Cliff Hangers..

This week is full of season finales for some of my favorite ABC dramas. Sunday night, I eagerly sat in front of my television at about 8:20pm (of course, 20 minutes after the actual TV scheduling so I could TIVO right through the commercials), as I began my night with the Desperate Housewives finale and Brothers & Sisters soon to follow. Both shows sent me messages of all kinds. Semiotics throughout, leaving me with the thought of what would happen next. I thought for sure after the last commercial break in both shows, they would reveal the answers to the messages they have been giving me throughout each show. Boy, was I wrong. After both shows ended I was left with countless amounts of questions; Are those really Gabby's girls? Who is that mysterious, yet familiar guy moving back to Wisteria Lane? And, do not even get me started on the last five minutes of Brothers & Sisters. What will be the aftermath to that horrible accident? The show left me hanging. I suppose this is just its way of gap filling, until the next seasons begin, leaving me to create story lines together in my head before then. This is just a way to keep me hooked even when episodes aren't airing regularly, and it works. Grey's Anatomy season 2 hour season finale is Thursday, and I am willing to bet the use of semiotics and gap filling will leave me wondering then as well, leaving me to anticipate the next seasons premier.
