Favorite series finale...

Newhart and MASH

[DakotaCelt]

I also found some interesting LOST slash fiction on line, coupling Jack with Sawyer.

I have seen some bizarre slash fiction on fanfiction.net and not only on LOST....

I am not surprised to see that on Lost but it is unusual for soaps to slash fiction...

However, with that being said, I have seen some very graphic fanfictions relating to the some of the soaps that would qualify for porn

I don't know that I ever stuck with any long running show long enough to see the finale, except maybe NEWHART, which I did think was funny at the time, but I remember very little about.

Is that because you didn't watch the original Bog Newhart show?  I think that was the best & funniest ending of any series.

Most other shows I liked simply got canceled and never had an official "finale" or the "finale" was nothing special, it was just like any other show.

I married Dora had a funny ending to the abruptly canceled show while informing the audience they were canceled.

I did not like the last episode of Seinfeld.

THE FUGITIVE was great, and possibly the first series to wrap up the storyline.

Just as DR CILLA LIZ wrote - I didn't want LOST in the past couple of season either - so the commercial laden preview was a great help to me.....the SHOW part...NOT the commercials part....

I enjoyed the last episode although it shore wuz my-tee long! 

And the difference between Matthew Fox'x speaking voice and his "Jack" voice was interesting.

I record shows like the LOST stuff last night and start watching about 30 min to 1 hour into it...then I can zip past all the commercials.  Whenever it was all commercials, I switched to my recording of Celebrity Apprentice.  Sounds goofy but it worked

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JEANNE!!!!!

[Cillaliz]

It is also the birthday of HWHC.  Meow!

[Jeanne]

Thank you, Dakota. Nice to see you here.

[Jeanne]

Thank you, Cilla. It is also the Queen's birthday. I believe that actually refers to the late Queen Mother, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Cillaliz]

Doesn't anything spoil in six months?

My Juusto Cheese says it will keep in the refrigerator for 9 months

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

<poof!>

[MBarnum]

DR Jeanne, have a fantastical birthday!

[MBarnum]

DR Jane, I remember what happens in the NEWHART finale, it is just that I don't recall what I thought of it at the time. I am not sure if it was a total surprise to me, or if I already know what was going to happen when I saw it (had read as spoiler or first saw it as a rerun, or something).

I do think it was a wonderful finale idea and since I don't really have a favorite finale, that should be the one.

[Jane]

DH has a knack of finding old and forgotten telly shows...

He found Bruce.. on Tabatha...

Bruce, why didn't Tabatha twitch her nose like she did when she was a little girl?

[Jane]

Favorite series finale...

Newhart and MASH

Mash was good, sad but good.

[DakotaCelt]

It was sad but well written.

There have been some series finales that have been real clunkers

[Jane]

It is also the birthday of HWHC.  Meow!

Happy birthday to HWHC as well.   I think he needs a kitten.

I still laugh when I see it.  I began laughing as soon as I saw the sheets.  Keith needed Bob's wife to look up before he began laughing.  It's a shame if you had read a spoiler.

[Cillaliz]

It is also the birthday of HWHC.  Meow!

Happy birthday to HWHC as well.   I think he needs a kitten.

LOL!! No, I wouldn't do that to the kitten.

[DakotaCelt]

I suspect we are about to have a wild night weather wise... Grand Forks 69 degreess and FArgo 90 degrees...

Distance between the two... 75 miles...

Needless to say the front is coming our way... Oh Joy!

[Cillaliz]

It's 93 degrees here, but not that much cooler anywhere near by.  It's VERY windy here, 40-50 mph again

[Jane]

Happy birthday to HWHC as well.   I think he needs a kitten.

LOL!! No, I wouldn't do that to the kitten.

DR Cillaliz, I do sort of what you do re: the DVR. I never watch the commercials. Even if it is a show i am watching "live" i will start 15 minutes later, which is what i did last night.

[Danise]

Hello all and a very special and Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to DR DR Jeanne!

[Jennifer]

re: DR Druxy's spoiler LOST post from last night.  I'm not saying that it was done intentionally. And DR Michael Shayne's request was probably missed, but I don't think it's right to put the main LOST finale spoiler in a post without any spoiler space given (this was fixed after DR Jose mentioned it).

The show ended at 11:30pm with work for many the next morning.  So many people record things. I appreciate that the post was modified, but that is just my 2 cents.

[Jennifer]

DR Cillaliz who are you cheering for on DANCING WITH THE STARS?

