Just finished watching this in full. I had watched when it aired for the first 4 seasons & then life got busy & I had stopped. I've finally finished it & I totally love the first 6 seasons. The cast is incredible, the writing is strong & the comedy mixed with heart was always on point. I had to check why the show ended & judging by what Jake (Nick) said in 2021 they got unexpectedly fired. The ratings were still strong enough to continue, S6 did dip but was still a very strong rating for a sitcom. I can't say I understand the decision & then to only give them 8 episodes felt like it didn't give the writing much choice where to go. The season 6 finale was so beautiful, had me so excited for what was to come.. Jess & Nick finally figuring things out & most importantly the journey of Cece's pregnancy.. the thought of Schmidt throughout, especially the day their child was born would've been so great to watch... instead we got a 3 year time jump that, for me, sucked so much life out of the show. Overall the final season hit in some parts but it just didn't flow as much as other seasons.. & Winston's dad never meets him? Felt like a waste. I adore this show, especially those first 6 seasons. All the dynamics & storylines are so brilliant. I loved Coach when he was around too, added another dimension to it. I'm very happy with where all the relationships ended, everyone with who I thought they should've been with was nice. Prank Sinatra making an appearance in the final moments was actually a nice touch! Doubtful but hopefully one day there's a reunion special or maybe even a network revives it & they just pretend S7 didn't happen! One of the last good sitcoms I've seen overall! Not sure I'll see one as strong again.
