time to face the music

One of the funnier lines in "Knocked Up" involved a character who said he was breathing like James Gandolfini. There was plenty of cause for heavy breathing on last night's episode of "The Sopranos." Tony hasn't been whacked yet but there's still a good chance for that to happen in next week's finale. It makes sense to me that the story of Tony Soprano should end with the character's death.

I watch "The Sopranos" even though it's not one of my favorites. But it is one of those shows that people (like my friend Terry Morrow) love to talk about, so I try to keep up. I don't have any sympathy for the characters, who are mostly murderous villains. The food on the show doesn't appeal to me either. "Gabagool," although probably delicious, sounds less than appetizing. Even Tony couldn't finish his and threw it in the trash after a couple of bites last night. Without spoiling anything, let me say that I must show some respect to the incredibly well done cinematic sequence in the toy train shop. I watched it several times at regular speed and in slow motion.


This morning on both "Live with Regis and Kelly" (with sub Bryant Gumbel) and on "The View" (with sub Kathy Griffin), the hosts were anxious to talk about the mob characters who were killed off on last night's show. The "View" women thought that Tony would survive the finale to be in a "Sopranos" movie someday. I'm sticking with my prediction that they will finish him off.

Kathy Griffin looked like she might have had a little more work done to coincide with the tomorrow night's season premiere of "My Life on the D-List." Earlier this year I saw a red carpet photo that made me think Kathy had found the world's greatest plastic surgeon. She looked better than ever. Then I read the caption and discovered that the woman in the photo was actually Kate Walsh from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice." Oops.

Morning Frank!
I giggled at your mistaking Kate Walsh for Kathy Griffin... cracked me up! But I can see how it happened. I'm going to Tivo The View today because Ross the Intern is going to be a guest. Can't wait...
