WOW WHAT A STUNNER, so Lilly is an aunt and her sis for now is safe. Intense, riveting, gripping finale:thumbsup:
I'm really bummed out on this sad news. One of my all time favorite shows, and I don't get this either, it was always high in the ratings, at least in the top 20. There were so many more stories that could be told, this sucks big time First 'WOAT' now this one:brickwall:
Problem being that CBS is kind of spoiled with its powerhouses like the CSI and NCIS franchises that they can afford to drop shows that would be shining stars on any other network.:brickwall:
Sadly, that is the case. The almighty dollar won out again. I truly don't understand why this show was canceled, while a man who has TWO failed series udner his belt, Alex O Loughlin is being given a third. There were so many stories left that could have been told...rumor has it ABC may pick it up...but sadly, it appears Cold Case has had its last case.
Exactly so many more stories. Lilly just reuinited with her wayward sister, and Scotty and his challenges with his parents especially his mom. And the others. I loved this cast I'm really stunned by this one, I had no idea it was on their[CBS's] s...list.:scream:
I didn't watch this show much because of the time slot (I watched Army Wives at that time and last season In Plain Sight was on at the same time so I recorded it while watching Army Wives), but my mother was a fan of the show. I told her today that they cancelled it and she said, "Nooo." In kind of a sad voice.
And that is what I fear will happen next year with the CSIS. Us fans will still watch it...but others won't due to the time change.
I started watching Cold Case just late last year (few months after cancellation) and then became a fan. Thanks to DVR, I'm almost done with all episodes. I just want to say I'm so disappointed with the finale. It was a good episode but not a series finale type. CBS didn't even try to renew the show for atleast 13 more episodes to finish the show properly or atleast tell the writers to wrap the show up because it's getting cancelled. Or uhm the writers should have seen the cancellation coming due to the show's low ratings and came up with a better finale. Anyway, I love this show. Different type of crime drama. I know some were skeptical about its premise but I found it to be plausible. Yeah it's hard to remember things that happened years ago but detectives are trained to ask the right questions / present relevant evidence that will eventually trigger someone's memory and come up with a statement. Most episodes relied basically on witness statements then the suspect would confess to the murder even without a hard evidence against him or asking for a lawyer. But it's not reallt far away from reality. Some people, after all these years were haunted by guilt and just waiting for the right time to give up and confess. Anyway some of my favorite episodes were mostly those set in the 1930's thru 1960's. The more ancient the better though I didn't like the 1919 case. I thought it was ridiculous. I also liked episodes in 1990's thru this decade. My all time favorite (as of now) is "The Road." Still need to watch some episodes from seasons 3 and 4 though.
