breaking bad could've gone on for 10 seasons and I'm eternally grateful that it didn't
How many did it go for?
@@jiggleballs55 5
it would’ve become a soap opera at that point so thank vince gilligan
The Breaking Bad approach is so much better. End the show when the story is over. If you want to do more, make more stories in the same universe, like El Camino and Better Call Saul. That way, if any of them suck (hard to imagine with Vince Gilligan), it doesn't retroactively taint the good parts.
Breaking Bad did it the right way, leaving you craving more. I watched all 6 Seasons of Better Call Saul before ever watching Breaking Bad. And the pitch perfect ending of BCS made me wanna watch BB, and after the ending of BB, I imminently went to watch El Camino. It's all really well written and presented in these manageable chunks, even if binge-watching all of them. You just know that when watching BB, Gilligan maybe did not know how to get to the end at first, but he knew the show will end. And Better Call Saul ended up being one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
I think that Bojack Horseman is an interesting case when talking about endings. Netflix warned the creator that they might decline new seasons without giving him any sort of warning or anything to be able to wrap up the show; so the show is written in a way that any season finale could be the series finale
But in the end they actually told him that the 6th season was gonna be the last, so that's why it feels like an actual conclussion to the show
@@GPoh_99 I wouldn't want to imagine Bojack horseman lasting that long, near the end it just felt like the show was getting less enjoyable
@@GPoh_99 I'm pretty sure that he said Bojack was supposed to have maybe 1 or 2 more seasons to completely wrap up the show with it's natural conclusion before they cancelled it.
Also, he had a previous agreement with Netflix about only doing the show if he could continue it to what he deemed a natural conclusion, only to get hit by a cancellation without warning.
The only reason why we even got that last season was because Waxberg and the actors _literally begged_ Netflix for the opportunity to at least finish it somewhat properly.
That last season was supposed to be longer, with a true final season following it, to make for a truly satisfying ending.
I think the ending was fine, but I can totally see how two seasons would've been better to finish it properly.
@@lukewarmwaterr I didn't witness a single season that was less enjoyable than the last, but that's just me. I am glad it ended when it did, though. There's dignity in ending things before the premise is run into the ground, even if it wasn't really their choice. But I don't think they went out on a weak note in any way.
@@GPoh_99 BoJack had a very satisfying ending but I could definitely have gone for more if only because the characters did evolve and grow, even BoJack as much as he just goes over the same self destructive cycle changed a lot, so it definitely could have gone longer, I wouldn't say no to a post-prison season, but maybe the show doesn't work if BoJack has genuinely become a better person.
I reckon this is a good idea for ways to do things, but if a show sets off from the beginning to achieve a point that’s an ultimate goal, then you HAVE to have the right pacing. You can’t blow through a 20 episode season for the plot of sometjinf that should take 7 seasons. Imagine if they escaped the island on Lost on the end of the like, 10th episode. That would be LAME! It takes buildup! I’m not saying it was justified to go on as long as it did, just making an example.
Gravity falls intentionally ended after only 2 seasons despite it’s heavy following, because they didn’t want to destroy the essence of the show. Which is really cool
Yes although I think one more season out of them wouldn't have hurt. But they had a structure to stick to and I like when shows do that, too.
It should have been one more season it was way to bloated at the end
Gravity Falls was probably the first time I had to grapple with letting a show go, but I’m actually glad that it ended when it did. A few of my friends have suggested that they should make a sequel miniseries or maybe a spin off on a different channel following Ford’s adventures through dimensions or Dipper and Mabel as adults, but I think it’s not the road to go down. Honestly, I’m fine with what we have, including the spin-off comics and books.
True. I would like to see more of Ford cause of the way the arc of the show affected his screen time- maybe through a 5-7 episode mini-series that’s independent enough to not effect the rest of the show (basically all filler, but with Ford).
Exactly I'm said it had to end but it's what had to happen to keep the quality of the amazing story , just like the good place its ending was already planned and had it end after foure seasons when they could have milked another season

