What a shame that after a great 7 season run, Rules of Engagement has been canceled. I was extremely saddened when I herd the news. In a world where good funny tv shows are few and far between an other great shows like the office and HIMYM are bowing out that a truly funny show like this be forced to stop. Shame on you CBS for canceling one of my favorite shows but allowing a show like Meet The Miller's or Two Broke Girls be renewed or keeping around Two and a half men without Charlie. Big bang is only good

Absolutely one of the best shows I've ever watched. Witty dialogue, fantastic character development, and great casting. Spade and Warburton fit their roles incredibly. I rarely watch the 7th season because it saddens me to think about how it's ended and will never be back.

Definitely an under rated show... The cast is incredible I hope to see all of these guys working together again at some point. At least we got 100 episodes but I wish there were more!
