This is my first, and prob final review. I leave that for others to create.

But i just cant stand to see the final episode of this, maybe the greatest there was, beautiful series to be unreviewed.

If you havent watched it. Do it! I promise you that it will change your life forever!

As a guy this is kinda hard to admit. But I cried!

I cried my eyes out, not just for the sentimental part of me, or for the happy ending. But I cried beacuse I knew that I would never ever see another episode of the worlds best tv-series!

My love to everyone involved in this fantastic creation!moreless

Best Series Finale I Have EVER Seen!!

10

By ILuvLuke, Oct 11, 2006

This episode of Ed was magnificent. All aspects, from the wedding in the bowling alley, to the son Shirley sang for Ed and Carol. This series kind of sprung up on me, I saw trailers for it when I was watching something else, and I was immediately hooked, with the first episode that I watched. These people are great, the characters were strong and the plots were always surprising and well written. I really mean what I say in the summary, I have never seen a series finale that has left me so satisfied. I just have this image of the characters of Stuckeyville living out their existence in some alternate universe, dancing along to “My Little Corner of the World” for all eternity. I also agree with the guy above me (or below me, I am not sure of the placement) that says that he cried. I was crying tears of joy, just hoping one day that I will find that one special person that just lights up my world the way that Carol and Ed light up each other’s. Ed’s toast at the wedding applies to the series, it is a blend of what is and what should be, and the final ten dollar bet was classic!! Every aspect of the final show will forever remain in my mind as the best series and series finale on TV. I really don’t think that it can ever be topped, and yes, I have seen Friends and Will & Grace finales already and they don’t hold a candle.moreless

QUOTES (8)
ADD QUOTES
- Ed: I've always believed that life is divided into two parts: what is and what should be. And that, with a lot of effort, some hard work, and maybe a little luck, there are moments in your life when the two parts touch. When what is and what should be are the same. I guess I can't help but think that standing here next to Carol, next to my wife, and in front of all of you friends and family, all of us here inside this crazy, beautiful, dumpy old bowling alley which I love, I can't help but think that this is one of those times. And I thank you.