The Good Place has one of my favorite endings ever. It was beginning to feel stretched on, but they ended it in just an incredible way.
Agreed. 5 seasons was enough. Great ending tho. One of the only endings that made me cry besides Tbbt and Modern family
@@anshitgupta1294odern family had me bawling
@@anshitgupta1294 there's only five 4 seasons though
Strange, I thought it felt like they ended it justttt too soon. Like I think it could've gone maybe a few more episodes... The most perfect pacing out of most existing shows though. It's hard to get pacing that is absolutely perfect for everyone I guess, but still such a beautiful show!
They ended it at the perfect time, after the point where things could still be explored greatly but before it started to drag. Ended after long enough to give us enough great episodes, and knew to end before it spoiled.
The audacity of that 70s show continuing on after toper left is absurd. There is no show without Eric. He's the quintessential character. He's the glue that holds that friend group together. It was ridiculous in season 8 to still have them hanging out at Eric's house after he was gone.
I have a theory that they kept going and totally ruined Eric’s character was probably because of Danny Masterson.
That 70s Show is my favorite sitcom. I’ve watched through it entirely at least 20 times, I just constantly restart it when I’m done. (I’ve also enjoyed Netflix’s That 90s Show.)
I don’t hate the final season. I feel so bad for Josh Meyer, that people despise Randy. I find Randy to be a decent character who fits in well.
I think where they fucked up was not keeping Hyde and Jackie together. They could’ve been the glue to distract from Eric being gone. They’re my favorite couple, and Hyde is just a great character you really root for to be better and have a good life.
Jackie and Fez was the most off putting, bad taste in the mouth to the viewers and I think it really skews the likability of that last season.
@@TheMightySnul I grew up with That 70s show and it's always been in my top 3 favorite shows. I Think the last couple of seasons were extremely lackluster, and forced. In my opinion It all started to go south when they got a new actress to play Lorie, Hyde got a new dad (who happened to be black 🤦)and an annoying sister charecter, Donna got blonde hair, kelso became a cop and a father (than eventually left all together)..stuff like that. The first 5 seasons were amazing. The last season was horrendous. I personally *hated* the Randy charecter .
@@TheMightySnul I also always really liked Jackie and Hyde's relationship. Breaking them up and having her end up with fez was one of the worst decisions the writers made.
@@KD....why do you care if they were black, weird energy to put out if that’s what you’re actually saying

Interestingly enough, Ricky Gervais ended the original "The Office" (UK) after only two seasons and a couple of additional special episodes because he loved what he and Stephen Merchant had created and didn't want to run it into the ground. If you leave it up to fans, they will say, "Keep going!"...until they hate you.
@@JDelvaMusic Nah you just don't real comedy
@@KingRogue it was boring
It clearly wasn't boring otherwise there would not be an American adaption of it...which had Gervais consulting on it. Although I can understand if it's not for you.
@@JDelvaMusic You have poor taste. It's objectively a fantastic show.
Fans should never get to dictate what happens with a project. You can’t always please all the fans with demands so it’s best to just make the story you originally wanted to make.
Whenever I rewatch the office I instinctively skip to the finale after “Goodbye, Michael.”
You definitely miss some of the best episodes of the whole show if you do that… but to each his own.
I always watch season 8 and then skip season 9 until the last three episodes. Feel like season 8 is still pretty interesting and funny enough for it to be worth a watch.
suffering through whole 2 seasons
definitely makes the Finale to be memorable throughout your life
@@icarysss Agreed. I actually like season 8 quite a bit. 9 on the other hand....
I quit watching it after that season ended. I liked the episode where Dwight was the acting manager. After that one they should have cut to the finale.
So basically.... “you either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain.”

Breaking Bad is probably the exact perfect length for a drama show. That entire show feels like every last scene was planned before it even began. Never feels like they change course in the slightest through 60+ episodes. And they left enough room for an equally long (arguably better) spinoff that also completely justifies its length. I appreciate a show that just tells the story that needs to be told.
It’s not surprising that most of the best dramas on television are less than 100 episodes long. (Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men, etc.)
@@urmoneylolmad men is the goat
schitt’s creek is a good example of a show ending at the perfect time
Ngl this Drew character has been on this channel for way too long. The writers need to wrap up his storyline and finish this guy up.
this comment needs to go viral
😂
Drew is much more suited as the deuteragonist in the story. His sarcastic quips and cynical outlook can help in contrasting with Danny’s happy and pure outlook on the world. Really something magical could be produced from that folks.
*Are you suggesting that Danny needs to come to this channel?*
Show should've ended when he died in the season 4 finale. Resurrecting him in S5E3 just showed that they were running out of ideas.

