Soon, the day-to-day operations of the Such Is Life household will hold less meaning, less brightness. The spark will be gone, birds won't seem to be singing as loud...

That's right, ladies and gentlemen - TV's "season finale" time has arrived. All our favorite shows are winding down. Sadly, some are going to be gone for good this year. It's enough to make a person hold daily wakes on the sofa (in prime time), offering potato chip sacrifices to the TV gods...

Some shows knew in advance thay they were taking a long final walk on a short pier. Others discovered their demise after the regular season wrapped up. And, like most things in nature out of our control, horrific shows remain on the air. The TV gods are clearly an ironic bunch...

However, good bad or indifferent programming aside, we the viewers are left to sort out the empty shards of our lives, until the new season begins again. Oh, we'll surivive. I imagine we'll watch shows we never had any interest in before, maybe even start watching our local news broadcasts. In the fall, we'll have to discover new shows, to replace the ones we lost this season.

If we're lucky, at least one will feature a family of blue collar, wise-cracking squirrels, that co-exists with humans. THAT"S entertainment!!

Hey, if the Geico cavemen can get their own series...

Chow for now!!
