Nip/Tuck Season Finale

And Season 3 is done. It was a really outstanding 2 hours to end the show, but Season 3 was easily the weakest season so far. Fragmented story telling is the best way to describe it. Things happen and then are totally left behind until 4 episodes later. So while the season had it’s moments, it wasn’t as intense and enthralling as the past 2 season arcs were. The end was done really well, at least 3 twists and 2 set ups for next season. There are some pretty glaring plot holes, but I choose to take it in stride and just say fuck it, give me season 4.

We are definatly getting a season 4 and the ratings for this season and the season finale in particular were record setting for FX.

“Nip/Tuck” ended its third season with more young adult viewers than any other single episode of a cable series this year. Two-hour season finale averaged a 3.0 rating/9 share among adults 18-49 and 5.7 million total viewers from 10 p.m.-midnight Tuesday. FX said “Nip/Tuck’s” Tuesday numbers also made the episode the most-watched single telecast among adults 18-49 in the cabler’s history. Third season of “Nip/Tuck” remained the highest-rated series on basic or pay cable among adults 18-49. Among all viewers, “Nip/Tuck” was cable’s fourth most-watched show of 2005, behind “The Closer,” “Monk” and “The 4400”.

I hope Ryan Murphy doesn’t fall too far in love with making movies so we can get more seasons.
