I got my Season Five set two days ago and watched every spare moment.
Just finished "Always." What a satisfying finale. Every commitment (often five years in duration) to every single character we cared about--paid off. Marriages--and marriages one day to be--all around. Coach and Tami still the best, most faithful husband and wife in television ever.
No American television series was ever more heartwarming without ever, ever being smaltzy or sentimental. This was long-term narrative at its most authentic, its most real.
How I will miss it. That it got five seasons was a miracle. What Jason Katims and company did with those 76 episodes even more miraculous.
