was killed on that show...
TV is a bad influence on sweet, vunrable kids!

I had that same withdrawl. The first three seasons, I didn't have HBO so I watched on video three episodes at a time. When S4 came around, I subscribed and it took me a while to accustom myself to one episode a week. Almost two years between S5 and S6 hasn't helped.

Since I haven't had any new episodes to watch in what seems like a decade, I have to say my withdrawl from the show is pretty much gone. I've went from being a HUGE fan of the show to basically not really caring if it even comes back at all.

I know the wait is hard, but there are other shows to fill the void while we're all patiently waiting. Plus, we got promos to look forward to in December and January, which are always visually appealing.

I'll most likely watch when the new season starts up, but for right now I don't care at all.
Edit to add: Plus I'm still dealing with the after affects of that horrid dream sequence episode which is sticking in my brain like the memories of an awful car wreck. I think I'm suffering from PTSD from that one.

Since there is such a long wait for each season, it has actually tempered my anticipation. When the first few seasons ended in March and then started up the following January, it was perfect. Just enough to build anticipation, and not too much to dilute it. Then it was a year and a half between seasons, and now two years.
Yes, I will watch it when it starts back in March, mostly because most TV shows are awful these days, and it is still the one of the best shows out there. But I have definitely seen a quality drop after season 3. Hopefully these last 20 episodes will be the last year, so it will go out with dignity.
P.S. - If David Chase knew he was going to have 6 seasons, rather than his original plan of 4, I don't think he would have killed Big ***** in Season 2. He may have dragged that out a season or more. To lose him, and unfortunately Tony's Mom really hurt the show.
