Traffic Light -- Series Finale -- "Help Wanted" -- 5/31/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Mike and Lisa hire a hot young babysitter for Tommy, but the skimpily clad teen brings more teen angst to the household than the Rileys can handle. Meanwhile, when a disabled food-delivery guy (guest star Mitchell) accidentally intrudes upon Callie's naked dance party, Adam finally confronts her about her habits in the apartment. But when they find out the delivery guy is also a computer whiz and decide to hire him, Adam learns a lesson in indecent exposure the hard way. Also, Mike and Adam try to convince Ethan to get rid of his hideous necklace, but he finds comfort in a new fling who does not see the necklace the same way in the all-new "Help Wanted" season finale episode of TRAFFIC LIGHT


Episode 13 of 13

For anyone who still cares, the final produced episode airs tonight. This was originally supposed to air the 17th, but was pulled.

Enjoy!

I'll miss this too. Good thing I saw this thread - I forgot that they had 1 more episode to air, so thanks for posting it.

Had a nice surprise last night on the DVR. Didn't know there was an episode left. Too bad it's gone.

This show while not setting the world on fire, was actually pretty good.

but pretty good no longer cuts it

at Mike's reactions to the babysitter.

Probably the funniest episode of the series. Sucks that it got canceled.

It took a little too long to get pretty good. It wasn't until about mid-season that I fully enjoyed it.

Same here. The humor was just not over the top funny or not enough fart jokes to get the Neilson's interested. Too bad, at least we have the racier original The League coming back.

I actually laughed more when he told the boyfriend to get his hands off Lisa's ass!

Seeing as it had 13 episodes, they really wasted a lot of time getting "pretty good".

I was using his words How about it took too long to hit its stride?

It's the price of being a Fox show. You don't get 6-7 episodes to find your place without getting the axe. Take Happy Endings for example. If ABC aired the episodes in production order or 1/week, it would have suffered the same fate. But ABC is more willing to help a new show than Fox ever has been.

I'm convinced the only reason this show aired all 13 episodes was because FOX was the production company and had nothing else to air. Truthfully, I don't see this show fitting any network OTHER than FOX.

I'm also convinced that that show only got picked up because ABC produces it themselves. Otherwise it'd have been canceled. And why DID they air that show so ridiculously out of order?

Agreed on both accounts. I loved the fact that when he wasn't in the hot seat he gave an obligatory response and continued playing video games.
