TV Season Finales

skcin · #1 05-19-2006, 11:09 AM

Everyone happy with their favorite shows' finale episodes? I've already expressed my disgust over Gilmore Girls, sadness over Grey's, and my jubillation over Amazing Race so I won't go into those again. Here's a few more I watched:

SPOILER ALERT!

***IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THESE SHOWS YET, BUT YOU'RE PLANNING ON IT, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!***

Will & Grace: Cheese factor - very high.

But I loved it. It made me laugh, it made me cry. I haven't watched it regularly in a couple of years, but I thought it was great. The first hour (clips & outtakes, mostly) was so-so. The last episode ever was completely unrealistic, but I don't care. It wrapped up all the loose ends nicely & it was cute. The kid thing (meeting in college just like W&G did, then getting married later) was way over the top, but adorable nonetheless.

I teared up a little at the aged W&G (the real aged W&G, not the nightmare she had at the beginning, lol) and it killed me that Karen looked the same. Classic. As usual, Jack & Karen had the best lines & interaction, and Jack inheriting all of Beverly Lesley's money was genius. Loved that Will & Karen actually became more like W&G in the future.

Jack to Karen: "What's the story, drunken whorey?"

Scrubs: Oh, how I adore this little show. It never fails to make me laugh out loud at the TV. Cox & his wife ditching the baby's stuff only to find out that his vasectomy didn't take & she's preg again? Awesome. But the funniest scenes, by far, were the ones where J.D. was trying to get the disco-loving old gay guys off his porch.

"Get out of here, you old queens! Ooooh! Appletini! When did the gays start drinking straight guy drinks?"

Supernatural: Is the dad still possessed? Will one of the hot sons die? Will they ever catch that demon? Stay tuned...

ER: The last few weeks, I'm thinking to myself "I just don't care about these characters anymore." Then they have Samantha's ex come in, kidnap their son, force her to help him escape prison, and injure Luca AND Abby in the process. I actually gasped when I saw the kid in the van, and I didn't think anything on ER could shock me anymore. I only hope they don't have Abby losing the baby next season, I'll be pissed.

Ghost Whisperer: I am so naive & stupid, I did NOT expect them to kill off Andrea. Hubby figured it out right away, but not me. Hell, my mom didn't realize she was dead until I told her.

How I Met Your Mother: So he does end up with Robin? I'm confused. And I HATE that Lilly & whatshisname broke up.

Still to come: Medium, American Idol...I think that's it.

I still haven't wathced the series finale for That 70's Show, but I will this weekend. Did anyone catch Bones? I missed it, can anyone fill me in?

There were so many twists & turns (cue Bob Welch) that it would take a month to explain.

Try going here...

Official BONES website at Fox.com...season 1 finale synopsis

...after you read that, if you have questions, I'll try to answer them.

^ Well, it took me a while to get through it, but I did. So, Brennan's dad's alive, huh? Interesting. Somehow I think there's more to the story - I doubt they were actually bank robbers, if that was it, why would her dad tell her to stop investigating?

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the Alias finale on Monday night, and will have no problem sacrificing an entire season spent watching 24 to watch the Alias finale instead of 24's.

Irina! Sark! Rambaldi endgame! Kickass!

Loved Will & Grace last nite, thought the whole thing was very funny. I'm going to miss them. Grace's big ass in that velour track suit (all the kids are wearing them

) and long, frizzy, greying hair was priceless.

Fell asleep again, during ER, but I think I know whats going on. I'll watch for the repeat in the late summer reruns. Ten o'clock is just too damn late to air a tv show!

I didn't have it figured out either, and when I finally did figure it out (I think she even said, "Am I dead?"), I GASPED and started crying. That in itself is so weird because I really don't have a strong attachment to this show! Anyway, it shocked me, too.

I've liked Aisha Tyler in just about every show I've seen her in (CSI, Friends, Talk Soup). I was kind of shocked that they killed off her character...UNLESS, she's a recurring character that refuses to crossover and sticks around to help Melinda from the "other side".

Yup, that's what I think. Unless the antique shop partnership thing just wasn't going anywhere and they just didn't have enough storyline for her and want to get rid of her completely. But I think her sticking around as a ghost would be cool.

ITA, she's a cool chick. Mark thinks the same thing that you do, that she won't cross over & she'll stay on the show. I don't know how long that could last, though, since Melinda is always urging people to cross over, saying they can't stay. Either way, I'm sure the first few weeks next season will be devoted to Melinda trying to save Andrea's soul from evil laughing no-face guy.

GREAT point!

Maybe Grissom will get tired of Hodges' nose in his butt and get Aisha back on CSI

Grissom doesn't give a **** about anything since HE'S BANGING SARA!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!

How did I miss talking about that earlier? I've only been waiting for a million years. It's the only reason I watch the show.

Jim and Pam kissed!!

And....he told her he was in love with her!!!!!

That was my fave season finale.

I enjoyed seeing the last Will and Grace even though I've not been watching it here lately. ER shocked the frick outta me too.

Luca, Abby and their baby better be okay.

ER - what a nail biter! Loved it! Last week's episode, when Neela's hubby died - I was bawling uncontrollably...but John Leguizamo's antics had me lmao between the tears.

Will & Grace - meh. I was disappointed. I liked the show before the finale better. The montages were very well done! And yeah, "What's the story, drunken whorey?" I emailed Brucie earlier today that I want to start saying that ALL the time now.

That 70's Show - loved it.

Much more satisfying to me than Will & Grace...

The Office! WhatEVER! I screamed! Loved it! I'm a total Jim and Pam shipper!

Amazing Race - said it before, I'll say it again, YAY HIPPIES!!

Survivor - Gaaawd, I'm bored w/ this show. But I'll watch the next season - they really need to change things up.

The OC - wow, didn't see that one coming either...

And since it's sweeps time, the Young & the Restless has been fantastic all week!

Dayum, I watch a lot of TV. I'm kinda glad most of my favorite shows have wrapped up - I need to get out more!

Well, great ...thanks for spoiling THAT.

I haven't watched last night's episode yet, since I was watching the W&G finale.
