i stopped watching shortly after that..how'd that shyt end? how long was the series?
Basically what @StatUS said. Once they decided to serialize it took off. It was ambitious and it mostly succeeded in my eyes. I think the 5th season is a bit divisive but I've never heard anyone say that it was bad.
A few of those network sitcoms aren't surprising and some got cancelled back in the fall. Nothing big that anyone would miss. The longer running ones I knew they were bound to end. Still gotta get caught up on a few of them. Watching network tv live is a waste these days. Half don't make it.
Remember the writer's strike of 08? That shyt was a massacre. Some real promising shows died that year. I still have a couple of them. People should check out The Black Donnellys and The Riches.
