Boomtown 4/20 Season Finale or will it be Series Finale
Well the show seems to be bowing outearlier than most so I'm assuming NBC is Pulling the Plug. If so it's too bad, consistanly it's been a well acted series. Loved last weeks ep featuring DA Mcnorris. Another good series gone before it was given a chance.

Hopefully it is only a season finale.

I think it just got a short order - 18 episodes instead of the usual 22. It's unusual, but not unprcedented, and could be completely innocent - especially considering that this is a series with a large, somewhat high-profile cast that could very well take longer to shoot each episode than the average drama.

Considering how high acclaimed the show is (it won a Peabody ) I doubt that it will get canceled.

The new TV schedules for next fall should be out in a couple weeks. Hopefully Boomtown and Angel will come back (I won't hold my breath for Andy Richter, but I have my fingers crossed.)

I like the series, and I hope it comes back, but last weeks' episode, while well made, totally disgusted me. The David McNorris character is a arrogant, whining, worthless piece of s**t.
If he hates his political hack job so much, he should just quit and do something worthwhile, like scooping dog poop.

Nah, he's arrogant and self-centered, but he's also a brilliant attorney. He's probably manic depressive, and is just incapable of doing things in a way other than extreme.
What I've liked about Boomtown is that they've done an absolutely fabulous job of balancing between continuing character drama and standalone crime anthology. From the description of the season finale, it looks like an episode that not only ties all the plot threads that have been running in the background all season together, but a newcomer wouldn't be lost watching it.

Well, I'm going to miss this show over the summer. Powerful tv. Never thought I'd like Donnie Wahlberg, but Band of Brothers and now this show have taught me otherwise. I'll definitely get the series when it comes out on DVD.
And I didn't think I'd have anything to watch on Sundays when the X-Files went off...
An upcoming episode has not yet been scheduled. Please check back later.

Yea, Stacy, I am with you. After Wahlbergs stunning and powerful role in BOB, I am on the Wahlberg band wagon. But have you noticed that they have used 4 different people from BOB, all of them played a preety big role in it. Anyway, I would assume that this show will be back next year. It is a really good show.
