How the hell did this show last 11 seasons? *shudder*..Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the first few seasons, especially the third one. But to say it went downhill from there would be like saying things went "a little downhill" after Hurricane Katrina. Now, I just watch the show to snark on it and laugh at it. That is, when I don't want to smash each character into a telephone pole! Everyone's acting skills went down the drain. To make things worse, they hired all these bizarre "supporting actors". Jessica Biel was the best thing about the show, but she had the good sense to get out. And then all these ridiculous plots revolved around her, and they occurred offscreen. Stephen Collins is a very talented actor, even the show's biggest haters do not necessarily dispute that. I'm glad he's getting a lot of work after this stupid show ended. Catherine Hicks, David Gallagher, and Beverley Mitchell had their moments too. All of their characters got on my nerves though, especially Catherine Hicks' character, "Annie Camden".
Now for the actors I can't stand. I never cared for Barry Watson. He is so overrated and annoying. Mackenzie Rosman was carrying scenes by herself when she was five but now I want to smack her! She just says her lines with those creepy eyes of hers. She hasn't been able to act for years now. Don't even get me started on Ashlee Simpson, George Stults, Tyler Hoechlin, or that excruciatingly awful Muslim girl who was on for two episodes. The twins were the worst though!! Even at age 8, they still speak like two year olds and they do everything together. I won't even get into the worst of it.
Now for the actual show itself. Events occurred off camera. Events that we don't want to see are the ones that do end up happening on camera. The nonexistent continuity is twice as awful, to say the least. The scripts were recycled and the writing just kept getting worse. Still, this "show", and I use that term loosely, will always have a place in my heart. Partly because I actually used to like it.
