bad year for T.V.

this season of television has to be one of the worst of all time for fans because of all the final episdodes of some very good programs. the sopranos, the west wing, that 70s show, and will and grace were all great shows and i am sad to see them go. the sopranos was one of my all time favourtite show, it was one of few programs that my parents and i watched together loyally for its entire run while i lived at home. the sopranos in my opinion could have gone on and on for many more years and shouldn't be ending. i only got into the west last fall while i was at home helping my dad for a few weeks during harvest. i had never watched a complete episode before but my dad had bought the first four seasons on dvd and i began watching them one night after i had gotten in late from hauling grain and instantly became hooked. i have now watched all the episodes from the first to the sixth seasons on dvd and its drawing power never wained. i haven't seen any episodes from the seventh season yet but have heard some bad comments. i suppose following the administration of an american president for two consecutive terms means the only natural course is to cancel the show after the seventh or eighth season but it would have been interesting to see a spin off, not centered around the white house but perhaps one of the characters that won't go on with president santos administration. that 70s show is another i always watched loyally with my parents while they always assured me that they never got high and that the show exagerated the seventies. somehow i never beleived them because they always had some story that was relative to something that went on in the show. that 70s show lost its appeal however when eric, and kelso left the cast. i watched a couple of shows at the beginning of this season but soon lost interest because it seemed to get too corny. i do however plan to watch the season finale which i heard was kind of good, and because kelso, and eric make guest appearances. will and grace wasn't a show i watched with any regularity but when i did see it i liked it a lot, but whenever it was on i was hanging around someone that wouldn't watch it because it centered around gay people. one show i will not miss is joey, i watched it quite a bit the first season simply out of loyalty for friends which joey was a spin off of. i can't even think of any shows that i am looking forward to next year, the big love is good but i have heard it is only a twelve part mini series and wasn't intended for more than those twelve shows. oh i forgot about battlestar galactica, i will be watching that.