I honestly think Danny Masterson had a lot to do with why Topher left the show. Since his trial a lot has come out about how toxic that set was and it’s pretty well documented that all the kids on that show, except Topher, hung out together outside of the show. It’s also we’ll document that all the boys, except for Topher we’re big partiers who all have questionable relationship histories and more than likely knew what was going on with Danny the whole time. It’s also been noted that Danny disliked Topher because he didn’t bow to his influence like the others did. Danny’s ex-girlfriend has also said that Danny bullied Topher on the set and that he would be abusive towards her for even saying hi or trying to be cordial to Topher. If all this is true, which I honestly think it is, then I don’t blame Topher for not wanting to be a part of that environment and getting out as soon as his contract allowed him.
He and Red were also the only actors not involved in Scientology and therefore were the ones that didn’t defend Danny.
@@KanyeOeste911 dude even Red wrote a letter for Danny. Laura and Wilmer didn’t.
The fact that no one mentioned Pretty Little Liars being the perfect example of a show that lasted too long makes me sad

gilmore girls is such a good example of the character downfall, its so hard to watch the first few seasons and see rory as the innocent child instead of the entitled person she becomes
I honestly wouldn’t have been mad if Gilmore Girls ended at the end of season3 when Rory graduates highschool.
it's crazy to see Jess of all people help rory realize who she is, she becomes so entitled, and for some reason dates logan
The revival absolutely ruined the show for me, and it had so much potential.
Even as a kid I realized how terrible of a person rory became, it becomes impossible to rewatch as all they seem to do is praise her as an amazing person.
lol i was thinking of gillmore girls the whole time i was watching this video.
9:40 I would have absolutely LOVED to see an Office storyline that involved Pam & Jim breaking up because of her addiction to cough syrup, Kevin & Jim getting involved, and Kevin cooking their child. Who wouldn't?

One of my favorite examples of a show ending at the right time is Brooklyn Nine Nine. The last season was all about wrapping up the varying storylines and I loved it. It was so cool to see the writers be able to actually do what they wanted to do with the story
One of my favourite show endings is over the garden wall. Even though its only ten episodes i feel like they ended it perfectly leaving enough room for interpretation but not too much to make the show feel incomplete.
They created this magical world and explored it just enough to not ruin the mystery behind it.
How I Met Your Mother is an example of a show that had a concrete ending plan (and partially shot) early on in the show’s run, but the show stretched on so the original planned ending didn’t fit like it did before, but the creators were so attached to that ending they still used it despite it no longer making a satisfying conclusion.
That is 100% it. So right
Ugh. Still angry about that
Tbh. I still was happy as hell that he ended up w robin even though the whole wife thing went down
I don't understand why there was all this build up for Robin and Barney to marry and then they just divorce lol
I was just gonna say the same thing. They dragged it out to far and I was attached to the characters and they ended it in a bad way. Especially dedicating a whole season to Barney and Robin’s wedding then having them get divorced in the last episode.
Everybody’s listing their shows and I’m still laughing at “do drug and have kiss”

The Good Place has probably one of the best endings for a tv show I’ve ever seen. They could’ve just kept going with that show forever if they wanted to because of the way it’s set up. They made the story they wanted to though and finished it in a really satisfying way.
The good place is an example of *the* perfect show in my opinion
Except the ending was extremely abrupt to me. Like "ok everyone I'm gonna go stop existing now. Bye bye." Loved the show tho.
@@gileee yeah I can totally see that. There’s a part of me that wishes we got one more episode with them just hanging out in the actual good place. I also just love the characters and want to see more 😭😭
However I can also see why they chose one long episode. I feel like no matter what, it’s going to feel cut short as we don’t see the centuries they spent living in the good place.
I hate That 70s Show for ruining Hyde and Jackie's relationship. AND, I can't believe they tried to continue the show when the MAIN CHARACTER LEFT.
13 reasons why strikes me as a show that could have just ended after season 1
What do you mean ? I think cyborg Bryce fits perfectly in a plot where a girl killed herself. And not only did they make him a cyborg they also tried to redeem him in season 3.
And it would've if they followed the novel.

