Just watched the last 2 episodes of Season 3 :(
I'm not sure anyone is going to read this but I have to get my thoughts out. It seems every year around this time when it starts getting cooler outside I get the urge to bust out the AD episodes. For the past few weekends I've been having mini AD marathons. Well tonight I've gotten to the last two episodes and its just sad to think this is it. There was so much going on in the show so many developments I still can't believe NBC canceled this show! The Finale is such a powerful episode. The scene where Jack tells Meg if she leaves with Chris she can't come back home. Wow it was so emotional the acting in this show was amazing.
I wanted to see what happened with JJ and his continued work for the Apollo mission after the company he worked for got their bid approved for the space suits. Plus his relationship with Beth, her wanting to go back to Penn, raising Trip (John III).
I found Jack's city council involvement to be very interesting and while it seems to be "in the past" I wonder if the writers would have considered bringing it back in a later season. Perhaps the truth would come out about Jack taking the money for voting a certain way. I wanted to see Jack and Henry continue to fight for the small businesses and keep Pryor TV and Radio open for as long as possible and fight off competition from the malls and department stores.
I could keep going but it kinda hurts to think about "what could have been" lol. Even 5-6 years later its still hard to watch the last few episodes because I know it really is ending. It is such a shame because I felt the show had a lot of potential. Some crap shows now are running for for 5+ seasons! Maybe AD was ahead of its time ugh I just miss it.
