Man, I used to watch 7th Heaven every week! I used to LOVE that show, and then they started graduating from high school and it was downhill from there. I have to say, Gilmore Girls is the one show I know of where graduating from high school didn't signal the long, slow slide toward utter crap. If anything, the show got better as Rory headed to Yale. (I mean, 90210, Saved by the Bell, Dawson's Creek, and so forth. All the shows failed miserably at transforming the adolescent high schoolers into mature college students. And they all suffered deaths long after their time.) But you're right, the new writers are so/so, and they've definitely been taking too many cues from soap operas and throwing in everything and the proverbial kitchen sink of drama this season. I guess, it's hard to imagine everyone keeping that up for another season. I will still be sad to see Stars Hollow and its citizens fade into obscurity. I've always known it would end one day, and I always had a hunch that would be the day Rory graduated from college. But I was holding out hope. Jessica, you are right, and I know and resent it.

This past season was garbage, but that's what happens when you get a new team of writers and last seven years. At least the station is being wise about this and not letting it go on to be the next 7th Heaven...? As for Harry Potter, I'm so happy that the book is coming soon, but ever so sad. It's an end of an era! As sad as it is, it’s ABOUT TIME. This past season was garbage, but that’s what happens when you get a new team of writers and last seven years.
