i turn HBO off on sunday nights after ROME
Hollywood Reporter reports that HBO\'s Extras won\'t be returning for a third season. Instead, the hit comedy series will end with a special finale, the details of which are still being worked out. Ricky Gervais and co-writer Stephen Merchant seem to have a penchant for ending things after two seasons, plus a finale. They took that same approach with The Office, the original British series that spawned the current hit show on NBC, and it paid off.I\'m sad to hear it. It\'s a great comedy and most sit-coms can\'t hold a candle to it. Still, it\'s refreshing to hear about creators ending a show on their own terms, and not on the network\'s, which often have the most arbitrary and boneheaded reasons for ending shows. In any case, I\'m really looking forward to whatever Gervais and Merchant will have planned next. -- Dan, Amazon Screening Room
