So almost all of the television show have aired their season finales for this TV season. Some of them liked Lost and 24, aired their series finales. Did any of you watch the season finale of one of your favorite TV shows and just loved it? Or were you massively disappointed by how it ended? Tell me about it. Here is a list of canceled shows, just in case anyone didn't know: 24, LOST, Ghost Whisperer, Melrose Place, Romantically Challenged, Scrubs, Better off Ted, Flashforward, 10 Things I Hate about You (ABC Family), Law and Order, Cold Case, Accidentally On Purpose, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, The Forgotten, Miami Medical, Numb3rs, Heroes, Mercy, Trauma, and Ugly Betty. *ABC has indicated interest in picking up Ghost Whisperer and The New Adventures of Old Christine from CBS, but nothing has happened there yet.

Well I have watched alot of my favorite season finales now. The one that was the best was by far Grey's Anatomy. What a shocking terrifying season finale. I like so many others never saw it coming and it was a tearjerking show that I will never forget. I just can't wait now till September or October when it comes back. That would be great if ABC picks up Ghost Whisperer and the Old Christine. I just can't believe that they are cancelling Flashforward. I am so upset by this.

I saw the Grey's finale too. It was amazing! I hope this isn't the end for Mark and Lexi though. And I feel so horrible for Meredith. I've never understood why Ellen Pompeo doesn't get nominated for an Emmy for her role on Grey's. Sandra Oh (Cristina) and Chandra Wilson (Bailey) have been nominated, and Chandra has won. And they both deserve it. But Ellen as Meredith is totally underappreciated. Did you also watch V? ABC renewed it for 13 episodes next season.

I agree with you when it comes to Ellen Pompeo. She should have won an Emmy already. Its way overdue. As for the show V I started to watch it in the very beginning but didn't return to it after the Olympics. I was watching something else at that time.

I hate not seeing Ghost Whisperer. I enjoyed seeing that every Saturday night on CBS. I hope that a channel will show past reruns of this show Mercy was a pretty good show also and Law and Order I am surprised that Law and Order is gone.

They are now going to air a new Law and Order. Law and Order: LA. I don't think it will last long. As for reruns of Ghost Whisperer. Do you have the channel, Ion Television? It airs reruns of Ghost Whisperer every night. It's one of those hardly seen channels.

I hope ABC picks up Ghost Whisperer. I will miss Lost(although I was unhappy with the ending), Heroes, Mercy, Miami Medical, Numb3rs and Fast Forward. Supposedly Rob Morrow from Numb3rs with have a new show on ABC in the Fall.

I'm not at all surprised Scrubs has been cancelled.. once JD left the whole show sort of stunk! Though it did have a really good run. I am so peeved they cancelled The Forgotten already.. I thought that was a great show, and of course I did not like how it ended. The ending made it obvious it would not make a come back.. because Alex found his long lost daughter. I just wish it could have been more popular because I would have liked to have continued to watch it. As far as my other favorite shows.. Castle had a good finale, unfortunately I'm afraid that before long Beckett and Castle will begin dating which will totally ruin the show.. but at the same time it feels like there's not much more they can do without getting these 2 together, ugh!! I saw the season finale of House as well, though I've only just recently gotten into that show. I can't say that finale was terrific, it seemed like just another episode to me.. but I'll look forward to seeing new episodes next season. Tonight is the season finale of my absolute favorite show, The Biggest Loser. I'm very excited and can't wait to see who will win this time. I'm rooting for Daris.. though I figure Michael and Ashley have more weight to lose so it very well could be one of them. Koli was one of my favorites from the start, but his recent attitude problem has sort of turned me against him, even though he did apologize on his Facebook fan page.

Hey Amber! The only shows that I watched from that list where "Christine" and "Betty"! I wasn't too thrilled with the "Betty" Finale! I don't think it was final enough and I didn't see the "Christine" finale because I watch something else now at that time, so it's no wonder it finally got cancelled! The rest of the shows I just didn't watch, so sorry!

I don't watch much TV... in fact there are only two shows that I did watch... Legend of the Seeker (the ONLY high fantasy TV series on television) and Lost. Lost ended, and I liked the ending. Legend of the Seeker had its season finale... sooo... I guess I won't be watching TV for the next five months. Cool. More time to read books!

