The Finale

A great ending to a great show, it had everything. It gave viewers the emotional closure they deserved. A lot of shows biff it when it comes to sticking the landing. I can't tell you how many comments I've written about this very topic. Check me out in the discussion threads on Reddit, IndieWire, Variety, Deadline, TV Guide, TV Insider, IMDb, Hollywood Reporter, and Den of Geek.

On the other hand, it would have been a perfect ending if Guillermo had become a vampire. They really should have finished filming at that point.

But the vampires really had a great time these years; they've had lots of laughs, sucked lots of blood, and...

It seems that a constant problem for any show-runner is how they end a show. This is no exception.

The normal insanity of WWDITS is lost a little with some attempt at finalising six seasons of brilliant mad-cap writing.

Yes, there's allusions to Cravensworth's Monster and his anatomical detachment, but it's incidental. There's no oomph deserving of the wonderful vampires (and whatshisname) that inhabit their soon to be conquered Staten Island.

I loved this show so much -- I think it's my favourite comedy of all time -- so this was a bit of a let down.

But, that doesn't change the fact that the show -- on the whole -- is brilliant.

I'll miss it.

I was so hoping for much more than this.

Maybe it's my fault because I wanted one of my all time favorite television shows to go out with a nuclear blast.

It was a pop rock at best. 😢 I'll be honest. A few times I wondered if they didn't just let AI write this one. Seriously. I considered that.

I will always love this show and this in no way takes away from that. Nothing ever will.

Just sad mainly for what could have been.

But I'm sure that's much easier said than done.

I have the maddest respect for Jemaine and Taika and they will go down as two of the greatest.

These guys did an incredible job.

Laszlo's monster, or more specifically his libido, is causing problems in the vampire house leading to some extreme solutions being planned. Nandor wants to build a lair under the house and become a crime fighter. These issues all become meaningless when the household receives some big news.

The show ends. I want to say sadly but it is ending at the right time.

For five seasons it was brilliant. Most importantly, for five seasons the the quality and freshness of the show did not waiver showing that the writers hadn't run out of ideas.

However, Season 6 did feel a bit stale and didn't quite have the zip of the previous seasons. It's still great but just not in the same league as what came before. A good thing then that it ended as otherwise it would definitely have overstayed its welcome. Kudos to the producers for pulling the plug when they realised that the show had run its course.

This, the finale, is consistent with the standard of S6 with an episode that is hardly a bang but is not a whimper either. There's still some good comedy, some interesting character-based sub-plots and, befitting a finale, a tying up of loose ends and closure to the series.

Farewell.

Last night I decided to watch all three showings of the Finale. Without giving away too much, we are hypnotized into a scene of a perfect ending. It was a clever, well done ending to one of the greatest movie endings of all time. The show goes on. My sappy self cried at the first end, but then it comes back a second time, giving a much happier ending. I walked off during the commercials of second showing. Hypnotized again, I was starting to believe it worked. There was a second Hypno-scene. Did I miss something during the first watch? I decided not to scour the internet to find out what was going on and watched the third showing. Sure enough there is a third scene. If you watch on Hulu, they show what I believe is the happiest version. One fans would be content with and maybe expected all along. If you didn't get Hypnotized to watch all three original showings, you can go to the Extras to see the alternates.

I'm sad my Vamily is not being documented any longer. And I can mostly agree that it was time to end. They seemed to run out of steam, or maybe they were just drained.
