Wow what a nice 100th episode. It was so refreshing to see an episode starring the entire real cast all together again. I don't think a single newbie got a line of dialogue. I would have liked a Puck and Coach Biest scene though. After a while of lackluster efforts, this was really nice and nice to see the two guest stars come back.

That was a nice series finale (even if it wasn't truly the finale). It's a shame it came to this but the show was running on empty for a while so the change may do it good. It was nice to see the original five get their moment, but sad that Tina gets left out. I am unclear about what happpens to Sue and Shue now but I think the show will be much better in NY full time. The only loss out of the new people will be Little Puck.

They renewed it for two more seasons last season, so they're basically stuck with it. They're "in talks" with Ryan Murphy how many episodes season 6 should be, considering they were originally contracted with 24 episodes... They're essentially begging to have a short final season. It'd be funny if they refused and they were stuck with a full season order, just for shits and giggles.

No it wouldn't. If nobody's watching the show, nobody's going to be buying the songs either. If FOX was happy with it's ratings, it would of been on the fall schedule and air all 22 episodes originally ordered for it's final seson. Instead, it's not on schedule and FOX wants to reduce the number of episodes, so they can end Glee as quickly as possible.

Exactly. Fox actually rated lower than the CW last night. If they had been happy with the profits they wouldn't just be in discussions for a shorter order for season six, but they wouldn't be thinking about it as the final season. They would just replace Murphy if he wouldn't do a seventh season.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did a summer burn-off, to be honest.

Fox renewed shows with lower ratings. The decision also would've been made months ago, before these record lows.

Abd their sings still hit the top 100 on iTunes and sell well. It's also got a syndication deal and sells overseas. A lot more goes into a shows gate that strictly the most recent weeks 18-49 demo.

Glee has had bad ratings all season. It's not a new thing.

Only time people mention things like iTunes sales, international revenue is when ratings are bad. Yes, those can be factors, but they don't save shows. Ratings still matter the most and ultimate deciders of what gets renewed or not.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
