Thoughts on the final episode...?


I was not impressed with the ending, nor, like others have said, was I impressed with the way TNT decided to end the show. When my DVR recorded it on christmas eve, I just assumed it was some kind of marathon, and only kept one episode in case I got bored, only to find out that had recorded were the final episodes of the show. Any thoughts on the final episode?

I Thought the Final episode was OK. It was not the greatest but suitable for a season ending. It didn't have a cliffhanger but it sure made you wonder what season 2 would be like. You've got Jerry moving in with bobby, Rosalind being a single working mom (with Richard still lusting after her, Charly maybe joining Balco at the DA's office or serving as Farnsworth Law secretary. All in all a lot of great stories yet to be told.

Raising the bar might not have raised the bar for television but it made for a damn entertaining show.

I was disappointed that we didn't find out what Charlie decided ultimately. And, I have to say it, I am REALLY glad that Kessler got nailed for being so stupid. She annoyed me so much, she was such a self-righteous judge who was FAAR from impartial.

I figured the show as a whole was pretty good but that last episode was kind of sickly. Was this filmed before or after they knew the show was being cancelled?

I think the shows were filmed before they were sure the show was ending. I think its obvious. There was probably at least one more episode that probably could have come out that said the outcome of Kessler's case. It was obvious what Charlie was gonna do. He was gonna work for Farnsworth.

The show was regardless set up for a 3rd season which it should have had. I would have been happy if they cut it then. 2 uneven seasons just wasn't enough.
