OMG YES!!!  Maybe now they'll release the final seasons on DVD.

Now where is Knots?

I wish.

Too bad Ida Lupino had passed away the year before.  She could have played Ruth Galveston, too.

Fourteen years and that's what they get?  God, what a horrible promo.  You could tell CBS was just ready to let go.

What were TS/Gary and ML/Karen more shocked by?  The sudden reappearance of Val, or the cheap wig JVA was sporting when she returned?

And I REALLY could have done without FW/Vanessa and JG/Tom.

[Soapsuds]

Maybe that's why the ratings for the finale were a bust.

I loved Tom but hated Vanessa.

I think the ratings would have been low anyway.  S13 chased away a lot of fans.

I'm just saying!

There just didn't seem to be a point in bringing back Tom when it was clear Greg and Paige were endgame.

And once Vanessa had split up Alex and Kate, it was time to send her packing.  She had served her purpose.

I think it's just a sign of being a show that never really generated much hype either way. Falcon Crest had a similarly low-rated finale. (Dynasty doesn't count since I don't think ABC really promoted it as such)

Dallas was the big winner in the series finale wars.

Falcon Crest had the lowest of the four.

Does the Colbys count?

Well, that figures.  By the time the show had ended, most of the actors and characters who the audience loved - Chase, Cole, Julia, Melissa, Maggie - had gone.  Angela would have been gone, too, had Jane Wyman not returned (against her doctors' wishes) for the last few episodes.
