"Working on 'Six Feet Under' has been enormously fulfilling creatively, but if the show is about anything, it's about the fact that everything comes to an end," Ball said in a statement. "I will miss working with such enormously talented writers, cast, staff and crew, and I'll always be grateful to HBO for allowing and encouraging us to tell the story we set out to tell in a challenging and uncompromising way."
I think it ran its course about two seasons ago, so I'm pleased with this announcement. What will HBO have left to entertain people? They have lost Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, and The Sopranos. Sucks to be HBO.
