This is probably the most boring season of the Sopranos, but still entertaining.  The season finale was amazing though.  Great acting by Edie Falco.  Loved her performance.

Athe first six seasons had great drama, great plots and of course lots of guns and explosions plus some scenes to settle things down. Then came season 7. Abigail change and a big let down. No more CRU character interplay. Now we just have Jack with a boring FBI. No interplay, cliched script, and faceless actors. The FBI as opposed to professional CTU group function as bunch of dummies and Jack has to work with these morons. They are out of Jack's league and can't keep up with him much less do anything right. I just found this season absolutely boring and formulated and could not see more than episode at a sitting unlike the previous seasons where I could not stop watching. Well I hope season 8 get back to its winning ways because season 7 is just a waste of time. Even the actors look bored.

Season 3 was a bit of a disappointment even though I still watched every minute of it. There were some interesting plot developments, but the season degraded into a soap opera. The problem is that all the main characters are unlikeable. There's nobody to root for. Claire is a ruthless, narcisstic charlatan. Who cares if she's not happy and bored? Her vigil with the activist in the Russian prison, and her dramatic insult of the Russian president were self serving and manipulative. Her insistence on being ambassador was ill conceived and self aggrandizing. (Spoiler Alert) She leaves Frank at the most critical moment. It was all about her.
  Then Frank starts off the season urinating on his father's grave. I assume that is to shock the audience and perhaps solidify his credentials as a jerk. Let's not forget he committed murder twice with his own hands just to get ahead, not to mention ordering a third murder. So if Claire leaves him, why should we worry about him?
  Then Doug Stamper (more spoiler alert) commits premeditated murder for his boss. He's a robot with no conscience. Are we supposed to feel sorry for him because he has to use a cane to walk? So he has a brother with kids. So what?
  Jackie the whip gets married, maybe like a normal person, but no, she has to run back to her former boyfriend before her honeymoon with her apparently decent husband is barely over. I guess he wasn't exciting enough. Jackie is a war hero, thank you for your service, Jackie, but you're not a hero anymore.
  She's not too bright either, throwing a challenge at her debate opponent not having any preparation for the response.
  All the main characters are thugs, manipulators, murderers. None of them are evolving, seeking forgiveness, or even getting their comeuppance. They are just becoming more of their nasty selves, so it's hard to become involved with or care about them, and thus more difficult to engage with the story.
  Season 4 might be interesting if that computer hacker guy (whom a crippled Doug Stamper could inexplicably beat up) comes up with some data connecting Frank with Zoe, and the noose starts to tighten, then we might be on to something. Otherwise worrying about Frank and Claire's relationship is a boring waste of time.

I'm giving this three stars because I liked it very much through the third season, and then the whole thing just fell apart.  I don't know whether the writers changed or what happened but season 4 is a real drag.  I understand this was first released in the early 2000s but the ridiculous story lines that started in season 4 are more than I can be bothered to watch.  It's almost like it's written by people who have never met a gay person or a teenager or -- really -- anyone.  It would be less annoying if the first three seasons hadn't been so good.

Two stars which is only based on the finale. The rest of the season I felt like the writer wasted a lot of time with unnecessary stuff.  Finale was awesome, but I had to give two stars due to the rest of the boring episodes.

I wasted $14.99 on this! It's 80% boring and the rest is good. It's an hour an episode and it should be a 20 min. show. They drag things along too much! I think the whole season could be a two hour movie. This is so out of date the way they stretch everything and then show you something good for one second!

I enjoyed the first two seasons a great deal, and the third was pretty good, but I quit watching a few episodes into this season.  Formulaic, predictable plot lines abound, character development is minimal.

This is my favourite comedy on television, but the 4th season was a disappointment by far. 'The Producers' storyline gets stale after the first couple episodes, it really was like they just gave up for this season and stopped trying. "Coast mode" as someone else described it, fits quite well.

One of the things I love about CYE is that every episode is something new and different, but season 4 definitely lost that comedic magic.

If the new season isn't an improvement over this, I think it's time that they call it quits. But I'm hopeful that CYE's best days are ahead.

I'd say buy every other season on DVD, but skip this one.

I agree with the Amazon review on two points.

First, the Vito story line overstayed its welcome in epic proportions. What should have been a minor subplot in the season became its centerpiece instead (sharing almost equal screen time with Tony's recuperation and lessons learned).

