I have just loved this show, so I bought all the DVDs from the US, so I could keep to watch over and over.However, season 7 just spoilt it all for me. Yes, I know army people move around, and they have to change, but the way this was done leaves me speechless. All the main and good characters (almost) gone! And all this was done so obviously to save cash.What we got in their place was a whole load of Z list, and much cheaper and much inferior actors, to fill their void.So much so, I found myself fast forwarding a lot of it, especially the two whole episodes spent moping over Claudia Joy, and what a mouthful that name is!Only one other series has let me down so badly, and that was True Blood!

My son and I are writing this because of the show, Claudia Joy.my daughter name was Claudia,she. Was born Feb.12. She just died on my birthday Feb.20.we just buried her Feb.27,2013.Her husband name is Michael she has one living child. Only a son instead of a daughter.She also had a bad heart and she was a diabetic.when he husband and son came home,they found her laying across the bed with a towel wrap around her dead.everything people were saying about her in the show.they said at my daughter funeral,it was so amazing it was like watching our life and what had just happen to us on TV. So very unbelievable....I saw she had three or four best friends,so did my daughter,she had many friends,these four friends were so awesome in helping me with so many things,each.and every day.just like they did....wow

I liked the show and am happy David got adopted by the Burtons and Roxie is pregnant, but please hire some better writers. This show is not as good as it was before.I do not like the whole situation with Hector and Gloria. Why does the couple of color have to have so many issues.Trevor's reaction to Héctor hitting that guy for touching Gloria was unrealistic and out of character, he knows he would have done the same thing. Also, no one would foolishly put their marriage in danger not listening to her husband like Gloria did and working in the kind of environment she works in. Why did you change the way the show came on?

Where do I begin? It is definitely written by women for women. The psychiatrist acts like a woman; it's the only way they could make him one of the girls. Everything is fraught with emotion, even the soldiers are overly emotional. While it is OK for men to be emotional ... sorry but, THAT emotional. And wouldn't the men have a few issues with this handsome psychiatrist hanging with their wives when they are deployed? The inaccuracies bother me big time. Those of you in the service please correct me where I am wrong but --- Frank made it to Lt. Col without a graduate degree? Didn't Michael get his second star awfully quick? really, the wives of enlisted men and officers hang together as these women do. So, they ignore the hierarchy of the military? The illegal immigrant wife of a serviceman gets forgiven for immigration fraud when there is nothing in the law that would allow this? AND the wife of the post commander goes off the reservation to help her? OK, you get my point.My big problem is that it focuses the military experience on these whiny and simplistic wives and ignores the realities of war. It is my observation that the significant others are far more concerned about their loved ones safety than is portrayed here. It gives us all the self-serving jingoism regarding service in the United States military, service that is handled much too simplistically and in an embarrassingly politically correct fashion.These men and women and their wives and husbands deserve a better show. Too many of these brave men and women return with injuries that they would not have survived a decade ago or hidden impairments like PTSD and are greeted with terrible discrimination (have you looked at how physically inaccessible our colleges are to those with mobility impairments?). The problems they face are intense and complicated.Every problem on this show, however, is solved quickly and easily. Roxie betrays Trevor while he's away (not sexually but, emotionally). One evening of talk, hugging, and sex and --- surprise --- all is forgiven. Really? What's her name, the brunette, is grieving the loss of her son, runs away for a couple of days, and --- she's fine!! Really? Joy doesn't tell Michael about her surgery and, well, he's terribly understanding. Really? My wife does that to me and, after being assured she's OK, I get pi$$ed at her for not trusting that I can handle it. These men can go to war and watch their buddies get killed but, are too fragile to handle these things? Really? OK, you get my point. The men and women who risk it all to preserve our freedoms and the loved ones that they leave behind deserve better than this trite, simplistic, and Oprahfied show.Oh, yes. I watch this garbage because my wife loves it and I love my wife.
