"The Sopranos" (9 p.m., HBO): This season of "The Sopranos" started with Tony getting gunned down by his trigger-happy uncle. By the end of the season, one of his cronies got caned to death for being homosexual. Who knows what's in store for the 12th and final episode of the season? Previews aren't available, of course, but it's a safe bet that Tony's physical and psychic recovery won't be making any giant leaps in this last hour. He's had a tough time, since, in the first episode, his delusionary Uncle Junior shot him while he was cooking dinner. Others, too, took the season hard -- notably, Vito Spatafore, who, exposed among his fellow wiseguys as a gay guy, got whacked. The sixth-season finale, "Kaisha," premieres at 9 p.m. Then the wait begins for next year's airing of the eight concluding episodes of this magnificent series.
"Big Love" (10 p.m., HBO): It's also season-finale time for "Big Love," the controversial freshman series about a family of polygamists that proved to be oddly compelling.

"Big Love" already has been renewed for a second season.
