OK, so the finale sucked.  I noticed that the writers for this episode were the original creators.  From what I can tell they are not the regular writers.  That is just to say that the writing for this episode was just awful.  The last show was just a miserable failure.

That aside, I am grateful for the show.  I have noticed how conveniently so many bloggers complain about this show.  (See Malcontent for a sampling.)  But, in the end, I know we will miss it.

Nothing has even comes close on television.

I distinctly remember back in 1998 reading in a magazine about this upcoming, groundbreaking, new show.  Unfortunately, I was the real Will Truman at the time.  I worked for a big NYC law firm, and there was never a Thursday night that I was home from the office before 10 p.m.

It was only when I moved to Seattle years later that I was able to enjoy the show as part of the exteneded happy hour at the Manray.  I can tell you that the Gays were so happy to receive the show.  Laughs were perhaps exaggerated, and I think everyone was simply glad to have 30 minutes to see some part of their lives and humor reflected.  It was somehow validating.

Besides that, it was just funny.

Although I love my TV, it really doesn’t deserve to live.  Just one more day, please.  I need to watch LOST.  Finally new episodes.

(As seen on The Wooster Collective.)

For a limited time, ABC is offering free streams of some of its hits shows.  Through June 30, 2006, you can watch Desperate Housewives, Lost, Alias and Commander-in-Chief at no charge.  Of course if you had TIVO you could do the same.  Otherwise I think they are charging suckers $1.99 a show to download to their ipods.

Just in time for me though.  I missed last week’s episode of LOST.
