Is it just me, or does anyone else here get overwhelmed with sadness or depressed when it comes to series finales of TV shows? I've always been this way, from Cheers to Home Improvement to Seinfeld to Friends, it's always depressing to see a show that you grew up with go away. Add to it the reality of these actors, who have become family, will no longer be working with eachother. It's extremely sad. Anyone?

Usually with a series as long as Friends by the 5 or 6th episode I am bored stiff and glad that it is over. Saying that when Sopranos ends I could well be gutted. Do you know if The Shield third series is being screened in the States yet? Thats a kick ass show!

| Yeah, I used to be sad about it - then I just stopped watching television except for late night talk shows. |

I just hope when Knight Rider ends it won't be a multiple vehicle accident!
Stay tuned for signature change at 400 posts. |

I am so disconnected from television that I cannot care about any shows on it anymore. I've even stopped watching Conan and the Simpsons (mainly due to lack of any channels in my current residence), but I'm not even keen on new Simpsons episodes. I haven't kept up on new Simpsons since about 1999 or 2000, seeing episodes here and there, and have seen very few half-way-not-completely-worthless episodes since. Conan, however, is still strong as far as I know, whenever I have the rare opportunity to tune in.
I've been under the impression that the Chappelle show was good television based on the one or two episodes I'd seen and some of the skits I'd heard about. I saw the one where they parodied Grand Theft Auto Vice City and thought it was hilarious and a good emulation of the game, too. I was like, "Hell, that's some quality tv, and it seems as though I hear a lot of people talking about it everywhere." Then, last night, I saw a number of episodes on the season 1 DVD, and thought it was a fairly weak show overall, with some great moments scattered throughout. It was too much of the same thing over and over, even the ones that were a little more creative didn't go nearly as far as they could have. I was thoroughly disappointed.

I always feel sad, even when its a show i dont really wacth, (which is most of them, since im never always at home at a particular time).
When i saw the last sex and the city, i was crying. it was horrible. Its more that you know a show like that has affected a lot of people, and as jim says, these peopel have been working, and literally lived together for all these years, and then..then they arent. PLus, you know, with actors, getting work is a problem, and these people ahve had a regular incom for x many years.
I dont know. I find it very sad. :'(
I love you for what I am not,
I did not ask for what I have got.
You will get used to me.
Welcome to your new joy. |

The only TV show I really loved was Different Strokes. I hate Friends.

Some finales are really sad, others are just disappointing.
"Seinfeld"- it was a good idea, Princess Di, the trial, but it wasn't very funny.
"The Wonder Years"- the ending of each episode was a tear-jerker so it's hard to top that. I'm still angry that at the very end when he talked about what happened in the years afterwards, he said that the father died one year later.
"The Golden Girls"- Dorothy got married and left. At the end she kept leaving and then running back in for one more "group hug". Good stuff.
"Roseanne"- A shitty ending. She said at the end that the past season had just been stories she had written and that Dan had really died when he had that heart attack. Dan and Roseanne were a great TV couple, and you'd like to think that they're still going on together forever. It would be like killing Claire Huxtable at the end of "The Cosby Show". |

Wasn't Dan performed by John Goodman? I love that actor. Saw him on the Actor's Studio, and he was really nice and all...

These are works of fiction, and although I never really connected with the medium of television, I still go on crying jags that Mark Twain won't write any more books.

the way i look at tv shows ending is like graduating from high school - you're sad to leave the people there, but the future is brighter than the past - thats how i'm sure these people feel - minus matt leblanc, who's a whore with a spinoff

Yeah, NBC gave him a $15 million dollar advance for a spinoff series. All I can say about that, is for that much money, that show better be fuckin' dynamite.
