[DelawareValleyDem]

Unlike some long running sitcoms, the finale will be its normal half hour length

1. Proof that terrible things DO eventually end

Next up, the end of Bush in 2008.

2. Never seen it -- don't plan to start now.

3. I saw it for a few seconds while I was flipping channels

and that was way more than I needed to see to know I didn't want to ever watch it. :puke:

4. It couldn't come soon enough

I hate Patricia Heaton-right wing loser.

5. There IS a God

This show is so annoying. I've watched a couple of episodes just to see what all the fuss is about and truly loathe it.

edit for typo.

6. It's about flippin' time

I lost a ton of respect for Patricia "it's my morals that supercede a woman's right to choose" Heaton when I found out she was anti-choice. F'ing bitch.

I have tried watching it in the past and it's a snore...

7. So I'm not the only one who thinks that show is a waste of air.

Oh goodie.

Gawd, those are some annoying people. Worse than Kelso
on That 70's Show.

8. Thanks. I like this show

The good sitcoms are ending, being replaced by more news or "reality" shows.:-(

[Longhorn]

9. I do, too.

Maybe because we have twins and dysfunctional families but we find the show hilarious. This thread is proof that there are lots of tastes in comedy out there! :D

10. And I believe that I know both Raymond and his father in my life,

which is what makes it humorous to me. I recognized them on the very first show that I saw. This is a very well-done show and I mourn that's it's ending and the demise of the sitcom. It's served us well, since "I Love Lucy.":-(

11. Count me in as one who won't miss it....

I know I never saw the winning potential of this show. The stars and co-stars cleaned up every year but I just didn't get it. Seems like the show was the same week after week. Husband with head up butt, wife long suffering, the usual childhood worries, and the flaky in-laws. Same every darn week. I never got the appeal of Home Improvement or many other sitcoms either. They never deviate from the standard men are insufferable boobs who love their families but essentially clueless and wives just one good rant away from going postal all wrapped up and lovey dovey in 22 minutes. Now Roseanne...she is annoying as hell but at least it had some real life BS in it.
