Noteworthy Television This Week: Sopranos Start a Swan Song

Battlestar Galactica Marathon (Sunday, 6:00 p.m., WPXN 31) Five episodes of not the recent revival, but the camp Lorne Greene and Dirk Benedict show from 1978.

The Frank Sinatra Show: Welcome Home Elvis (Sunday, 8:00 p.m., NJN) Elvis and Frank sing duets of Witchcraft" and Love Me Tender in this episode of his 1957 variety show.

The Sopranos (Sunday, 9:00 p.m., HBO) Is there any relevance to the first episode of the final season airing on Easter? Maybe, maybe not. We really don't see them resurrecting the show once it is whacked, well maybe as a movie.

Masterpiece Theatre: The Wind in the Willows (Sunday, 9:00 p.m., WNET 13) Another BBC reinterpretation of a classic.

Entourage (Sunday, 10 p.m., HBO) Carla Gugino is Vince's new agent as the new season starts..

Thank God You're Here (Monday, 9:00 p.m., WNBC 4) David Allen Grier hosts this comedy improv show where actors are put in costume, put through a door, and expected to perform for five minutes without a script. Sounds good on paper, but we think we saw this somewhere else before.

American Experience Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (Monday, 9:00 p.m., WNET 13) The story of the Jim Jones' Peoples Temple and the 1978 mass murder/suicide at the cult's Guyana compound. Don't drink the Kool Aid.

50th Annual New York Emmy Awards (Tuesday, 9:00 p.m.; Thursday 8:00 p.m. WNYE 25) The three hour broadcast of the New York Emmy Awards honoring the best in local television.

Fat: What No One is Telling You Meredith Vieira hosts this PBS special about obesity and its causes.

Judgment at Nuremberg (Saturday, 9:00 p.m., WNET 13) If you have never seen this classic 1961 film about the 1948 Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals, this is your chance to see this classic true courtroom drama.
