“Breaking Bad” is my obvious answer. But I also really miss “The Closer”. Loved that show. Also the early years of “Lost” & “Fringe”. How about you? ---

We recently finished _The Sopranos_. Wish there were more of those. ---

Cheers. In the series finale, we discover, at the end, that Frasier had flown to Chicago to pursue Laura Linney’s character. I’m dying to see how he screwed that one up. Not to mention how Daphne reacted when Niles came out of the closet. ---

Scrubs. But not the medical school last season stuff. I don’t see how they could’ve continued it, but I do miss it. ---

Justice. It got Fox’s usual treatment of randomly scheduling so it never really had a chance to take off and was canceled after one season. Tru Calling. Another one Fox mistreated. The 4400. I hate when networks end a show on a cliff hanger. Speaking of which, I agree with **cochrane** about My Name is Earl. The series continuation of Charmed, Buffy, and Angel have had some pretty good story lines in them, so I wouldn’t have minded seeing those aired instead. Full House and Family Matters both end abruptly; they should have had another season to rap things up. ---

Not to mention how Daphne reacted when Niles came out of the closet. Idiot mistake on my part. The TV show title should be FRASIER and not Cheers. K. Grammer played the same character for 22 consecutive years in Cheers/Frasier. ---
