Here's a touching goodbye from NY Daily News critic David Bianculli:

TV Tonight

8:30 p.m. (ABC) "Complete Savages." Get out a hankie and grab a blank videotape. Tonight marks the series finale of this not-so-hot sitcom. I'll stop to let you gather your composure, because if you're like the three other people watching, this is a sad day. For those not familiar with "Complete Savages" - and that's a good thing - it stars Keith Carradine as a single dad trying to raise five teen sons. ABC did not give Carradine a second season, so it's time for a complete farewell.


He's right about one thing: I'm one of the four people watching and I will be recording it.

Eh, it had a good run.

I'll be watching it tonight. Being another one of the 4 people that watches and records it. Saying goodbye to a sitcom that was great, and made the people laugh. For being on at 7:30 on Friday's, being a new sitcom, it did pretty good..

D'OH! (bangs head on a table)

is the show being canceled in america or in the uk aswell?

This Show Was Okay, They Run Re-Runs Of It On UniversalHD

I was always disappointed that I didn't catch the last couple episodes. It got bumped around so much on our networks that I could never figure out when it was on.

Complete savages was a GOOD show!

...I take David "Mr. Teleliteracy" Bianculli's opinions with a grain of salt. I really don't care for his smug attitude on certain shows (I remember just before "SURVIVOR" premiered six years ago, he was actually waiting for that show to fail, just so he could make "GILLIGAN'S ISLAND" jokes about it- in fact, when he mentioned the show in the DAILY NEWS when it premiered, he concluded, "Meanwhile, the Professor tries to make a transmitter out of a coconut". Then he saw the show....and gave it a RAVE review! And he's never wavered since....), and he's usually wrong about certain shows he initially sneered at [I've never forgiven him for his "HI HI PUFFY AMI YUMI" review in '04!!], and SOMETIMES, he'll admit it {"DEAL OR NO DEAL" being a recent example}. But on the whole, what can you expect from a TV critic who keeps harping about the great shows on BBC America's cable channel when most of US can't see it?????

:rolleyes:

p.s. the main reason "COMPLETE SAVAGES" is on the Universal HD channel is so that producers can recoup some of their investment in the series......

Short-Lived Sitcom Potpourri (XIX) (https://jacksonupperco.com/2023/10/11/short-lived-sitcom-potpourri-xix/)

It’s not as impressive as any of the aforementioned though because not all the regulars are well-defined. Only three of the five boys have any real comedic shape — the jock, the nerd, the prankster. The oldest and youngest are merely there to serve their positional roles as bookends, otherwise bringing no value to comedy or story (https://web.archive.org/web/20140402223206/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3117241-complete-savages/?view=getnewpost). What’s more, despite these routine and uninspired comic personas for the middle three children that do influence their usages, they’re basically generic too, with none of the leads — and not even their beleaguered father — feeling multi-dimensional.
