A fitting end to one of the best TV series to come out of the early 2000s.

This is the last episode of Home Movies, and fans of the show were lucky in a sense: The crew knew it was coming to an end, and as such, they had time to kind of wrap things up.

This is personally one of my favorite episodes, and for a lot of reasons. McGuirk was always the funniest characters on the show, from the first scene of the first show (which was supposed to be his only appearance, incidentally, but H. Jon Benjamin and Brendon Small played off each other so well they kept him around. Imagine a world without McGuirk and quake, as I do!) to the very end, here. It's a McGuirk heavy show, and all the better for it. While the kids show their latest movie to a focus group consisting of Junior, Fenton, Walter and Perry, they start to wonder why they've been making movies at all. Concurrently, Paula's enlisted the help of McGuirk to build the new grill he helped her pick out. Things come full circle, with Jon continuing to be the kind of father figure to Brendon that he's slowly become, the kids perhaps realizing that they never needed the movies, just each others company, and the kind of long, improv, scenes that made the show great to begin with.

Brendon's camera breaks, and all of us lose a little something. A fitting end.moreless

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES
- The Josie adoption thing is most likely due to speculation on the internet. Ever since the earliest days of the show, internet fans were curious as to Josie's age combined with the time between Paula and Andrew's divorce and her race. This episode (being the second last) probably purposefully put that in to appease the overanalysing hardcore fans.
  EDIT SHARE
- It's revealed that Josie is adopted.

- Brendon's Filmography: "Timmy" - A lonely boy who loses his senses turns into a celebrity but can't handle the pressure...or something like that.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Tommy: The rock opera Timmy is an obvious satire of the rock opera Tommy by the band The Who.
