To quote a line from Livia Soprano, the late mother of New Jersey crime boss Tony Soprano on the hit HBO television series "The Sopranos," I assume this is how millions of other viewers are also feeling about how to spend their Sunday evenings after the popular mob drama ends its six season run in about two months.

I didn't officially discover the show until after it's third season in 2001, in which the aforementioned Livia Soprano -- portrayed by the wonderful actress, the late Nancy Marchand -- finally succumbs to a stroke. After watching a few episodes of the series, I recommended it to my wife soon after, and we both became hooked. It wasn't long before we headed out to buy the first few seasons on DVD to catch up, and we've been fans ever since.

On April 8, the first of the planned nine final episodes of the award-winning series aired, and the countdown to the show's grand finale later this spring began. There are so many storylines to wrap up in these remaining episodes, that it will be intriguing to see how series creator David Chase and his talented team of writers and directors conclude one of the most -- if not THE most -- compelling television drama in history.

The show has spawned so many memorable characters over the years, like the wise-cracking wing-haired Mafia captain Paulie Walnuts (one of my personal favorite characters), the senile yet complex mob veteran Corrado "Uncle Junior" Soprano, to Tony Soprano himself, one of the most intricately detailed lead characters and performances to ever be seen on the small screen.

James Gandolfini's portrayal of the complicated mob boss ranks among one of the best in television and film history, and rivals that of Brando, DeNiro, and even Pacino's best work.

"The Sopranos" has also had a major impact on pop culture, from popularizing "Mob speak," to the show's many product placements, to other shows modeling it's plot and character ideas.

Since the show began, there have been countless "whackings," Mob lingo for a murder, and other events that have unfolded that have brought Tony and his crew to where they are today -- at a crossroads after years of infighting. In case you haven't watched, Tony juggles two lives; one as a husband and father of two college-aged children, the other as the head of the DiMeo crime family in North Jersey.

And things haven't been easy for the middle-aged Mafioso, as he struggles to run his criminal empire while at the same time trying to keep both families happy and outsmart the FBI in their repeated attempts to put the squeeze on Tony and his crew. Tony has also dodged the bullet on more than one occasion when attempts on his own life were made.

So it's really no surprise that Tony Soprano has been seeing a therapist for anxiety attacks, a secret that Tony kept for years that almost cost him his life. (This fact didn't set too well with Tony's business colleagues.)

So now, after 78 episodes, it comes down to the final eight, and several questions that remain unanswered will undoubtedly be brought to light soon. What will become of Tony and the future of both families? Where do Christopher Moltisanti's (Tony's nephew) loyalties lie? Who is the next "rat" (FBI informant), if there is one?

Just as Chase and his crew have done for the last eight years, you can rest assured there will be surprises and unexpected twists at every corner. And just like a tagline for the series, "Just when you think you know what's coming next...you don't." This couldn't be more true.

Now, as talk of bringing the series to the big screen lingers in the air, millions of "Sopranos" fans can now watch and wait as answers to the show's many burning questions begins to unfold. And even after the series has ended and the cast and crew have gone on to other projects, will we, the fans, fail to remember the show's entertaining impact on television and society?
