The show was one of the greatest when it started. I loved it so much but they should have ended it around season 8 cos it all started to fall apart. I couldn't even finish the last season, it was pathetic. All the characters had strong parts and suddenly they ruin kids, Alex who was a genius and had some sought of social life turned into a sad lonely woman, Haley who became successful, having it all suddenly turned into a screw up, Lily became a teenage with no personality at all and Luke who was a lady killer suddenly became some kind of over grown moron. The only kid they concentrated on was Manny and somehow made his character flaw (the kid who loved girls to an almost creepy level, with the poetry spewing and constant roaming eyes for older women) even more pronounced. Like they are trying to hit hard on the stereotyping- "brilliant girls end up alone(Alex)" "cool kids end up as losers(Haley)" "charming boys ended up without any girl (Luke)". All the characters were played out. They couldn't come up with anything new. It was just a shame really that one of the greatest comedy shows had such a pathetic ending.
