That was basically the last 5 episodes. There were no inspiring instances of social commentary. No season long narrative developed. No redeeming conflict within the studio except for a scantly developed conflict between writers that received less than 10 mins per episode. I'm sorry, this is bad TV disguised as something good. If you go through the stories you will see that.

Haven't you been hit over the head by the discussion about the power of the religious right? The decline of quality TV? Black v White cultural humour? Tabloid journalism? McCarthyism?
I don't mind a show that is willing to take it's time, a show that you can't look at the clock and know that since it is 20 minutes before the end, the plot will wrap up neatly now.
I'm sure many people won't like it, and that's OK, but I am getting annoyed when I think of all the good shows I liked only to see them cancelled well before they had a real chance.
