Yeah, love this show. But, five seasons is probably enough. It will venture into an "ER-like" recycle pattern if it went any longer.

i disagree. 4th season was BY FAR the best. theyve done a better show than any high school show in history (EASILY) of phasing out kids as they graduate and bringing in new students and players.
this show should not end. |

just watched all of season 4 in a FNL marathon, lying sick in bed all day ...
am i the only one who didnīt like the 2nd half of the season ? Actually didnīt like it at all ... Maybe the first half was too good to hold it up, but imo it felt quite a bit like season 2 with a ton of stuff not making sense and/or not having any impact on the series but still getting screen time. Things that i highly disliked (long ass spoilered text coming)
Spoiler
i still liked the season overall, but the 2nd part really made me angry at times Last edited by whomario : 03-11-2010 at 02:49 AM. |

Season 2 is seen as a huge dropoff from the first. I can confidently tell you though that Seasons 3 and 4 more than make up for it.

Just watched first episode of season 4 on NBC.
Looks good so far.

May have looked good on screen but it wasn't on many screens. The 1.2 rating A18-49 managed to hold off a repeat of House by 0.1 in order to finish third in its timeslot.

Looks like most of the staff will be making appearances in Season 5. They have Riggins, Tyra, and Saracen signed on to make multiple episode appearances. Street is also supposed to show up sometime during the season.
This show is amazing. |

The season seemed to go by really fast. Was it as many episodes as usual?

The seasons have gone:
Season 1 - 22 episodes Season 2 - 15 episodes Season 3 - 13 episodes Season 4 - 13 episodes I think season 4 was perhaps a little more ambitious and thus seemed to go by faster because alot of stories had to get truncated. They also had to introduce a ton of new characters as opposed to earlier seasons, so that made it more difficult. I still thought it was a strong year and now that we know some of the new characters really well by now, I'm looking forward to where the story goes with them next season.

Loved this season. Liked most of the new characters with the exception of Becky. My only gripe was that some of the storylines felt rushed at the end. They tend to wrap things up so quickly and/or forget about them.
Still the best show on TV. |

I believe just about everyone is coming back for at least an episode next season. Most of the cast from Season 1.

Nice! Thanks for the reminder. I'll miss this show dearly, and consider it criminally underrated, but I'm kinda glad they're going out on top, so to speak, and have had plenty of time to craft an appropriately awesome final season (knock on wood).

I won't give away anything about the fifth season except that it starts a little slow and the series finale is really done well. It wraps up 95% of the characters that were on the show.
Hopefully NBC airs the full series finale because without commercials, it is 65 minutes long. Last edited by Dr. Sak : 02-11-2011 at 08:27 AM. |

Just finished watching Season 5 on DVD. Very nice season to end a great show. Sad to see it go but they got way more seasons than we could have ever hoped and it went out on top.
The one thing this show does better than others is the little things. So many details you catch when you look back. It also captures life extremely well. There aren't really happy endings, just endings. There was a scene in the 2nd to last episode that captured this show perfectly.
Spoiler
I'll also say that "The Son" in Season 4 was the single greatest episode of television show I've ever seen. Zach Gilford is a remarkable actor and I was blown away by his performance. If there is anyone out there who hasn't seen this show yet, do it. It's on Netflix Instant and is truly a gem. Last edited by RainMaker : 05-20-2011 at 02:59 AM. |

agree that "the son" was the high point of the series in terms of acting for any of the characters in it.
Zach Gilford needs a decent film to get going, itīs a joke that he doesnīt get them after theese sort of performances. Actually he filmed the book adaptation of "The River Why" in 2010 but it still has no release date ... |

One episode left in the season on NBC. I am sorry to see this show go.
Eric Taylor is one of my favorite characters of all time. |

Overdue. They should have been the ones that picked this show up and cut a deal with NBC.

As good as the show may have been (and I'm content to take your word for it) the ratings were just flat out awful.
Monday adjustments correct the overnights downward a tenth for the finale, meaning it finishes its NBC run with a 0.8 A18-49, tied for third in the timeslot with a rerun of Bones and 50% fewer viewers than both a rerun of Shark Tank and new Flashpoint.

Yeah, ratings were never good for the show. But they did also release the DVD before the season aired on NBA and it's already been on DirecTV months ago. So any fan of the series has likely seen it all.