@@nashbyrd4020 I wish it were ...God i wish it were a joke lol
13 reasons why could have ended BEFORE the first episode and it would not have been missed.
my older sister who hasnt finished the office yet heard you say Jim divorced Pam found out he was bi and married Kevin and had a daughter, and she started crying
I beg your pardon?
i shouldn’t read comments while watching the video. i’m very upset.
ahhhh i still haven’t finished it and i just read this comment 🤢😭
i don't watch the office so i can't tell if that was a joke or not
Yeah that happens it was beautiful
I think the best example of a show ending at the right time is Derry Girls. Yes I would have loved to get more, but (and I said this to my friend when we watched the last episode because she was annoyed it was over) I would rather get a satisfying ending that wraps up the characters' stories than have a show get stretched out until the characters are barely recognizeable.
Once you’ve seen a terrible season it’s almost impossible to think about it without the stain of the terrible season. It’s like a great person u knew doing terrible things, the lense u see them through has been changed forever.
Game of thrones 🥲
Jane the Virgin was my FAVORITE show at one point, i re-watched it all the time until season 5 came out, and it just ruined every character and storyline for me. I haven't re-watched it since.
Can we talk about Gravity Falls, that show ended in only two season, but ended in the perfect way without feeling rushed.
That was only 2 seasons!! I thought it was like five! Such a good show!
wierdmageddon was amazing. it was such a high quality, logical solution to gravity falls and i could write an in depth analysis on why that is my favorite show, largely due to the fact that it didn't stretch out too long, even if they could've.
Yeah I feel like the show deserves more credit. And even though it was on Disney XD it was an adult show that could be enjoyed by kids
Yes! I actually just got the journal and it’s amazing!

@Mason Calhoun you're the only person in the world who probably thinks "ohh yea after goodbye toby, the office just goes completely downhill"
Yeah lol
This is too true
I think that Schitt’s Creek is a perfect example of a show that ended at the perfect time. The writer and show-runner Dan Levy had a plan for the ending of the series after it was renewed for another 2 seasons, and although it became incredibly popular, the 6th season was the perfect way to end the show.
The show “Awkward.” on MTV had the perfect ending in season 3, where the main girl basically realized she didn’t need a relationship to survive (something she felt she needed from season 1-2). Then, they dragged out the show 2 more seasons, after the show runner left (meaning it was not her vision whatsoever and she left out of spite).
omg i remember watching this show religiously, i’ve never seen any show/movie commentary youtuber ever talk about it
the worst tv show ending that has stuck with me: How i met your mother. It feels like they had all of these seasons to do whatever they wanted and then they got toward the end, realized they had stretched it out too long, and had to wrap it up with an awful awful ending that made no sense.
Maya Christensen can’t believe they spent the whole ass season on the wedding and they didn’t even stay together lol like wtf still annoys me now
The problem was that they wrote themselves into a corner. We had the on/off thing with Robin, while knowing Ted didn't marry her and have kids with her, and ultimately once we knew who the mother was all intrigue would end. It had bad pacing and got very confused. Should have been better planned.
i love how i met your mother but i refuse to watch the ending it makes no sense
The ending to HIMYM is a huge fuck you to fans all because a test audience didn't like the "happy" ending
YES oh my god! i could have accepted that the mother died if not for them hurriedly forcing the Robin-Ted plot at the end. like what was that? seems like the writers just crammed it in at the last minute to try & please people.

When it comes to comedies, a lot of my favorite British comedies don't tend to go longer than three or four seasons. For the most part, I found they tended to end on a high note.
little house on the prairie should’ve ended wayyyyy before it did. they went off-book as early as season 3 or 4, and added 3 children to the family that didn’t exist in the books, and then killed 2 off. they have the wildest storylines in the last couple seasons.

Something that confused me about That 70s Show was that these characters were 17...almost the whole time. Over several seasons it’s mentioned that Eric is still 17 despite having a thanksgiving episode almost every season?
It was an eight season long show that took place in a span of about 4 years. (1976-1980)
Of course they didn't know how long the show was going to run so they didn't do 2 seasons per year and everything got so screwed up.
The kids being 17-18 for almost the entirety of the show was confusing, especially since it takes place over a span of 3-4 years and had holiday episodes every season.

@Alex I think they are talking about season 3 episode 10: Fly. Some people think of it as the worst one and is the worst rated one on IMDb, due to it being considered “filler”. However it is actually in my top five episodes in the show and I love it.
I always thought Psych was a great example of knowing when and how to quit, even though it went on for eight seasons. They found a formula that worked for each episode, kept the same "feel" throughout all eight seasons, and didn't stray from what they knew the viewers liked about the show. The Office did *not* do this.
Even though Psych started to feel a little tired around season seven, it still gave us some great episodes and a great finale. I still go back and re-watch all eight seasons from time to time.
I loved Psych

