Cliffhangers aren't dangling for long... they get resolved the next season.
And have you ever SEEN this show before? Have you ever seen a Season Finale for this show? There are so many storylines that are just simply dropped to never be seen again.
Actually people would probably like it better if Tony just bought some pork at Satriale's at the end. It'd be more obvious "life goes on". This one is a question mark whether he's alive or dead.

stories (the good ones) always have an ending. The Wizard of Oz doesn't end when Dorothy throws water on the Wicked Witch. we find out what happens afterwards. we find out what happens to all the major characters introduced in the story. that is a story.

What happened 'afterwards' to the characters in Frasier after he moves on? What happens to the characters in Seinfeld? What happens to the characters in Arrested Development?
Sometimes there is no ending and it doesn't matter.. or makes the story that much more intriguing.
And speaking of which, talk about a boring finale... the Wizard of Oz? It was all a dream... ugh.