Legend of the Seeker was canceled. Maybe something else good can take its place.

I think that 24 to begin with wasn't a good plot for me, I thought it was pointless, and OMG Lost, I was LOST watching that dumb show...so confusing! That I have to say, good riddance..finally gone off TV! OMG my GHOST WHISPERER[ I just LOVE it, I don't know why it was canceled, now that was a good plot, but I think they messed it up when they killed off her husband off the show I did watch MELROSE PLACE, but it wasn't good like the original one, even though I didn't stick to the original either FLASHFORWARD: I loved the plot of it, but OMG it was sooooo boring, it didn't have any action! UGLY BETTY: Sad to have seen it go Heroes: I watched the first 2 years, then for my view, it started to get boring...

24 Jack did walk away into the sunset I think if he wants to do another one its open enough for him to do just that. Cold cases left ya hanging. Just really got into mercy, Trama and Miami MEdical they reall can bring these back same if the dont. and sure hope ABC picks up Ghost Wishpers

I heard they had the 24 movie script ready, but that they haven't decided when and if to start shooting. Would you go see it in a theater?

Well I must be the strange one, there is not one show you listed that I have ever watched, I might be missing out on some good Tv, I'mnot into shows like 24, or shows where it is about hospitals, most of the ones you listed as being cancelled looks like from their names they should of been. But then I am sure there was people that watched them. I take that back I have watched a few of Cold Case, but I never could stand Law and Order fromt he first showing. I have heard about Ghost Whisperers and that might be what I look at when it returns. I am not much on Tv, guess I still like the old shows like Sandford and Sons, or All in the Family, or Everyone like Raymond, there is no violance in them I guess is why I would rather laugh than cry.

You're not alone. I have never watched any of the ones I listed either. I LOVE Everybody Loves Raymond. I try to catch it on TVLand, and I own a couple seasons of it on DVD. I'll take that, Home Improvement, The Cosby Show, or The Golden Girls over the rest of the stuff.

I think people would watch shows like that again if they would only make them!

I watch several of the ones you listed. I knew that a few of them were not going to be on again. Things like LOST and Ugly Betty at least had closure to them. I hate when the season finale leaves you hanging and then you don't ever find out what happens next because it is canceled.

Woah! That's a lot! And Ghost Whisperer and Heroes, the 2 out of all that I watched. Some of the shows used to reach high viewership. Is it that bad that they have to axe it? And if you asked me whether I am upset it has ended, I am. The last season of Ghost Whisperer was quite well done. For Heroes, I must agree the plot has lost it original touch (for me) with the beginning of season 2. But then again, I felt that the writers' will is the key to create miracle. Is the future script for those shows so bad that they decide to axe them? It takes time for people to build up the familiarity with the tv show's characters. By axing them and/or creating new shows, I wonder are that confident that the new upcoming ones can create high ratings.

I haven't watched any of those shows you mentioned; although, I've recorded Flash Forward (just haven't watched the recordings though). It seems the only thing I've watched all season is AI, DWTS and Medium. And I picked the top three in DWTS, and although I knew Nicole would win, I was cheering for Erin. I also picked the finalists for AI at the beginning of the season and "won" again. I'm really hoping Crystal takes it, and although I think she beat Lee last night, I think Lee's fans will show up and he'll win. But I really want Crystal to win. I'd buy her CD; I wouldn't buy Lee's. A little off topic, but close enough... I'm liking the season finales so far.

I SO wanted Erin to win. And if she couldn't have, I wanted Evan to win. I know people say ballroom dancing is different, but Nicole had a heck of a lot of dance training, and that has to count for something.

Yeah, I wanted Erin to win too. She had the most issues to overcome and the furtherest to go from a dance perspective. She's still a winner in my mind... And I just plain liked her!

I love watching series like 24, Two and a half man and Amazing Race. Most of the finalies I have viewed are good. We should expect though that for some, like 24 there's always a clinch at the end to keep the audience in suspense and a connecting part of the next season. Althought a bit hesistant to wait for the next one, always enjoy the things you have actually seen.

You know Joanna Garcia, the actress who played the main character on Privileged? She's starring in a new half hour comedy this fall on ABC.
