Watched it religiously for about 7 years - 2001 to 2008 ish?

If so - Favourite time frame/story line/year?
Loved the Mitch and Teri days, probably that's around the time when I started watching it.
Cried my eyes out when Mitch died, but mostly because my grandmother had died of a similar thing about 3 weeks earlier :(

Will you be watching tonight?
Haven't watched it for about 8 months, but will be watching it tonight being the final show O:)

Other
In real life instance related to the show,
I was very sad when Mark Priestly committed suicide.

I'm glad it's over. Although likely to be replace by something worse from America.

How about Channel 9 and their infatuation with Two and a Half Men? :evil:

Like a lot of Australian dramas, it was good at the start but went for about 5 seasons too long.

Others that did this:
- Blue Heelers
- McLeods Daughters
- A Country Practice

Amongst many, many others.

I would argue that even Underbelly should have stayed as 1 season.

To often Aussie TV 'flogs a dead horse' with shows like this.

The best Aussie Drama on TV at the moment is Highway Patrol. Comedy gold.

Never got into AS.

But I'm sure Seven has another medical/legal/police procedural drama in the works.

All Rafferty's Heelers? Blue Saints Rules?

:)

I'd even argue it should've been a two-hour movie focusing on the feuding Moran v Williams clans...

I've been writing a pilot for a while MP, "Cops and Doctors", should encompass all that is "Tele - drama" :roll:

A lawyer will be needed to sort out the messy divorce of the Female Cop and the Male Doctor...!

I'm thinking of having a Wombat in the show too... ;)

Get Agro as the male doctor and I reckon you've got a winner.

Used to watch it all the time during the first 2-3 seasons, then lost interest, but have got back into it over the last 18 months, stopped watching cos the story lines go a bit close to home a few times.

Watched the last 30 mins last night (thanks to ETSA for the power going off halfway thru rafters) and was disappointed with how it ended, was almost like it was left open ended for a possible spin off or return.

Future 'event telemovies?'

Like BlackJack (Colin Friels), Halifax (Rebecca Gibney) and Small Claims (Claudia Karvan) a few years ago.

Wouldn't surprise because AS consistently pulled a million plus viewers.

Even in it's dying days.

Though sometimes it's best not to resuscitate a patient...
