The people who deserve the bitching-at are the programming executives at ABC. I'm under the impression that when the series went on hiatus the first time the last six episodes (including the two-hour finale) were partially written and shot. By the time the word actually came out that the series was cancelled (May 22), the final two episodes must have been ready to go also. With the production costs for one episode being as high as I've heard, do you think ABC gives a damn that it wasn't wrapped up in a nice little ending? All I want to know is where the show's going to show up next... And when do the t-shirts and bumper stickers appear? "How's Annie?"
