-Dramatic Finish-

Tough Crowd's final episode ends with Colin Quinn rambling on as his guests and the audience file out. Alone with the exception of the camara operator, Colin finally 'acknowledges' that everyone has walked out on him. "Shut up" he says to nobody, and you can scarcely hear him.

I thought this was an odd decision. I would have prefered a final shot of Colin and four of his buddies clustered around a smoking iron barrel, shifting their feet and going back and forth the way they did in the studio. For me, implied poverty is better than implied abandonment.
