I am the only person I know who had faithfully watched ER for the last 15 years. Back before DVRs, I had programmed my VCR to record it on video tape. I have seen every episode and I have cried like a baby several times over the show. So, when this past Thursday approached I was fully expecting the 3 hour finale event to ruin me. It totally didn't. The first hour, with scenes from the past, did get me choked up a little. But the actual final episode was anti-climatic. A patient died from DIC in the OR after having twin girls. She orphaned 6 kids and the way it went down just didn't get to me. I was just overall disappointed. However, I can't fully blame ER. It had an impossible standard to meet for me, as Six Feet Under has set the bar so high with THE BEST FINALE EVER. In fact, let's just watch that again because it is so awesome. If you have not watched or finished watching Six Feet Under, put it in your queue RIGHT NOW and DO NOT watch this, you will kick youself in the ass.Sunday, April 5, 2009
The End of an ERa

I watched the Six Feet Under season finale the night before Jaxon was born. I cried like a baby for 2 hours. That series was the GREATEST thing EVER created on television.
I just watched it again, tears streaming from my eyeballs, so so sad that it's actually over. I can't believe its been 4 years.
As for ER, I stopped watching it like 10 years ago.
OMG, Six Feet Under has been my favorite series ever, probably due in great part to the way it ended (though I didn't want it to end so fast). I watched the entire series on its Bravo rerun, never missed one episode, from first to last. I agree this was the best endind EVER. I loved seeing the dates on everyone's epitaphs - and that Claire actually lived the longest, to a 102... it was great to watch that clip again...
Damn, you made me cry again. I LOVED this then, LOVE it now. I even bought the soundtrack trying to hang onto Six Feet Under a bit longer...
Thanks for the memories Danielle. This was my all time favorite show and ending as well. I miss it!! Loved watching the video but it made me sad. Sniff.
