Switched at Birth to end after season 5.

ugh good that girl who plays April in gilmore girls annoys the hell out of me

She annoys me a bit less since she finally stopped rolling her eyes sideways and honking "UHHHHHHHH" before every. single. line. Drove me up the wall.

It's the only show I watch on that stupid network (〒︿〒)

wait is this not the show about the two twins one rich and the other not
wtf i was so surprised how long that show was on this explain so much

well yes technically they did have that divide too but the main focus was that one is deaf and the other isn't

oh i just saw "twins" - they aren't twins. you're prob thinking of the lying game?

it's a shame they didn't renew that show!

Aw. Switched at Birth was one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Hopefully Migo is still around for the final season. Because his arms.

i'm shocked it lasted 5 seasons considering it's one of the only shows that has ever had such a direct and upfront portrayal of ASL/deaf culture. nyle, SaB, and spring awakening are showing me that people are truly interested in my culture and language. it might not have been the best tv show but it changed the tide on dialogue about deafness and disability rights so i'm proud of the cast and crew for working this long and hard on the show

I've never heard an actual deaf person's opinion on the show. It seems most people who studied and are fluent in ASL seem to dislike the bad sign language on the show. I'm glad to know you appreciate it in all its glory.

it can't be very easy trying to condense all the sign language into short sentences for both the subtitles and for timing's sake so i understand why it's sloppy sometimes. i do wish the hearing people had become better as the show went on like one probably would have irl but i get that they aren't holed up in their trailers 24/7 studying sign language

i'm a huge supporter of the show, especially because one of my friends from college is on it and i'll support anything that shows deaf culture/asl in a positive light and is realistic about issues happening in our community right now such as deaf institutes having funding cut, divide between cochlear implant users and culturally deaf people and so on

my brother's hard of hearing and he hates the way they sign lmao.

for me i hate how it's used by my relatives to be like ~omg i know all about you now, you're so inspiring~ they don't even know that sign language is different all over the world. honestly fuck hearing people who started to be like ~i want a deaf boyfriend omg~ and other embarrassing, fetishising shit

It did, but would you have rather have had a Deaf, non-oral person as Daphne? I am hearing and I could not stand Katie L's fake deaf accent. And many hearing people I know STILL because Katie is closer to a Hearing person playing Deaf than Deaf playing Deaf.

OTOH, perhaps Spring Awakening would not be on Broadway without this show.

since the series started with ty and bay, it needs to end with them.

I need to catch up on this past season, but this show has always been my guilty pleasure.

NOOOOO but I love it. ;____; I guess 5 seasons is respectable, especially since they were each stretched out over like 900 months in that weird ABC Family way [I will not acknowledge that ridiculous new name], but I'll miss it. I started watching in a semi-trolly way, sure they were gonna portray the Deaf character in a cringey way, and then I saw Marlee Matlin was involved and I was like 'OH SHIT, this might actually be good.' And now I am painfully invested.

So are they gonna hurry up and throw ~Bemmett back together now? I've always assumed they're endgame.

I think they are done forever after the Mexico episodes

I love the show but it's time. Will Bay and Emmett be endgame? My shipper heart won't let them go even though things got so terrible.

mte exactly. i loved them so much when they were good that i can't let how shitty it's gotten get in the way with it.

I stopped watching after Bay and Emmett broke up the second time. They were so cute and good together but they kept throwing in bullshit drama and I was pretty much done after the second time it happened.

I'm gonna miss the show

I wonder if they have time to redeem Emmett and make Bay/Emmett endgame. Can Daphne make it 10 whole episodes without doing something stupid? Will John finally drop dead so Kathryn can be free?...only time will tell

Seeing that they'd shot 6, almost 7 episodes out of 10 before the cancellation announcement, I'd say the end is going to be very open :(

90min finale could always time jump to fix things quick

LMAO!!!!! nnnnnnnn
TBH, if this is the last season, Daphne should just go out on an epic note and have a fuck up to end all fuck ups.

lol I love this whole description

this is the last show on ~freeform~ that i watch. hope it ends well!

just got into this show...i'm suprised how good it is

super interesting how it explores deaf culture and expands on deaf ppl's experiences.....something i've never seen

I recently marathoned this a couple of months ago, bummed its ending but I think 5 seasons is enough to wrap up a TV show

Nooooooo. I love this tween drama. And Mr Selfridge just ended on me too. My heart is broken.

I'm so sad. I binge watched the show and now that I'm finally caught up, it's going to be cancelled. I absolutely love Switched at Birth, it's so special. The characters feel like family to me.
