Weird but quite a good program.

this was a good series except for its excesses on the gay front with David, and a need to constantly dwell in sex with Nate as well. The acting was good, the basis of having a mortuary family as the center and the founder dying in the first episode but constantly haunting his family throughout the series was well done. Also the opening of each episode with a different 'death' and tieing into the business of the mortuary, was well thought out.

This show had its ups and downs...but tonight's episode and series finale was just beautiful. The irony in it all is this was a family filled with anger,hate,and wreckless behavior and always towed the liberal line. Hating the war, having gay family members and random sex all over the place, drug use,psychotics everywhere.

However,the irony in it is...the final episode brings home the true conservative values that always work in the end...family...love...trust..and oh yeah...the gay couple had adopted 2 black children and David learned that the power of prayer works...even at the dinner table after going on a hiatus from his family to fight his inner demons.

Amazing and beautiful ending to a twisted and dark series about the the great unknown which we all will find out one day.

Much like Twin Peaks, SFU started out interesting but got just plain stupid as time went on, albeit in the case of Twin Peaks it all happened in one season.

One of the best TV finales I've seen. The montage at the end was beautiful and brought closure to the show. For once we get a good look at what happens to the characters after the series ends instead of tacky goodbyes or unfruitful cliff-hangers.

It's finally 6 Feet Over.

I saw many episodes, not because I liked em

It was like watching a train wreck - you can't help but look.

My prediction came true, too... they killed all the characters in the final episode.

I really liked the show. It doesn't discuss the hereafter but it does illuminate the family's and their clients raction to the loss of loved ones. Working in a mortuary business must be enormously stressful since you're always surrounded by death. There's no escaping the Grim Reaper. It sooner or later gets every one and even Nate in the end meets the fate that befell his own father. Its reminder both of how short life can be and also how precious is that gift which we are given by God.

Well, I'll admit it, I cried during both viewings of the finale last night.

Plan on watching it again tomorrow, anticipate crying again.

I am going to miss this series ("Six Feet Under") but once Ned died, I knew the end was near. I'm somewhat relieved, since it can't go too much farther without becoming repetitive but what I liked very much about this finale is the many unanswered possibilities remaining. It inspires us to recall the Series with curiosity. Which is great.

I'm pretty eager to see "ROME" and the Sixth Season next year of THE SOPRANOS. HBO has a home-run in these recent and incredibly creative series.

So many aspects I find disagreable socially and morally, yes, but SFU has been enacted so incredibly well and written equally as well and it's been fascinating.

Very, very well done.

It shouldn't have lasted one episode. They cancel Carnivale after two seasons, but keep this crap running for, what, five years?

I must have missed it because I was watching something really worth watching. On the History Channel, Modern Marvels: BRICK.

Oh man BRICK! They had the history and evolution of BRICK, a BRICK museum, how BRICK is made, and even a school for laying......BRICK.

Did you know that volcanic ash mixed with the mortar allows it to set underwater?

What a beautiful, brilliant, one-of-a-kind show, which I watched from day one.

And Claire ends up with the sanest, sweetest guy in the whole series - Conservative Ted!
