Anybody else notice that there is not many cheesecake scenes in season 6 as there was in the other seasons?

Yeah I did notice but I'm not that bothered to be honest as I didn't miss them too much.

Never noticed it, though I love those scenes.

After season 5, they're more in the living room than in the kitchen. That's sad, 'cause they had some real funny line while gathered all together at the table!

I hadn't noticed that, but thanks for pointing it out. I can't say I miss the cheesecake scenes. They were nice to begin with but got a bit predictable and tedious as time went on. I'm glad they moved into the living room more in Seasons 6 and 7 as there's more to look at than the kitchen. I feel that they got the balance right between the living room and the kitchen in Seasons 6 and 7. I do wish, though, that they had used the bedrooms a bit more, especially in the later seasons.

Yeah, I had noticed this and it was something that made me a bit against the later seasons but I have to agree with Rob that they had gotten a bit predictable and it was good to see more of the living room instead of the opening/closing setting that it provided for a lot of episodes.

I think someone said this before but there weren't as many St. Olaf/Sicily/Blanche stories in Season 6 and 7. It became that experiences were worked into a conversation in passing comment instead of a straight out story. Not sure which is better, though.

So far, I haven't seen many Sicily or Blanche stories in Season 6 but there have been a few St. Olaf stories. Although, some of them have been mentions rather than full stories. One particularly funny moment was when in one episode from Season 6 (can't remember which), Rose ends up telling three St. Olaf stories simultaneously!

To expand on my comments about the cheesecake scenes. The reason I say they were predictable is that whenever there was a problem (which is most episodes) in the early seasons, you could bet that 90% of Act Twos begun with the girls at least sitting up at night, usually eating cheesecake. As I said, this was great to begin with but it became predictable after a while. It was nice later on to have different styles of dealing with problems - it added a bit more variety to the show. As much as I respect Terry Hughes' work on Seasons 1-5, I think the mixture of directors in Season 6 and 7 (Matthew Diamond, Robert Berlinger, Zane Buzby, Lex Passaris, Peter D. Beyt, Judi Pioli) was a blessing to the show as it made things fresh again. There were some really interesting camera shots in Seasons 6 and 7 which Terry Hughes never used.

One of the things I'm noticing a lot more in Season 6 is the glass roof bit at the back of the living room. I have seen good shots of that in the few episodes I've watched in S6 so far, and it's actually nice to see something a little different. It makes the living room look even bigger.
