Once both a critical and ratings darling of cable TV, Nip/Tuck's run is coming to an end.
[...]TV viewers won't see the "Nip/Tuck" finale, which finished shooting on June 12, for a long time, probably as late as 2011 [...]
In truth, the cast of the series that TV Guide asserted during its second season was the "coolest show on television" has been ready to move on for some time. "Nip/Tuck's" series finale will be the show's 100th episode, a rare marker in cable television (the only popular cable series that came close was "Sex and the City" with 94 episodes) that FX wanted to reach with its top-rated show.
But if the actors had had their way, the show would have ended in the fourth season when it was still the No. 1 cable series among 18- to 49-year-olds, a ranking it held for its first four years, and the critics were still in its corner. Though its overall viewership has been steady and strong over the years -- Season 5 drew an average of 3.4 million viewers -- it is now less popular in the 18-to-49 demographic than both USA's "Burn Notice" and TNT's "The Closer."

2011 is a freaking long tym!
They already finished filming and they are going to wait until 2011 to air the final epiosde? That’s lame
There are still 19 un-aired episodes that will span the time period leading up to the finale.
Keep in mind “Season 5 part 1″ started in 2007 and finished with “Season 5 part 2″ in March 2009.

yup 10 episodes at the start of 2010, and 9 episodes at the start of 2011!!
maybe you should rename your site 18to49
HAHHAHAHHA THis was published last year! I mean, I know this long time…
18-49 rules !!
Until you and the majority of the population hit 50! Which in the US I think they already have!
I agree with Tom. You need to rename your site. And 30 to 60 rules. They are the ones with the money.
We’ve known this for a while. The final 19 episodes are scheduled to begin airing in January of 2010 (9 episodes) and January 2011 (10 episodes)
Caree and Tom, it’s not our site that places the emphasis on that age demo. It’s the advertisers and the networks. Though it is not true for everything (Nick, Disney, etc), particularly when it comes to scripted drama targeted at a broad audience, 18-49 is the focus. As long as that is the case, you can count on:
1. it will be the most widely publicized age demographic information by the networks themselves
2. when it comes to demographic ratings, sites that publish ratings information will most frequently publish the 18-49 info (see #1)
Ummm…Monk just hit 100 episodes. Do your research LA Times. SATC is not the only series to “come close.”
Monk has never been as popular or critically acclaimed as Nip\Tuck. Deservedly so. They really aren’t even in the same category.
The Closer will stand at 73 episodes after this season, Pysch will be somewhere in the 60s episode range. I think with cable shows becoming more popular that we’ll see them with more longevity (for better or worse).
“Monk has never been as popular or critically acclaimed as Nip\Tuck. Deservedly so. They really aren’t even in the same category.”
I’m not sure that’s true at all.
Monk was the most popular basic cable show back in its early seasons.
Monk also could be classified as critically acclaimed, given the fact that Tony Shalhoub has a shelf-load of Emmys because of it.
..and it is not canceled! Here it says “Nip Tuck is Cancelled Canceled”
I thought “The Shield” was quite popular, how many episodes did it have?
The SHield had 88 episodes….and all of them were great <3
