It looks like it has been eight years since I have watched this episode.
It is a good episode and it gives the characters some closures. And even though I like the ending overall, I still have the feeling to being left a little unsatisfied:

What with everyone dying or going to their certain deaths.

In this Emmy-winning comedy's hilarious third season, Michael Bluth finally realizes that it's his Uncle Oscar serving time in prison, not his father. Reluctant to spring Oscar due to the effect it may have on the family business, Michael decides that the only fair thing to do is to find his father and place him under house arrest. Yet once found, George Sr. insists he was tricked into working with the Iraqis, leaving Michael no choice but to investigate his father's outrageous claim. But it isn't until Michael and Buster go to Iraq on a rescue mission to save Gob that the depth of the devious plot is revealed-and Michael learns which family member is the real brains behind all the madness.

I know that they are currently planning to do another season of this series, eight years after its cancellation, but I still count this as the series finale (at least for now).
I liked it. As I did like the whole series. But I can understand that it had a hard time staying on the air.

A great conclusion to the series. Throughout the 24 episodes we saw the girls going through their three years of Japanese high school. And in this episode they are graduating and it is fairly emotional. This episode suggests that the friendships they have built throughout this series will last even after everyone will go their separate ways.

And I really liked how true to the manga they stayed with this series, even though the manga was a four-panel comic strip and you wouldn't think it would be fitting for such a series.

One of the best series finales ever. Set about twenty years after the events of the series, it makes up a very nice epilogue.

Together they form Beck, a dynamic band that just might be the salvation of the stagnant music scene. Sure, it's going to take hard work and obsession to make it, but there's something special in the sound. If the guys can stay true to their vision, the world awaits. Music can change their life, sometimes against your will. Just remember... When it's live, anything can happen.

The Ben Stiller Show: The Complete Series (1992/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Warner Home Video (United States) Length: 299 min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Plot:
The Los Angeles Times called it "Rip Roaring Hilarious." Entertainment Weekly called it "SCTV with Better Hair." The Fox Network called to cancel the show after twelve episodes.

Now for the first time on DVD you can see all twelve episodes of the Emmy® Award winning The Ben Stiller Show as well as an originally unaired thirteenth episode AND nearly an hour of unaired sketches, outtakes and rare, behind-the-scenes footage with commentaries by the entire cast and writing staff.

So sit back and watch as Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk lead an inspired array of sketches and deft parodies with guest stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Miller, Flea, Garry Shandling, Susan Anton, and many, many more.

The Ben Stiller Show – you will wish it had survived an entire season.


The Ben Stiller Show
Season 1.13 Episode 13
Writer: Ben Stiller (Created By), Judd Apatow (Created By), Judd Apatow (Writer), Robert Cohen (Writer), David Cross (Writer), Brent Forrester (Writer), Jeff Kahn (Writer), Bob Odenkirk (Writer), Dino Stamatopoulos (Writer), Ben Stiller (Writer)
Director: John Fortenberry
Cast: Ben Stiller (Host/Regular Performer), Andy Dick (Regular Performer), Janeane Garofalo (Regular Performer), Bob Odenkirk (Regular Performer), Francis Bay (Gertrude), Shannon Dobson (Cupid Woman), Dana Gould (Otto), Sherman Hemsley (Himself), Whit Hertford (Kreepee Kid), Jeff Kahn (The Edge and Jacques' Assistant), John F. O'Donohue (Engineer), Isabel Sanford (Herself), Jim Trenton (Cupid Man), Howie Mandel (Himself)

I didn't find this last episode all that funny. Maybe at the time it was something refreshing, but the jokes that work have been seen many times since (or maybe even had been already at the time). Which is sad because this series had a great cast. Best one probably is Bob Odenkirk, who later did Mr. Show.
I don't really remember any of the other episodes, except that I also didn't really enjoy the first episode when I watched it in my pilot marathon.

I have to skip "Berlin Berlin" for now, because I have lent it to a friend. I will watch its finale when I get my set back.

Plot:
Join one of TV's most stunning breakout heroines as the action-packed series Bionic Woman leaps onto DVD! From executive producer David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) comes this gripping re-imagining of the universally beloved character.

Jamie Sommers is a hard-working woman struggling to take care of her younger sister. But after a serious, life-threatening accident, Jamie is saved by a top-secret procedure that makes her much more than just an ordinary woman... it makes her superhumanly bionic. Starring hot newcomer Michelle Ryan, as well as Miguel Ferrer (Crossing Jordan), Molly Price (Third Watch), Will Yun Lee (Witchblade), Lucy Kate Hale (How I Met Your Mother), and guest stars Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy) and Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), it's a non-stop thrill ride unlike anything you've seen before!


Bionic Woman
Season 1.08 Do Not Disturb
Writer: Jason Smilovic (Writer)
Director: Gwyneth Horder-Payton
Cast: Michelle Ryan (Jaime Sommers), Miguel Ferrer (Jonas Bledsoe), Molly Price (Ruth Truewell), Will Yun Lee (Jae Kim), Lucy Hale (Becca Sommers), Kevin Rankin (Nathan), Brian Markinson (Vincent Aldridge), Michael Brock (Nick), Brent O'Connor (Valet Parker/Matt), Ben Cotton (Javier), Julia Keilty (Hotel Desk Lady), Jonathan Kralt (Dreadlock Dude), Juno Ruddell (Spa Therapist), Sherry Klassen (Gift Shop Clerk), Justin Sain (Bodyguard #1), Gerald Paetz (Bodyguard #3)

As this series was cancelled very early in its run, this last episode is just another run-of-the-mill episode. Though I enjoyed it. Nice is, that at least we got a nice subplot of how Jaime has to decide if she should tell her little sister about her new work and her powers.

