[QUOTE="Toni, post: 68300, member: 82"] One of the better-written, acted and directed American drama series, "Thirtysomething" ended its run with an open-ended episode that featured its main couple in deep trouble, after a 4th season that gave such unmemorable moments like the unpredictable death of one of its male leads, the unbelievable relationship of one of the ladies with a Mr. Burns-type older man, and other unfortunate plot twists.
