Ok so I never really watched the show while it was on tv, just a few episodes here and there. But, I have a lot of down time at work so over the last few weeks I have watched all 9 seasons on Netflix and I have to say. It was quite good, I mean it really was quite good. I literally just watched the finale and I found my self tearing up. I often get caught up in TV shows and the stories they tell. That's just the way I am and im the same with books. But, 9 seasons, that's 9 years that this show ran for? To watch these characters grow and evolve, to get to know and become attached to them. It's really quite something. I know that they are just characters and that the actors are most likely not that way in real life. But, if you ask me, if the story doesn't evoke real emotion, doesn't stir feelings inside of you. Then it wasn't really worth taking the time to watch in the first place.
