Remember when there were seven episodes left and CBS ran this?.....

They decided to piece several parts from all the different shows remaining together. Like when it shows Doug outside the house leaning against it and he looks all discouraged. You'd think from the ad that it was because Carrie had left him, which he asks her right before that shot. In reality, it was from that vegetarian episode where he was bummed because he couldn't stand to eat meat anymore. And then there was last week's episode where she "left him" just to go live in their new apartment in Manhattan.

So when you put it together, it looks like it's all leading to a break-up. In reality, it looks like there is no break up intended at all. But boy, from that ad above, it sure was made to look like there was.

Shame on CBS!!!

Networks do that all of the time. They want to get you to watch their shows. All previews are usually misleading. I don't think that CBS did anything wrong.

Well i agree CBS misleads stuff. I am a fan of Survivor and they always overhyped bs on that show to make it seem outrageous.

However with this Spence angle it seems that the marriage may have some trouble in the final episode.

But l do agree with the original post as from the looks of it it suggested Carrie might have fallen out of love with Doug and was leaving him broken hearted..which didn't seem to be the case at all last night. It was more of a mutual seperation where either seemed to be pining. Just spiteful posturing.
