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.

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.

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!

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...:(

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).

I KNOW! I was pissed about Related being cancelled. I so wanted to know what was going to happen with Joel and Rose. I've been witing the whole year. And by the way "Jessica", "Related was a good show. Yea, 7th Heaven, Gilmore GIrls, Smallville are good shows but whatelse are! Oh yea..and Reba and Veronica Mars. And the schedule SUCKS for the CW shows. All the monday night shows are crap and they're just gonna end up drowning and same with wednesday night and friday night. They should put Reba on Friday night or Thursday night atleast.THAT BLOWS!
