Water Rats has always been an expensive show and a couple of years ago big budget cuts were made which Nine promised would not affect the way the show appeared on television - which was true. You have to remember Water Rats ran for seven seasons and some big names came and went such as Catherine McClements and Colin Friels. The show was strongly based around these two characters initially and despite getting actors equally as good a lot of loyalty to the show went with those character. Seven years is a big achievement and you have to remember all good things come to an end. Everyone wants reasons for the shows end but the fact is that a culmination of various reasons came to a head and it finally couldn't keep going any longer. This isn't to say that it, in anyway, went under it simply ran out of steam. It was a great show which came to the end of the line (excuse all the cliche's I'm tired). Not many shows make Seven years and Water rats did it in style to the very last episode. It will be a show I remember till I'm old enough to watch reruns in my - 60's? Just like Cheers or MASH
