“Nip/Tuck” will eventually be a thing of the past. For those of you who are fans, don’t worry! You’ve still got until 2011 before the sixth and final season airs which will consist of 19 episodes. The announcement came from FX president and general manager John Landgraf Tuesday during the network’s presentation at the TCA Press TourTelevision Critics Association.

Asked why he decided to bring “Nip/Tuck” to an end, Landgraf said he doubts any FX drama would ever run beyond 100 episodes, saying that
serialized dramas have a much different storytelling model than nonserialized shows such as “Law & Order” or “CSI.”

“If you tried to do 150 episodes of ‘The Sopranos,’ you would begin to diminish the quality of those shows,” he said. “The David Chases
(‘Sopranos’) and Shawn Ryans (‘The Shield’), they’re taking on social commentary and grand sweeping questions. If we want to go after that brass ring, we have to accept they have limited shelf life.”

“Nip/Tuck” has already aired 14 episodes of its current fifth season; the remaining eight are set to premiere in January.

Now who would’ve ever thought that plastic surgery and all its drama would get cut??!!!
