i know theres a few fans here on qgl, so dont shoot the messenger

When "Nip/Tuck" made its debut in 2003, it broke cable-viewing records and instantly distinguished itself with its stylized look, tongue-in-cheek tone, gorgeous stars and fresh take on America's obsession with beauty and youth. Those qualities earned it a Golden Globe for best drama, critical acclaim and water-cooler buzz that lasted for most of its first four seasons.

But when one of FX's signature series quietly wrapped last week on the Paramount lot, it did so without the usual fanfare associated with the end of a noteworthy show. In part, the silent send-off was because TV viewers won't see the "Nip/Tuck" finale, which finished shooting on June 12, for a long time, probably as late as 2011, making it tricky to publicize. Behind the scenes too, during the last week of production, there was an awkward sense that the end had already happened, since much of the crew had already moved to creator Ryan Murphy's new Fox musical, "Glee," last year, and Murphy himself was out of the country location-scouting for an upcoming movie.

"It's sad because it feels incomplete," said script supervisor Diana Valentine, who asked the cast to sign her finale script in between takes of shooting the show's last family dinner scene, which included almost every major character. Valentine, who joined the series in its second season, worked on "Beverly Hills, 90210" for its entire run. "It's not the same feeling I had when I was wrapping on '90210'. It feels incomplete, kind of separate. It's very hard."

I bought the first season on DVD on a gamble after catching an episode on free-to-air. It was OK; I couldn't really get into it enough to want to watch the later seasons. I'm impressed it made it this far though; it certainly didn't suck which is usually an indicator it'll get axed pretty quickly.

i guess its the usual case of investing 5 odd years into a show, and then waiting 2 to see the ending...
if we get to see the ending at all.....
and as if im watching glee after he abandoned nip/tuck
just setting yourself up for let down.....
and when a show goes crazy with wild plots doesnt neccasarily mean its out of good ideas........
the old diferent courses for diferent horses i fear.......

NURSE JACKIE is looking like its gonna be a brilliant show..
