Bienvenidos Spoon ( finish running away w/ Dish?),
How about a finale that laid an egg? The most
annoying one, I thought was "Family Ties" finale. It had Alex
leaving his family to go work on Wall Street. Big deal.
Nothing else was resolved so what was the point of having one?
Here's the one I would have had:
Alex is frantically looking for a executive job after
his (finally) fed-up parents tell him they're kicking him out
as they are sick of all his constant put-downs and if he
thinks he's SOO smart and they're not, he can support himself!
In the finale, Stephen accepts a job of being a senior
manager for a science and learning cable channel that's
headquartered in the town.
Elysse has been hired to restore the aging downtown
warehouse district into a trendy contemporary pedistrian
mall.
Mallory has been hired by a top Paris fashion designer to
become a full partner. She worries about leaving Nick but then
it turns out that. .
Nick has been commissioned to paint the Eiffel Tower with
portraits of all the notable French from Charlemagne to
Catherine Deneurve so that will take him a few years while
Mallory gets established and, as they'll each be independently
wealthy , they get married before the show ends before they
jet to Paris.
Jennifer gets a lucrative recording contract and is able
to convince the studio to have her produce her own original
songs right in her own home.
Andrew reads up on the complete history of the U S and
as a result declares to Alex that he is totally renouncing his
"conservative" beliefs.
So with all his family becoming phenomenally successful
and <he> heading for homelessness and unemployment after a
promising academic start, Alex decides to fly to NYC to
interview with the only company to return his calls- the I H
Conglomerate. He makes his desperate plea to the unseen CEO
and President who gets him to accept $1000 a month at 60 hours
a week <far> less than he originally thought acceptable and
would have to work for much longer hours but as this is the
<only> job Alex has gotten an offer on and he's due to be
thrown out, he desperately accepts but then asks the CEO if he
can recommend an affordable place for him to live. At which
point the CEO turns around in his high-backed chair and props
his feet on the desk and declares,
"It's me ,Skippy! My real name is Irvin Handelman and while
you and the rest were thinking I was a total loser, I've put
together one of the top 20 companies in the nation! "
"Skip-p-py? " Alex nervously stammers," Y-y-your in charge
of the I H Conglomerate? "
"That's right. And I'll let you stay at my 5th Avenue
townhouse for $500 a month. You can't afford anywhere else on
your salary! "
