Watching television is always a difficult thing for me because it seems like I never have enough time to sit down and watch a program the same time every week. One of those shows that is an exception to the rule is Nip/Tuck, which is having its last season this year (albeit it being split into two parts). I started watching Nip/Tuck when it first came out. I don't know why, but I fell in love with it. It was edgy and pushed the boundaries of appropriate television. Unlike another medical show that I watched, E.R., the surgeries performed were not just there because they needed to be, they often added a subtext to the story. Over the years, Nip/Tuck has become stranger and stranger and at points ridiculous.
When I first heard that it was to be ended after 100 episodes, I was unhappy and dismayed; one of the only shows I have left from my teenage years was about to end, and I would have to move on to something else. Unlike other shows like The Sopranos, though, I eventually saw the end as a good thing. It seems like it is right for Nip/Tuck to become complete. A show can't go on forever (unless its The Simpsons), and sometimes it is better to bow out before the show is canceled.
How does does everyone else feel about this?

I never watched the show.
ReplyDeletei find it hard to find time for tv but thankfully they put my favorite shows on demand, and online, so when i do have free time and im not near a tv i can still watch
ReplyDeleteI have a few shows that I am addicted to, one of them is greys anatomy. I will be devastated when that ends. It's crazy how involved you can get but in the end it's just a show and the people arent real. Nontheless, we still have an emotional attatchment. I hope that the finale of nip/tuck will do the show justice, as I would hope that the eventual finale of greys will do. It's the least the writers and producers of shows like these can do for its fans who have been so loyal.
ReplyDeletenever seen nip/tuck but hear great things about it. Even though it was definately time I was so disappointed that Sopranos was coming to an end. It was the only show that all four members of my family would sit down together and watch the same show. Since then, I don't think I've sat down with my entire family since then.lol I wish Sopranos would come out with a movie like Sex and the City did.
