Season Finales

"Scrubs" had its season finale tonight, even though it doesn't appear to have been advertised as such. (It doesn't even say so on the NBC site.)

"Friends" ends on Thursday. "Enterprise" ends tomorrow. "Arrested Development" is already over, as is "Tru Calling" and "Will & Grace." And I'm sure there are more that I'm not remembering.

(A variation on this theme is "Alias," which doesn't end for three weeks. Of course, ABC isn't airing any other episodes between now and then.)

Didn't TV seasons used to last longer into May? May is, after all, a sweeps month. I'm especially surprised by the early ending of "Friends," as I thought they would've wanted to air more than one new episode in May. What's going to fill these empty slots for the next three weeks?

At least "24" will last through the end of the month.
