If you all haven't noticed alot of the long running and highly rated shows are ending or may end this season.

Friends-ending their 10th and final season for this year. A for sure thing, they all say they won't be back.

Everybody Loves Raymond- Ray says this will be his series last season. But watch out it's not a for sure thing. CBS is likely to throw more cash out him to keep their highest rated Monday night show not to mention their highest rated comedy.

Frasier-After 11 season is likely to end. Kelsey himself has said he just wanted Frasier to go as long as Cheers did.

Sex and the City- HBO's second highest rated show and cable's highest rated comdey will end it's run during it's 6th season which should finish up in January. Sarah has said it is a for sure thing. Sex will leave HBO in 2004.

The Saprano's-Not only HBO's highest rated show but cable's highest rated show may have one more season. As many cast members have said. Not a for sure thing but could happen.

The Sopranos will be back, that's a sure thing.

Sitcoms today aren't anything like they used to be anyway. Friends is about the best now. Frasier's storylines are getting old and tired. I don't watch HBO, so I couldn't dissect either "Sex in the City" or "The Sapranos". There will never again be shows like "Cheers", "Roseanne", "The Golden Girls", "All In The Family" etc. For the most part, TV sitcoms need a lot of work, and a lot better writers if they're ever going to compete with the classics. And as more and more networks buy into the so called "reality" garbage, it's sad to say, sitcoms could become a thing of the past.

The beer Legacy is ending.....I wonder how he'll include Cheers in the finale? And you know he will. He'll want to pay his respects to his parent show....

Well, we still have the Simpsons. When all of us are dead and buried, the Simpsons will still be on tv.

I read there's another season after this. Because Fox raised Ashton Kutcher's salary so he'd stay after he suddenly became a "superstar"

Charmed is also expected to call it a day after this season. Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan's contracts expire after this season and both of them have said they don't plan on coming back

I can't wait to see the final season in the next 3 months. "Sex and the City" will be my all-time favorites. I've seen the "Full House" series finale many times. "Sex and the City" will be the next show to end in January.
