What do you think? Will you be tuning in for this Army Wives special?
At the end of the show, it said it was dedicated to somebody that had passed away. Who was it ? I didn’t catch the name.
I did a search of the name and found out that she was part of the camera crew and was killed by a train, if I remember correctly.
Why didn’t Catherine bell participate very disapointing
I watched the reunion. I missed Catherine Bell in it. It was nice seeing everyone. It would have been nice if they would have mentioned why Catherine wasn’t there. I will miss Army Wives.
I love this show, have seen all 7 seasons. A lot of tears shed. It will be missed dearly. Love all the original characters!!!!
will not watch lifetime anymore. Why get involvedina show that
they’ll just cancel..
So, where was Catherine Bell in the Reunion show?
I will be watching it.can’t believe they took the show off the air. But when they started having the main characters leave the show and new ones coming in that was a big change for us who watched the series from the first show.I watched all the shows on Netflix. and love them still. Thank u for letting us be part of army wives family for seven yrs
I thought this show was one of the Best Ones on T.V..until everything was changed last year.I looked forward to all the regulars and when a person watches every season, you feel like your part of the show.It is hard to watch a show change so drastically .Maybe that is why they are canceling , but Bring On The Regulars Again,and the Ratings will hit the top…I already have my DVR programmed for Sunday, and I am looking forward to seeing what happens.I will miss the show ..There just wasn’t anything that could compare to this Great Show…
I am looking forward to it. I enjoyed the show and the original characters. I adjusted to the new characters and some were a welcome addition and some not so much.
i hope so im so addicted to this show keep on aireing
I watched every episode before my husband got in the navy I know that maybe it’s not the same but it help me a lot in this part of my life being a military wife means being alone sometimes and it’s not easy, so I could identify with them, I’m truly going to miss this show but what I’m gonna miss the most is that I watched it with my husband every night. So long ladies you will be missed.
I will watch the retrospective. I wasn’t overly happy with the new cast, but I would have watched every episode ever made until the day it was cancelled. I loved this show from day 1 until the very last episode, but I want to know why Catherine Bell isn’t doing the farewell show. She was the only original Army Wife to last the whole series and she was on contract for an 8th season so why wouldn’t she do the reunion show? Very disappointed with that. I hope that’s just a misprint.
Yes! I have watch at the shows! It has been wonderful to watch…but I miss Mrs. Holden!
this show got a bit stale for me the last couple of seasons but i’ll miss it just the same. i agree with dji that it would have been better to do a two hour wrap up movie instead but i will probably watch the farewell show anyway.
i did like the new wives they brought to the show. they could have done 1 or 2 more years.
Yes, a wrap-up movie would have been much better. I’m very disappointed in their retrospective.
nope . won’t watch. why didn’t they do 2 HOUR MOVIE TO WRAP IT UP?
