Six Feet Under

[Christiern]

I thought the ending was brilliant. I won't give anything away, but I wonder how my fellow posters saw it.

I didn't see it, but I read all about the ending in the NY Times this morning.

[jlhoots]

I liked it.

I was a big fan from the beginning.

I thought it was a bit cheesy and over the top. Don't get me wrong, I think it was a brilliant show and I'm very sad to see it go, but the last 10 minutes just seemed unnecessary.

What a great show though huh?

[ValerieB]

i, too, thought it was brilliant. a magnificent way to wrap it all up! i'm officially in mourning!

I really dug the series a lot and enjoyed the last episode.. I also am in mourning.. I'm really going to miss the Fishers & all the brilliantly developed characters and stories.. HUGE Kudos to Alan Ball & the entire staff of the show!

BIG NEWS: EVERYBODY'S GONNA DIE.

I thought the ending was a bit cheesy - providing some kind of closure-to-the-max I guess. And, except for Keith, it appeared that most lived to ripe old ages, not straying very far at all from usual ideal death circumstances...

I would have found it more enjoyable if the show had ended 10-15 minutes earlier.

[Christiern]

I liked the subtleties, like Keith's oldest adopted son having turned out to be gay. I missed it the first time around, but he is holding hands with an Asian man at one of the funerals. I also thought the aging makeup was good, and I loved that long, straight road through the desert.

very interesting to read the obits on six feet under's website!

Never saw the show, but after hearing all the hoopla upon it's demise it makes me want to see it. Might be a nice DVD thing. That's how I got hooked on the Sopranos.

...what is it about HBO? How come they have ALL the interesting T.V.? I mean, foul language and violence are just byproducts of some of the great shows they have, not the reason they're so great. When are the networks going to wake up and create instead of recycle and emulate?

Good question.

They are not afraid to spend money and they have greater vision and more guts than the mainstream networks. Also, and this is an important factor, no silly corporate advertisers to worry about.

My parents are watching that shit as I write this.

Well, F/X has The Shield. But they are another cable channel, not a network. Whenever networks get anything good lately, they make sure to kill it after only one season or less. Freaks & Geeks, The Job, Undeclared... The networks are a joke.
