Description:
Last year, Tony Soprano cheated death when he was shot by his now institutionalized Uncle Junior. While Tony continues to muse about his second chance at life, he faces a myriad of immediate, stress-inducing crises at home, at work and from the law. Tony's wife Carmela plans for a future she's not sure will arrive, and son AJ and daughter Meadow find that adulthood holds its own surprises. Meanwhile, at work, Tony comes to doubt the allegiances of many of those closest to him ¿ no one, not Paulie, Bobby, Silvio or even Christopher is above suspicion. The clock is ticking. Time is running out. But on who?
Amazon.com:
Completing the run of one of the most acclaimed television shows in broadcast history, season 6, part II of The Sopranos will be remembered mostly not for what happened during the season, but for what didn't happen at the very end. Creator David Chase pulled off a series ending that was as controversial as it was surprising and unforgettable, leaving countless fans to look away from the show and to blogs and articles for answers to the biggest mystery since "who shot J.R.?": what happened to Tony Soprano? But before we get to that point, there are nine episodes to digest, and they are some of the best in the run of the show since season 3. As Tony's (James Gandolfini) paranoia and suspicions grow, his family makes choices that are threatening to bring big changes to his personal life, and his other "family" is crashing headlong towards an inevitable showdown with Phil Leotardo and the New York crew. Episode 1, "Soprano Home Movies," starts off peacefully enough with Tony and Carmela (Edie Falco) enjoying a relaxing summer weekend at Bobby and Janice's (Steve Schirripa and Aida Turturro) bucolic lake house, and by the end of the episode Tony has effectively taken Bobby's soul, proving Tony's ruthlessness and ending any doubt about his will to maintain dominance over those around him. In "Kennedy and Heidi," one of the season's signature episodes, Christopher's (Michael Imperioli) drug use continues to spiral out of control, forcing Tony to take matters into his own hands and resolve things with his nephew once and for all.
Inevitably it's all leading up to that big finale, and it's deftly handled over the last two episodes, "The Blue Comet" and "Made in America" (an episode replete with subtle references to The Godfather). Things finally start to get resolved with Phil's crew, Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese), A.J. (Robert Iler), and Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), and as for Tony… Cut to black. To quote from another hit HBO show of the same era, "everything ends," even The Sopranos, and while the way Chase chose to end The Sopranos may not be to the liking of fans hoping for a definitive resolution, give the man credit for not stooping to clichés or tired old scenarios. As A.J. says in one of the last lines of the entire series, quoting his father, "Try to remember the times that were good." That's good advice. --Daniel Vancini

My father was so excited to get this video for his birthday. My mother purchased the first five seasons but could not find season 6 for less than $85.00. I found it on Amazon much cheaper and it was brand new! The item shipped quickly and was received within days of my order. I have just ordered another item from Amazon and I will continue to use Amazon for Holiday and Birthday Purchases. So far I have always received top quality merchandise from Amazon.

5-star show with 3-star packaging. Extras include "The Music of the Sopranos" and "Making of Cleaver"? Really. Gimme a freakin' break! That and putting two episodes on an entire DVD is, to paraphrase a poor song, "They Hardly Work for the Money".
Other than that, a good TV show. As PT Barnum said, "Always leave 'em wanting more!" And this show did just that. Way better than a lot of other excellent series have ended.

I held off for a while on buying this season. The sticker price is a bit high considering its only 8 episodes. Every 2 episodes I had to get up and switch the DVD out. I got it used and still feel i over paid only considering how many episodes came in this *cough* season. Regardless it was a great season far better then 6 part 1. The ending was ruined for me because I never saw this on TV so being such a hit everyone talked about it. Even so I was still disappointed to see the series ended. As a fan its worth getting if you can justify the price.

The final season of The Sopranos is a satisfying end to a fantastic television series that has captured my interest for nearly a decade. This show was the reason I subscribed to HBO and Sunday nights at 9 pm were a sacred hour when this show was on. While I am well aware of the criticism that the series finale drew for its abrupt end; it certainly is not a bad episode and it is much better after a second viewing. The season as a whole contained many gripping story arcs and once again the writing is top notch. Over the years I have developed a liking towards many of the characters; therefore, it was sad for me to see this show conclude and see the demise of many characters I have grown to like. I equate the first half of the show as a farewell tour that sets up the plot for the riveting second half which crosses the Rubicon in terms of war between the two families. The last five episodes of this show are among the best in the series' history but the true gem of the bunch is the penultimate episode The Blue Comet. I equate that episode to DEFCOM 1 as an absolute state of emergency ensues for the Soprano crime family. I was on the edge of my seat during much of that episode due to the fact that I didn't know what would happen next. I recommend purchasing this series on DVD simply it has a lot of replay value. I have watched this show countless times in comparison to just about everything else in my DVD library. I have found that re-watching this season on DVD to be more enjoyable ... Read More
