I thought I was the only one who appreciated these things about his character. There are several television characters that I love like a friend. I watch the show and I am so jealous that the writers were able to create such a character, give them the greatest lines to develop that character and then find the perfect actor to portray the character in a way that brings the character to life and, going full circle, presents us with a friend we will tune in to watch and remember for years, perhaps forever.

(the third being The West Wing -- specifically during the Sorkin years). BTW -- Damian Lewis was fantastic in Band of Brothers too. None of these three were dumbed down...and only one of them made it past season two ((sigh)). Right now I'm enjoying Chuck (I tuned in because of Adam Baldwin and stayed tuned in because I find it amusing.) and I'm really loving White Collar -- GREAT characters and chemistry imho.

It was different in a good way. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I saw the last episode. MOONLIGHT didn't last which surprised me. Vampires are big right now and the show was popular. BONES and NCIS are favorites . I too liked LIFE. It was different in a good way. Unfortunately, I’m not sure I saw the last episode.

You'll be upset because Charlie is such a great character, but I think there is enough closure to satisfy you. I don’t think you’ll get mad because there is a resolution.

A couple of years ago CBS had a show called Moonlight about a vampire and they canceled it too. The networks don't leave a show on long enough to know what's good and what's not.

I LOVED Dollhouse. LOVED it and it had two lousy seasons. Sigh. Least they got to end it, though.

I wish there were more room for subtlety on television. Even shows that start out well seem to get so diluted by the time they've been on the air a few seasons. Sometimes I start out watching a show, love the drama and the acting, and by season three its just everyone sleeping with everyone and all the characters have been completely sexed up to make it more appealing. I'm going to have to give LIFE a try. Haven't watched it. Thanks, Allison! I wish there were more room for subtlety on television.

I loved this show and was devastated when it was cancelled. At least they sorta-kinda wrapped it up in the finale. Great post! I loved this show and was devastated when it was cancelled.
