This is truly a special show and is a unique throwback to what the then-WB was all about and I had high hopes that it could survive the crazy politics of TV's by the number gambit. I started watching Dawson's Creek (never saw it back in the day) and as early as Season 3 it really started to get good. Life Unexpected in a real sense was good very early on and all of its episodes total about the equivalent of a single 22-episode season. It has never really been given a chance to fully develop. I truly believe that if the CW gave it a full season (Season 3) and also let Liz Tigelaar fully develop the show - it will bring in fans from across the spectrum and had become the CW's signature show for at least 5 full seasons. Alas, the show is coming to an end and that's just sad. It's going to really make me evaluate my commitment to this network after a couple of my other shows (One Tree Hill and Smallville) come to an end this coming Spring. Bottom line - Hey Ms. Ostroff - wake up and smell the roses, hon! You messed up - bad! Fix it!
