ITA! I like the show, but it was better when it addressed social issues such as racism, dealing with other cultures, etc. Now it seems more focused on the kids' romances.

it touched on racism this year you know. Someone wrote "N**** lover" on the back of Martin's car after he ended up getting the whole class to do a black history month report.

but yeah, it does deal with relationships alot...maybe more then earlier on....probably because it's been on for 10 years and have pretty much ran out of plot ideas

I really loved the show when it started...plus I was an avid rerun watcher. heh
I begin missing later on though...I guess school and no personal tv.
hmms...It's been around so long...be kinda sad to see it go...even though I keep missing it. lol But...it was the show I grew up with, so...

kind of, to me it doesn't seem like they have the best acting on TV, probably the worst for a show that's been on for 10 years,lol(Stephen Collins and most the original cast are good, but the actors who've played Kevin, Martin, and Peter weren't good actors).....but the writing is great and clean too!

it's taught good values and been really the only good influence on TV that i can think of

so it will be missed by me.....but there are always reruns!! :)

That finale was awful. The 'climax' of the last show of the series doesn't even happen on screen. The day dreaming of the wedding made Eric look like one of the worst fathers on the planet when they showed that he essentially thought his oldest daughter is a complete idiot, and every single person in the family having twins was far too much of a stretch.

Not to mention that Matt's old deaf girlfriend still pronounces words better than the last set of twins. :sick:

lol ya...I couldn't see it on tv...so hmm...got a copy online.
Anyways, the last episode was horrible. It makes me wonder about how the scripting pretty much died when they grew up. Like when Ruthie wasn't that cute little Ruthie anymore.
The beginning was pretty sentimental though, hearing the song. Kinda makes me want to go back and watch reruns. heh
But the ending was weak. It was like one of those moments after a movie where you go...that was it? o_O So they really.......?

zzzzz

When Sandy came up to Simon at the wedding, at the very end and said "we have to talk," do you think she was implying that her baby was actually his? Also, I'm glad Simon and Rose didn't get married, but it was a really anti-climactic finish for the show.

That was a really pathetic finale.

My daughter and I just looked at each other in disbelief...that was it? And to leave a "we need to talk" hanging on the end of a series finale??? I thought they could at least tie everthing up.

And three sets of twins!?!? :sick:
