The length of the Episodes were shortened, the story line was forced and very scattered, too much time invested into Doug, and the sister makes for a very lack luster and watered down version of Mrs. Hodes. I watched the entire season in an afternoon and for that alone I was very discouraged. The Finale alone made me furious, skipping to three months ahead after the show had just skipped 3 years. This was once my favorite show and the only thing I could find to fill the void Buffy left when it went off the air. After season 5 I have regretted buying both season. The show has taken outlandish to a new level and has absolutely crossed the line over to ridiculous.
