Thanks for reading my email!
I had not seen the Legend of the Seeker finale when I wrote it, but I would include it in the “good” column. I wish the show wasn’t canceled, but at least the finale didn’t end on a huge cliffhanger.
I have seen Smallville, Life Unexpected, Legend of the Seeker, Supernatural, Chuck, and Castle. I would say my top 2 would be Supernatural and Chuck. I won’t get to spoilery on Supernatural because I know Randy still needs to see it but it was amazing. I have watched the show since day one and this finale was a huge payoff. I do agree with you Scott that it could have easily been 2 hours and probably would have been even better for it. Chuck was amazing as well and I loved the fight between Chuck and Shaw but what made that fight was Blaze of Glory being sung my Jeffster in the background. I also loved when Chuck got up and said I just needed to reboot. He is becoming more and more a human computer.
Hey guys loving the show as always & good
to have some regularity keeps me up to date with all the lastest goings on!
I really enjoyed the finales I saw this year the weakest for me being lost as I’m sure some will agree with. I loved Smallville best finale for a while I just hope they don’t cop out in some of the things they’ve set up especially with it being the final season and all. Supernatural was awesome and I agree 2 hours would have made it phenomenal. Chuck again was epic not more to say about it! 24 I thoroughly enjoyed also and look forward to the movie. Also worth a mention was Fringe which although predictable was good fun. I also recently watched through Spartacus: Blood and Sand and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a great show and I highly reccommend it just the first few eps which are not so good but once it establishes it’s own style instead of trying to be 300 meets gladiator it’s brilliant. Probably in my top 5 shows now.
I actually watched Spartacus straight through recently. Really good, but pretty much expected, historically. Unfortunately, I hear that the actor that plays Spartacus has cancer and if there is a season 2, it won’t be for a long while. Or pehaps with a different actor. They are apparently thinking about a prequel season for next year.
Am I the only one who watches The Vampire Diaries? I thought it had a really good finale as well, though it still fell behind Chuck.
I’m not caught up on Vampire Diaries yet. That’s something for next month.
Yes, really good finale for Vampire Diaries. Actually probably better than Gossip Girl, edit my choice above :)
90210 (don’t judge me) had a good finale too.
I know neither of you watch Fringe, but the Season Finale was AWESOME!! I can’t even describe it without spoiling the whole episode. It left with a cliffhanger that was like a kick to the stomach….it was amazing but really left you begging to know what’s going to happen next. Great finale.
Agreed. Fringe’s season finale was really good. I totally called the twist to the ending, but that didn’t make it any less of an event. I can’t wait to see how it plays out next year.
Damn, tough question about finales.
Favorites: Fringe (#1), Supernatural, Chuck, Smallville, Gossip Girl, Lost, House. And I’ll get shit, but have a weakness, inexcusable, for hospital shows, but Grey’s Anatomy had a pretty damn good finale, although it was a bit over-dramatic (it’s always supposed to though)
Randy, watch Supernatural. Scott, watch Fringe. Fringe does need some patience at the beginning to middle of season 1, but after that and especially season 2, is great.
And it’s not a Babylon 5 wait till season 2 either; it’s better (I tried too, Bab 5).
Can’t wait to watch Life Unexpected. I do want to, just wasn’t on my radar until too late
Glee isn’t over yet though, so who knows?
Shit, Breaking Bad isn’t over yet either. (Best show on TV)
I am “watching” Supernatural. It’s just not the type of show I can watch episode after episode after episode with, like I’m currently doing with Roswell, and previously did with Big Bang Theory. Some shows are too easy for me to get distracted from, no matter how good they may be.
How I Met Your Mother is another one of those shows that I enjoy, but can’t just keep watching. I get pulled away from it really easily.
Scott and Randy,
Have either of you watched Justified. It is an awesome show. It season finale is next Tuesday.
I’m not a big fan of the whole style of the show. Not to mention, it’s partly set in my hometown, and I really hate seeing Kentucky portrayed on TV. So I don’t watch it. I have a friend that does, though. He seems to enjoy it.
I loved it until I watched more than one episode and realized it’s just another procedural. I don’t have time to keep up with another procedural.
It’s still a procedural for the most part, but some episodes, the procedural part is really the B story and is in the background.
Season 2 should be fantastic. Wlaton Goggins is becoming a regular. :)
I know what you saying Scott but it actually got away from that like the last 3 or 4 episodes and it actually has an overall story.
Bones had a good season finale this year, no where near as good as last season’s but the last few episodes leading in to it made it a solid end for the season.
Did you guys hear about the new Tv show for ABC fam
called PRETTY LITTLE LAIRS , I dont know much about it besides it’s something to do with 4 teenagers who murdered another girl , and it Dark and Funny like house wives
Yeah, they got the preview on at the theaters here. Didn’t look very good, to me. Reminds me of a teeny bopper version of Sorority Row, which in turn reminds me of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
well I just watch the pilot and it’s pretty good , It not all about the murder , One of the girls is dating a teacher But it still to early to see how good it is , But I think u should give it a shot , Its better then the 3 min teaser
Eh, I read the first book and it wasn’t as fun as I thought it’d be. I was hoping for a fun trashy read and found it to be very superficial and empty. Not really fun and interesting. I was hoping for Heather but no such luck. But then, the same is true for the Gossip Girl books (they’re basically just designer brand porn) and they made that show a little more fun than the books.
I’d put Glee on my list of finales, I thought it was the 2nd best I’ve seen this year after Chuck.
The Glee finale was great, definitely bumped up on my list.
You have written an informative article with a lot of thought-provoking information. I agree with you on several points as they are valid and reasonable.
