Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale (2007)
Member Rating:  
Enraged at the critical evisceration of his highly rated sitcom "When the Whistle Blows," an irrational Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) resorts to extreme measures in a desperate attempt to balance respectability with fame. Though television viewers tune in to his show in droves, Andy can't stand the fact that the critics think he's a no-talent hack. Convinced that he'll never achieve a modicum of artistic respectability, Andy does the only thing that seems to make sense in his blind rage: He cancels the show, fires his do-nothing agent Darren (Stephen Merchant), turns down every role he sees as "beneath him," and even lashes out at his best friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen). Before long the reality of what he has done gradually begins to sing in, prompting a depressed Andy to ponder whether success was really worth all the trouble. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I think the show jumped the shark a bit in its final season with its sitcom-parody and self-absorbed analysis of fame. The very best parts of this series were celeberities satirizing themselves and of course, Ashley Jensen. The finale was downright depressing. Do yourself a favor and stick to the first season.

    An excellent finish. Not always funny but than great comedy is tragedy as well as laughter.

    Good ending to show, if it had to end. Same good laughs.
