Missed the Final Show? Read On!

It Ain’t Over ‘Til the… Season Finale

Forgot to watch that last episode of your favorite show? Your TiVO ran out of space? Or maybe you’re an AARP-er battling a blinking light on the VCR you got for Christmas in 1989. Don’t worry, we’ve got your finality-ness needs covered!

Here’s everything you need to know about how the 2005/2006 television season wrapped up. We even alphabetized it for you!

24
Jack Bauer toppled the U.S. government and brought evil President Logan to justice. Whoo-haw! But then he was shanghaied onto a slow boat to China.


American Idol
The pudgy gray-haired dude won. That’s all you need to know. Rumors of him receiving more votes than any American president are disputed. But Mophead might not be so bad in the White House. We’re voting for William Hung as vee-pee.

CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York
There are THREE of these shows. Murder, investigation, solution… the end.

Desperate Housewives
Let’s see … Murder? Check! Long-lost daughter? Check! New psycho characters? Check! Husband cheats with hot maid? Check! Not looking both ways before you cross the street? Oops.

ER
We didn’t actually see the show, because we don’t have to. Either (A) a helicopter crashed on or near the hospital; (B) someone had a gun in the ER and shot up the place, or (C) doctors went to Africa. Take your pick—the end was surely heartwarming.

House
The husband of a former patient shot House, bringing the season to a logical and lethal end. After all, if this guy had been our personal doctor, we’d have shot him in Season One.

Grey’s Anatomy
In the horniest hospital in America, we learned that stolen hearts have consequences and doctors have to make really tough decisions, including moving their shenanigans to Thursdays next fall.

Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, Law and Order: Criminal Intent
There are three of these, TOO? They all ended. Enough said.

Lost
Nobody died. Two cast members — Libby and Ana Lucia — were gunned down weeks ago in a bit of anti-climactic spurt of excitement. No one got arrested for drunk driving (no cars have been spotted on the island as of yet). Final shot: The Others in control of Jack, Sawyer and Kate with Sayid and Jin possibly sailing to the rescue. Oh yeah, and a really big explosion of sorts, the results of which are unclear.

Prison Break
They broke out of prison. What did you expect? A “Prison Idol” talent show?

The West Wing
Jimmy Smits was elected president. Then the show ended and everyone realized it was just a TV show, and crying was heard across the country.

Best Sitcom Season Finales EVER“Freddie,” “Joey,” “Still Standing,” “Yes, Dear.” All were not-so brilliant, but cancelled nonetheless. No grand finale allowed. (That was saved for “Will & Grace” – babies, flashbacks and tears of joy.)

What about the season finale of Katie Couric's career? She's a dead-woman-walking in the macho world of CBS Evening News. After all, that's the network that actually saw increased ratings with old fart Bob Schieffer in the wheel, er, anchor chair.

I would love to see "The Book of David" taken on by HBO or someone else. I want to see it continued.

How about the WB's Related? That was a fantastic show that was never given a fair chance. It had great writing and a good cast as well. I'm going to miss it. :(

Please pick up the Aussie show McLeods Daughters.
It was just cancelled by the WE channel, not a swift move...There is a huge US fan base.

Didya just give up watching the finales? I don't get it. How did Jack topple an entire government? Yes, we know Taylor has gray hair. He is very talented!!!

No mention of Everwood or Invasion either? Lots of people are pretty upset...

Denise wrote:

I was sad to see Related cancelled. Is there any chance the new CW will give this show CPR. I mean the C-R-A-P they have on is going to get canned anyway. Have any of you attempted to see Fashion House or Desire, of course its big in Japan...its the same place David Hasselhoff's albums are number 1. Bad script and bad acting, please tell me that America's Next Top Model is not the only worthwhile show this "cutting edge" network is showcasing. Please tell me there is someone out there who agrees!

I agree with Denise. I am bummed about Related. That was a great show.

Cancelling Related was not a smart move by the CW. This show was witty, entertaining, and had an interesting story line that viewers were tied in to. I am very disappointed that it has been cancelled, especially after waiting all season for Rose and Joel to get together, Anne and Danny to figure things out...and who knows what is going to happen with Ginnie and Bob...I guess we will never know...:(

Mindy wrote:

I also agree that cancelling Related was a big mistake made by the CW. They brought back Seventh Heaven after it was supposedly over, which I must say has worn out its welcome. But didn't bring back Related, which I found to be a fresh, new show with great writing and "relatable" characters. This show will be sadly missed.

To Denise, I agree with you that "Desire" and "Fashion House" are two shows I would never even consider watching even if they were the only thing on. If you want to watch soap operas, there are many to choose from during the hours most of us work. But the aforementioned “dramas” are not on the CW. I would suggest getting your facts straight before spouting off seeing that the CW has several other good shows, such as, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, and the new show Runaway seems to be pretty good (if they would just put in a time slot and leave it there).