Birds of Prey: The Complete Series (2002/United States) IMDb | Wikipedia Warner Home Video (United States) Length: 542 min. Video: Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Subtitles: English

Plot:
Who will stand up to villains now that a heartbroken Dark Knight has mysteriously vanished? Never fear, New Gothamites, a trio of champions is ready to take wing - and Helena, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, is among them. She calls herself Huntress and crime is her prey. Teenaged Dinah is the youngest of the group, learning as she goes and gifted in clairvoyance. And overseeing the awesome threesome's high-tech nerve center is Batgirl. Left wheelchair-bound by The Joker, she has reinvented herself as Oracle, the team’s cyber expert. Huntress, Dinah, Oracle: They are the Birds of Prey. Fighting together. Living together. And soaring into adventure together in 13 breathtaking live-action episodes.


Birds of Prey
Season 1.12 Feat of Clay & Devil's Eyes
Writer: Adm Armus (Writer), Kay Foster (Writer), Hans Tobeason (Screenwriter), Adam Armus (Story By), Melissa Rosenberg (Story By)
Director: Joe Napolitano, Robert J. Wilson
Cast: Ashley Scott (Helena Kyle/Huntress), Dina Meyer (Barbara Gordon/Oracle), Rachel Skarsten (Dinah Lance), Shemar Moore (Det. Jesse Reese), Ian Abercrombie (Alfred Pennyworth), Mia Sara (Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn), Shawn Christian (Wade Brixton), Robert Patrick Benedict (Gibson Kafka), Ian Reed Kesler (Chris Cassius), Kirk Baltz (Clayface), Patrick Fischler (Dr. Will Kroner), Steve Hytner (Dr. Franklin Rominic), Brad Blaisdell (Guard #1), Ted Underwood (Guard #2)

This is another series which was cancelled early. But here they at least got a chance to a last two-parter to conclude the main storylines of this season. Which is a luxury not a lot of series get to do in similar circumstances.
So they had to put a lot of stuff into these episodes, which makes the conclusion of these storylines a little rushed. But at least we get a resolution for them. Like the two love interests for the two main characters. One of them finally get together after a season of teasing. The other gets to find out about the crime fighting and all (thanks to Alfred where he pulls the same stunt he did in the first Batman movie with Vicky Vale). Another thing which comes out of nowhere: The resolution of whom killed the mother of Huntress.
The music replacements in this DVD release is something which really bothered me. One thing I mentioned before is the removal of the great theme song. The other big replacement is the final showdown. In the original aired version, they played T.a.t.u.'s "All the Things She Said", which worked really well. Also it was the first time I had ever heard the song. Although I have to admit, you would not notice these replacements, if you haven't seen the original version.

On the Bionic Woman....
I was waiting the entire run of the series for her to tell her little sister. Just when they were finally getting around to it... they canceled the series. I was so disappointed. I don't know how they would have gone about it... but the way I would have enjoyed seeing it go down is Jaime deciding NOT to tell her... but then end up having to when her sister sees her use her bionics in one way or another. Having the decision forced onto her.

I also enjoyed Birds of Prey quite a bit myself!

I too enjoyed "Birds of Prey" quite a bit.  I think it could have grown into a good series given some time.  Of course it could have just imploded.  The season we have is fun.

As I just finished watching this series, I am posting this review out of order. This last season was a nice watch. I really enjoyed it. And we got a nice conclusion to the series.
And I have to admit, that I am happy that contrary to rumors I had read when this season first aired

(click to show/hide)

none of the main characters dies in the finale. Though I am a little disappointed that they didn't give Sarah her memories back. Only hinting that she may get them back.

Plot:
Set in England at the end of the War of the Roses, we soon find out that the history we know is a Tudor fiction. In fact, Henry VII did not actually win the battle of Bosworth Field; he lost and though Richard III died in the battle, his nephew King Richard IV (who certainly was not smothered while still a boy in the Tower of London) reigned on for some years. The story focuses on Richard IV's younger son Prince Edmund, a sniveling coward who calls himself the 'Black Adder'. Assisted by his grungy servant Baldrick and the moronic Lord Percy, Edmund plots his rise to greatness.

England 1558-1603. The filthy genes of the Blackadder dynasty bubble back to the surface of the melting pot of history as Lord Edmund, arrogant peer-about-town, swaggers back with a big head and small beard in search of grace and favour from stark raving mad Queen Bess. Accompanied by a small rabble of be-ruffed riff-raff - bottom-breath Baldrick and pea-brained Percy - the serpentine Lord Blackadder lower the whole tone of England's Golden Age.

This is probably my favorite Blackadder series. And also the final episode is great. It also has an unexpected twist at the end.
This episode guest-stars Hugh Laurie, you will become a regular in the third series.
