teddog"When I finish next season (2005), it'll be the end of my 15th year, my
300th episode and a month later I'll turn 60," Smith said.
"I know an exit ramp when I see one." His decision comes barely a year after
federal-funding trouble nearly rolled Red's duct tape empire down a
different exit ramp.
A deep cut to the Canadian Television Fund put many series in peril until
actors protested and more money appeared.
This way, Smith says he's able to plan his own exit in late 2005 from the
character he first played 25 years ago on CHCH-TV's Smith and Smith show.
From the Winnipeg Free Press.
I figured it was about time that the series ended. It's been running out of steam for a while, but I'm still going to miss it. It's one of those things that has just always been here... since the first season back on CHCH to the newer ones of CBC.
It's so surreal to think that there actually will be an end.
This leaves only two fandoms of mine still updating, Sonic the Hedgehog (which will keep going forever) and Fullmetal Alchemist (which has at least 3 more years in comic form). The others are long dead (MST3K, PoG, Maniac Mansion) or are confirmed almost dead. (Red Green)
