Just got the DVD from Amazon and watched the 'Flashing Backwards' extra. VERY interesting interviews with the show creators and cast about how the show began, came together, and progressed through the season. It was obvious that everyone was committed to making the show as good as it could be, and they were all heartbroken when it was cancelled.

The ratings weren't that good, so they all knew towards the end it wasn't going to be renewed. They actually altered the plots slightly to take that into account and give the last episode a small bit of closure.

The interviews take place five years after the end of the show, giving them distance enough to reflect on the time they spent together. In my opinion, it's a tragedy the network was too short-sighted not to see the potential in this show, and what it could've accomplished with a long run.

My plan is to watch all the episodes again, and then watch the other extra - 'The Back Nine' - which talks about the plans they had for the show going forward. I think it'll make more sense to me with the season fresh in my mind.

I'll stop back to talk about 'The Back Nine' once I see it.