And who do you think will win?

[Danise]

I have to say that I enjoyed LOST and am very sorry to see it go.   

I kinda got "Lost" in the 5th season because I wasn't able to watch the show because of other matters that were going on in my life at the time.   

I felt the same way with UGLY BETTY, which I also missed, but thank goodness for DVD's and Netfilx!  I will just catch up on what I missed and rewatch the last seasons so I'll be able to understand things a bit better.

[Danise]

I think one of my all time favorites will always be BABYLON 5.    Watching it the first time was a joy but going back and watching the whole thing all over again, knowing how it ended was even better because I was able to see the clues I missed along the way.   Things that made no sense to me the first time around took on new meanings and I could have kicked myself for not picking up on them.

I think LOST will prove to be the same way.

And I don't look at it as time lost (no pun intended) but I also feel like watching them again will be like going back and rereading a beloved book.  Lord knows, I've read DUNE many times and manage to pull something new out of it each time while I enjoy "visiting" with Paul and all my old friends again.

I have to say i loved the entire episode. But hated hated hated the ending. I also wished we could have had one more scene between Libby and hurley, and especially penny and desmond. I found the island ending satisfying. But really disliked the sideways ending. How on earth could they say that fans would be happy???

Once again dear friends into the breach. Now is the hour of our discontent.  sljkl;jklk ;j;lkja;lkjdf;lkjasd;lfkj ;lkjasdfThey gave "fans" more than enough material to sort it all out.  Resolution was attained (although "why" it was what it was and what happened after Jack died will forever be a mystery, I guess).   The sideways ending wasn't an alternate to Jack's death...it answered everything about why there was a "sideways"...it wasn't an alternate anything...it was all the characters living the lives they might have lived had they not crashed in the plane...but it wasn't "reality"...it was a waiting room, of sorts, until all had played their parts in the drama. I now know that Desmond knew this when he arrived on the island as Charles Widmore's "prisoner".  Desmond's attitude toward SmokeMonster/John Locke was of a man who was certain that Monster/Locke had no power over him.  He knew exactly why he was there and what he must do.  Desmond seemed to have had a "flashforward" vision into what would happen.   As for the "unhappy fans", I'm very leery of those who put too much energy into "willing" things to happen that the creators never intended to happen.  It's like saying certain "fans" ought to be dictating the outcome of the show.  It comes from a desire to have things one's own way and not being open to the alternatives that may be equally (or infinitely more) viable.

I think the reason why some were disappoinated was that we wanted the sideways world to be real. I don't get how they can say that fans will be happy knowing that  all the good stuff that happened there was not real.  I wanted all those people to really be reunited, not in heaven but in the real world.  I find the last 15 minutes to be a cop out. But that said, i loved the rest of the finale. I loved how they ended the island stuff. It made sense, it was interesting. ANd it worked for me.

TOD:  The finale to "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" is still my favorite all-time series ender.  "Lost" is a close second.

I couldn't stand "Seinfeld," but I watched the finale.  I guess it was a great ending for a show I never liked...at least the characters got what I thought they deserved.  Hope they're all still in that jail cell...unwashed, unfed and still arguing about stupid stuff. 

Loved "Newhart" and "Friends" finales.  The "Frasier" finale was good but sad.  I don't remember the end of "Cheers" or "Taxi", but I know I watched 'em.

As for "M*A*S*H, I remember being underwhelmed after all the hype.  It's a show I couldn't bear to watch in re-runs, though.

"Mary Tyler Moore Show" was my favorite comedy show farewell, bar none. 

I've read a lot of reports today about how "Lost" didn't do so well compared to all the "powerhouse" show finales.  I think it significant that EVERY finale it was compared to was a half-hour sitcom.   Hmmmm...let's see....a 2 1/2-hour fantasy drama didn't do as well in the ratings as a bunchy of half-hour sitcoms?  Geez...go figger!

I'd be more interested in how it compared to other "dramatic" shows.

OTOH, it's phenomenal that a show like "Lost" did as well as it did...and always with quality in its writing, acting,  production and music..

I wanted to share this with you all:

https://www.myfloridalicense.com/viewcomplaint.asp?SID=&licid=838649

Case Considered - Awaiting Final Order.   That could mean anything.  I was told it could take between 3 and 9 months to find out WHAT the Final Order is.   Sigh.

Well, Dancing With The Stars awaits.

Laters all!
