Well, it was good while it lasted. Seriously, if the writers hadn't of jumped the shark this season, as early as season four, I would have liked this show to continue. But if they continued this show, that would have just destroyed whatever I liked about this show in the first place, at the pace they were at.
This season was mediocre, and just not the What I Like About You norm, and I finally understand why this was the series finale. This finale of course seemed too rushed, with ending it in such a fairytale in under 22 minutes. That was the HUGE problem with this episode. Vince & Holly get together, Val & Vic get married, Gary & Tina get together, Lauren has her cop. Why did everyone have to end up with someone?
This just goes to show that this show converted in to a show about relationships at about beginning of season three, if not earlier than that. An okay series finale, just didn't deserve to end this way. Deserved a better ending.moreless
In the series finale, Valerie finally has her dream wedding to Vic, but there are a few problems. Val, Holly, Tina and Lauren are stuck at a spa where an escaped convict is being searched for, making the four of them late for the wedding.

TRIVIA (7)
ADD TRIVIA-
It's a bit of a stretch for Holly to have thanked her sister for taking her in four years ago "when no one else wanted her." It was clear that Holly's father very much wanted her to move with him to Japan in the pilot episode; she just wasn't prepared to make that kind of drastic change. Evidence was also given that Holly's grandmother would have taken her, but the main point was that living with Val was the best thing for Holly. That doesn't mean that nobody else wanted her, though.
-
The WB never flashed a note of thanks to the cast and crew of the series. This was done for the final episodes of Angel, Dawsons Creek, Felicity and even Grounded for Life (a series they bought from Fox).
-
It is revealed that Holly is 19 years old in this episode.
-
The last line of the series was by both Val and Holly. They both said "I still love you!"
-
One of the reasons for complaints about the ending was the Gary & Tina love angle. It was hinted at the end of second season, ignored during the third season, and aside from one episode never developed during the final season. In fact where was Tina's boyfriend when Gary kissed her?
-
Unlike most continuations of "What I Like About You," none of the cast members said "Previously, on What I Like About You," although there were clips from the previous episode, "Now and Zen."
-
The four main characters who weren't given last names throughout the show's run were: Lauren, Vince, Jeff, and Peter. However, Jeff was given the last name Campbell on the season 1 DVD packaging.

ADD NOTES-
International Air Dates:
Czech Republic: January 17th, 2011 on TV Nova -
After this episode aired, The WB got a lot of hate mail bashing their decision to cancel the show, and asking why they "gave such a dumb, unrevealing ending."
-
Amanda Bynes (Holly), Wesley Jonathan (Gary), and Jennie Garth (Val) are the only cast members to appear in every episode. In second place is Leslie Grossman (Lauren) who appeared in a total of 69 out of 86 episodes. These are the only 4 cast members to make an appearance in every season.
-
To many fans, this episode was a let-down. In the summary released weeks before the episode aired, it said two things that didn't happen:
1) Lauren finding a love solution.
2) A guest dropping dead at the wedding.Many fans were disappointed in The WB for releasing this false information.
-
The series ends as the WB's least-watched series averaging 2.4 million viewers. This marks its second straight year with that title.

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
In one of the last scenes of Amanda Bynes' movie 'What a Girl Wants' her character Daphne is dancing with her Dad at a wedding. Then her boyfriend Ian (Oliver James) - they are in conflict - appears and asks her to dance with him.
One of the last scenes in this episode is similar: Holly is dancing with her Dad on Val's wedding, then Vince appears and asks her to dance with him.
(It is also a 'spoof' that in the German dubbing Vince & Ian are synced by the same voice speaker) -
Val refers to her horse as "Wildfire" as in the horse in ABC Family's drama Wildfire.

Vic mentions to Val: "Hey, did you notice? No Star Wars!"
