Two of cable's most compelling dramas approach their final season

HBO's "Six Feet Under" and Showtime's "Queer as Folk" will both be closing the door to their lives following their upcoming season. Starting its fifth season early this summer, "Queer as Folk" has rightfully run its course. Starting as a cutting edge unflinching look at gay life in Pittsburgh, it has drifted from its defining storylines and raw look at life as a gay male and become somewhat stagnant and neutered in the past couple of seasons. Though it has been lacking something of late, it has remained the best show for fostering tolerance and educating heterosexual America on gay lifestyle that doesn't pander to traditional stereotypes, as is often the case in network television. The Emmy winning "Six Feet Under" is still firing on all cylinders approaching its fifth season. The funeral home based family business of Fisher and Sons has never failed to serve up innovative, quirky storylines and to emotionally dig its fingers into its viewers. It is still the finest drama on television today and will leave a considerable void that won't be easily filled. It will start its final 12-episode arc this June.
