That's amazing. My grandmother loves this show.

I'm glad to read the good news, as I am a fan of the show.

I haven’t watched the show in a few years but I was curious to see how Peter Krause would go out. I actually underestimated how long he was actually going to last on the show by a long shot, especially being fresh off that Shonda Rhimes debacle The Catch.

I had forgotten about that show.

Krause got on my nerves on Six Feet Under (I know Nate was meant to be annoying), but he has had a strong track record for acclaimed or popular shows. 

I only dip in and out of 911 but many of the fans seemed to adore his character. I imagine he went because of budget cuts, but I wonder how many will stick around.

Re: The Catch. Probably Shonda Rhimes’  2nd worst show after the disastrous Off the Map. I vaguely recall Krause being deemed miscast and for whatever reason styled too old for the character he was playing, yet he looked younger & refreshed once  9-1-1 aired. 

I know what you mean about him on Six Feet Under as the show wore on but he was absolutely delightful on Parenthood, which I think is true stand out role.

I enjoyed the first couple seasons before obviously that typical Ryan Murphy & Co. decay and dry rot set in…although it’s at least done a lot better than most of his shows the past decade.
