After 100 episodes, Rules of Engagement has ended. CBS bounced the series all over the schedule during its seven season run but Rules still brought in viewers — often taking over for other sitcoms that had failed.
The network recently cancelled the show but, fortunately for the fans, the cast and crew knew this season would likely be the end and crafted a true series finale.
In the last episode, surrogate Brenda gives birth so Audrey and Jeff will have their baby, Shea. Actually, they’ll have two babies because they discover that Audrey is now pregnant.
The wedding of Adam and Jennifer is interrupted by the birth so Adam arranges an impromptu ceremony in the hospital.
Russell is to blame for a bureaucratic glitch that causes Timmy’s work visa to expire. In a rare selfless act, Russell proposes to Timmy and marries him so that he can stay in the country.
What do you think? Did you like the series finale of Rules? Are you sorry that there won’t be an eighth season?
I just found this series on Prime and I’m just finishing the last episode. I love this show and I’m so disappointed that this is the last episode. It’s hard to make me laugh but this one keeps me laughing. I was never a fan of friends and I did like Big Bang Theory but Rules of Engagement is so much better. I’ve never liked David Space or the actor that plays Jeff but they are awesome in this show a safe all of the main characters. Funny, Jeff and Audrey and Tummy are my favorites.
The writers made a mistake. In a previous episode, Timmy announced he was already a citizen when Russle held a party for him.
My husband and I discovered this on Roku, and have been watching 3 episodes a night for weeks. Just got to the finale, and it was satisfying, yet left us wanting more. I love the chemistry between the actors bc it shows in their performances as their characters! Would love to see this get picked up again and continued, especially now that streaming channels are so successful.
Super spoiler alert***** I didn’t like the ending!!! I hate to say it. The second marriage was great! Freaking hilarious. Saw it coming, I know they aren’t actually gay just better friends than they realized. The thing that irked me was the lack of reaction when the baby was born… They spent so much time adding about the baby that ugh. I was excited… I was probably more excited than they seemed. Then they made a much bigger deal of Audrey being pregnant than the baby right in front of them. I know they were just trying to fit it… Read more »
Would love to see the series revived. Fantastic sitcom
Yes, this was a great show always made me laugh. Such a shame they axed this and true to form as all the best stuff gets a short shelf life.
Bring it back. Please!
I’ve always loved Rules of Engagement. The actors, characters and storylines were great! Many sitcums have terrible endings. This one didn’t. It would have been great if they turned to the camera and gave the viewers a farewell.
Would of liked to see if Timmy marrying Russell actually worked since his visa was already expired technically . How, once finally married, if life changed for Adam and Jenifer in anyway. And would of been kind of fun to watch Jeff and Audrey as new parents after 16+ yrs together, balancing their used to lifestyle, careers and different attitudes towards life in general.
This is where they messed up. Timmy was already a u.s. citizen so there was no need for them to get married. There is an episode where Timmy says his u.s. citizenship was very important to him.
with the ending as it was, the stage is set for a wild return , though I really doubt we will ever see one. This was a very good show, seven years of episodes sort of the proof of that. Reality shows are really limited and crime tv is really all the same. Such a limited amount of entertainment in other peoples misfortunes.
How could Timmi’s work visa lapse whe they already said the he was a U.S. citizen in a previous episode where Russel throws him a citizen party?
That threw me off as well. That episode he told Russell..he been a citizen for ten years already
Because the citizen party was just a rouse for Russell to sleep with the party planner.
In a previous episode, Russell arranges for a woman he likes to organise a
This is a great show with well developed characters and I would love to see it back on. I am so tired of CSI this and that..and all the voice shows and idol shows and dancin with the stars. We need more shows like this one!
Definitely Yes! I would love to see Rules of Engagement come back on. ❤
Still my favorite show!
This last episode ended great. I would love to see this show come back on again!
This is the same way”King of Queens” ended…
They adopted a child & Carrie became pregnant.
