Season Finales

As the summer approaches, so does the end of some of our favorite shows (mostly on broadcast television). I’ll take a brief look at some of the intriguing cliffhangers that will leave us in suspense over the next 4 months.


“The Office” – Finale premieres May 14, 2009

The short-lived Michael Scott Paper Company has closed up shop and everything seems to be back as it was when the season began. The love triangle of Andy/Dwight/Angela has been resolved, Pam and Jim seem happy as always and Michael is once again the boss at the Scranton branch. Taking a sneak peek at the synopsis for the finale, it appears Michael and the adorable Holly reunite at a Dunder-Mifflin company picnic. I think everyone would love to see them get back together…


“30 Rock” – Finale premieres May 14, 2009

As much as I enjoy “30 Rock”, there is hardly any carry-over drama in the series. I wouldn’t be surprised to watch the finale and have nothing shocking occur. Liz will continue to struggle with her relationships, Tracy and Jenna will continue to get into precarious situations and Jack will some how resolve all the problems. “30 Rock” is one of the wittiest, best written shows on television but as far as compelling story lines go you shouldn’t expect too much.


“How I Met Your Mother” – Finale premieres May 18, 2009

Nearing the conclusion of season 4, we are not anywhere closer to finding out who Ted marries. Granted, this is the central plot of the show but we really haven’t gained any new possibilities of who it may be. The under lying conflict is Barney’s not so secret love for Robin. How, when or if he professes his love will undoubtedly become a major plot point and could seriously alter the series’ funniest character. Let’s not forget, I think Marshall has a few more slaps left for Barney…