Second, after 5 seasons of significant season finales, the low-key, "so what" episode in Season 6 Part 1 seemed like more of a ploy to dash audience expectations than to craft something of quality. When the "Season 6 Part 1 and 2" plan was announced, the immediate reaction from series fans was to hold out hope for a season 7, season 8, season 9...and my personal belief for the entire 12 episode run of Season 6 Part 1 was that creator David Chase was trying to wean his audience from their stubborn attachment. The fact that Season 6 Part 2 came back with a vengeance supports this.

The one strength of the somewhat tedious story arcs in Season 6 Part 1 is Tony's ongoing "If they perceive you as weak" paranoia, but once again, it's played out in a clumsy manner during his altercation with "Penne Arrabiatta" at Satriale's.

If the Sopranos seasons could be expressed in terms of Rolling Stones albums, this would be "Their Satanic Majesties Request"...some mildly interesting elements that never quite gel into a satisfying whole and only leave us hungry for the hopefully better efforts that follow.

I already saw this season on the now defunct yahoo screen and I bought this on Prime Day without looking at reviews.  The extras suck.  There's a trivia section that was really lame.  I mean who doesn't know the latin motto on the Greendale flag?  Spoiler.. apparently some of the cast members!!  The deleted scenes in total were about ten minutes and didn't add much and the gag reel is.. well, not for me.  I was looking forward to watching commentary by Dan Harmon, but there wasn't any.  Which sucked because I think season 6 was the best of the series.  Elroy and Frankie were really perfect additions and I loved what they did with Chang and Winger.  And they made Britta a bigger focus of the series.  Which is awesome because she's my favorite sitcom character of all time!

Well the series has reached the bottom of the barrel. Bill lost all contact with reality and the story line became a beldame of frantic effort to try to create something new. It would have been better if they had maintained Bill's character as it was in the beginning. I am guessing the writers ran out of ideas and decided to offer Bill on a platter. The concept of publically announcing his involvement with the illegal situation of polygamy from the platform of his new won office and exposing his wives and family to ridicule was simply too unbelievable to imagine. Season five will remain unwatched.

WRT the show, this season got very formulaic.  You know how every show will start, how every show will end, that Sip will be the tough guy with a heart of gold, that he will not succumb to cancer because he is the star, that Diane will deal with insecurities.  No tension.  At least the writers restrained their need to populate this season with strawmen for easy, politically correct homilies.

WRT the CD, no subtitles!  Special features-- forget it.  Incredible.  Even the season one set had subtitles.

I gave 3 stars because at least they got rid of the horrible multi-level menu system where moving the focus from one item to the other caused a 15 second pause for the interface to display a halting animation that was probably intended to look modern.

After reading the first three books in the series and loving pretty much every page, A Feast for Crows was a horrible disappointment.  Others have already said it better, but plot-wise, almost nothing happens in this book.  Oh, you will learn about characters and more characters and the back history of their houses, but nothing interesting actually happens here.  I cannot tell you how many times I fell asleep while reading it.

To add insult to injury, several of your favorite and infamous characters from Book 1-3 don't even make an appearance.  It's hard to imagine what Martin was thinking here.

God help HBO if they try to make this boring book into a 13 episode season.  ONE, MAYBE TWO episodes will suffice.

Don't waste your time or money on this season.  They re-reused stories and footage from season one.  There is not enough new material to make it worth the time.  Also the constant reviewing of what just happened before the breaks (where the commercials would be) is mind numbing and boring.

I was addicted to season 1 & 2 but Season 3 is kind of boring compared to the first two. The storylines go all over the place and it's just not that interesting. I am currently watching episode 6 of Season 3.

This will be my last season watching. The storyline began with Dexter in Season 1 being a good guy, now 7 years later he just kills anyone who gets in his way. Debra now joins in this non sense and is now a killer as well- killing Maria in the season finale to save her brother Dexter from being arrested. Dexter falls in love with a poisonist who he ends up saving from criminal charges on a few occassions- even going as far to kill the woman's father. I mean what is this- this show is just sick now. I used to be able to laugh at this show, but now it's just sick and sad.

I bought over the years all the seasons of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND on DVD and I loved the show, but I must say that this last one was a real disappointment to me. Maybe I expected too much, but other shows like FRIENDS had a really great finale, so why was this one so boring?! At least let Amy get pregnant or add any other "surprise". In my opinion, paying that kind of money for a boring finale and the pilot that I anyway bought years ago was a real waste. Sorry...
