r.i.p.

i've never been attached to a television show the way i was to hbo's oz and six feet under- nothing has been able to replace oz for me since it ended and now i feel at a loss after six feet under ended last night.
all that's left for me now is jon stewart, and i love him, but it's not the same.
today i can't stop missing this show and thinking about this last season, and i feel so ridiculous...
walk good.

We actually dropped HBO at the old apartment when "Oz" got cancelled. I hope those bastard HBO bigwigs felt that one in the ass.

For the record, I loved OZ (any show with man on man rape in the opening credits has to be hardcore), but it didn't hold a candle to six feet under. This last season was the best one yet, and the final show - oy. I couldn't get the ending out of my head for the last day and a half. It keeps popping into my head and catching me off gaurd, much like what happens when someone you know dies. I am not trying to compare a tv show to actual death, just making a comment on how strong the show was and how well and unapologetically they dealt with death.

Never saw SFU, unfortunately. Maybe I will check out the DVDs.

In contrast, Oz ended on a low note, unfortunately. They clearly got canceled before they planned to, because they were ramming half-seasons worth of plot into single episodes towards the end. The last couple eps had a sort of "ahh, let's just get this over with" rushed-ness too them.
