10 Stars for Seasons 1-3, 0 stars for Season 4; 8 over all
I loved the first three seasons ... and have re-watched many times .... I still cry about Joey - one of the most moving scenes I've ever see on TV. Yes, some things are silly and far fetched (couldn't stand the Nora character, so glad she is gone) but overall enjoyed the humor and seeing the main characters change and grow over time, especially Hugh. I think Rodger Corser did an excellent job of portraying that growth while still being edgy, and he's so attractive! That last scene of season 3 was such a contrast to how he was in the first series ... I was so looking forward to season 4! A mature Hugh as a real dad. But , alas!I was soooo disappointed! I miss Floyd! and it seems everyone of the main cast backslid to their most immature behaviors ... I stopped liking Charlie somewehre along the line anyway, and was really disappointed they had Matt dump April ... I used to admire him, but lost all respect after that .... and what they did with Haley was just un necessary and not in keeping with her character. I am not a writer but even I could think of a number of different ways they could have gone with these characters and continued with a great show, instead of going the way of having them revert to adolescent behaviors and attitudes.
did they change writers? did they run out of ideas so fell back on cliche's ... by the end of the series I found I could care less about any of them and have no intention of watching it over ... or series 5 if it comes about.
score 8/10