Freaks and Geeks is one of my favorite shows. It launched a lot of young actors careers, and was really well written, but it was cancelled on the first season. The ending was pretty satisfying, something that had you wondering what the kids would go on to do, but overall knowing it would be alright. The show is about high schoolers in the early 80s, and from what my parents recall, it was pretty much exactly how high school in the 80s felt. It’s a lot more real then how media usually glamorizes the 80s. But what I love about the show is how so much happens in the first and only season. A whopping 18 episodes. You see kids turn into adults, bullies to nerds, and geeks into “freaks”. You hate people at first but learn to like them. You like people and learn to hate them. And overall, the main characters problems aren’t always that big of a deal. They’re just life lessons. But it’s the way it’s written that gives the stories and the kids depth, and makes you love their characters. they feel so real. like friends just having fun and laughing. But also how it feels to have major life changes and growing up. Overall 10/10 show would highly recommend.
I was thinking about Freaks and Geeks throughout the video, it has a satisfying ending and I’m happy it couldn’t be ruined. The characters live on in your imagination:)
The Good Place is a great example of ending at the right time. They had 4 seasons, and even though people wanted more, the writers admitted that they did not have anymore story to tell.
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT I WAS SO HAPPY THEY DIDN’T DRAG OUT THE STORY
What I heard was that it was a Last Airbender situation where they planned an entire arc beforehand.
I think the last 2 season were not really all that funny
The end of The Good Place was so satisfying and finite I honestly don’t know how people could think there could even be more
I thoroughly enjoyed their wrap up of the show in the last few episodes. Really amazing and satisfying. But yes, the last season and a half was not as good as the beginning. Not to say that it was bad at all, but there was a decline

I began noticing That 70s Show slip starting at season three. It was becoming very noticeable that Topher Grace was losing interest and basically walking through the show. It was then the series began relying heavily on catchphrases as punchlines and the adult characters began acting like cartoons. What I loved about the series is that Red and Kitty (and even Eric) had a love for one another and this stabilized them and made their family unit relatable. By the time Brooke Shields was introduced as Jackie's mother, the Foreman parents had lost that special quality they once had. The series also let the 70s nostalgia diminish which made the series less a time capsule and more a routine sitcom. It's a shame. But thankfully, I have those first two seasons on DVD and revisit them whenever I need.
as much as i wish there was a second season to freaks & geeks, i honestly feel as if it ended in a perfect place and wouldn’t be so nostalgic if it kept going

@@damonatar Community's revival was just meh instead of actively bad imo. And you knew it wasn't going to be that good. GOT on the other hand had the most hyped season on tv ever and just sucked sweaty balls.
@skywrecker yea bro makes total sense 4 and a half seasons of masterful storytelling and unparalleled production levels are complete shit now
Season 8 bad, amirite?
Edit: grammar
I was such a big fan...would rewatch it over and over again. Even went to a got convention. I’ve not watched an episode again since I watched the final season so that’s pretty bad lmao
Too long: Grey’s Anatomy
Too short: the family, Anne with an E
Just Right: Parks and Rec, The good Place, Gravity falls, ICarly
Oh my god, I love Anne with an E. I really wish they renew it for season 4. #renewannewithane
Omg just watched the good place finale tonight, perfect example of an amazing series finale, touching and meaningful and beautiful
The good place was so good! I think the whole thing was just about the perfect show for me. The ending was so perfect and had so many callbacks to the start which really showed that they truly deserved to be in the good place and their journey was complete.
Bryce 100% I never cry while watching tv shows and I ugly cried for about 80% of the episode, I completely lost it when Chidi talked about the wave metaphor
parks and rec was so fucking dragged
I can never not appreciate fleabag and schitt’s creek not only ended exactly when they should have but also keeping the pace of character growth consistent and in line with the story requirement.
I think Ted Lasso is a perfect example of a show that ended when it needed. The writers also admitted that's how long they planned on doing it since the moment they started filming.
i honestly love these “video essay” videos Drew makes. educational and enjoyable. but ofc i expect no less from the creator of youtube

Where you at?
I feel like everyone forgets Parks and Rec when they talk about great shows that ended strong. The show just ended showing how all the cast ended up a couple years later and left you on a high note knowing that many of them got to fulfill their dreams.
alt shite fr I think that was one of the best show endings of all time
Totally agree with you, it’s my favorite tv show ending of all time. It perfectly complies a sad goodbye with a hopeful future and leaves the audience feeling satisfied.
YES!!! that’s one of the few shows that retained its signature quality and charm to the very end, while still allowing for its characters to develop into a graceful arch that showed positive growth by the finale. I really hate how parks was overshadowed by the office in its initial television run, because it really was mike schur’s best work as an overall show.
it was an alright ending but it felt a bit rushed because, well, it was lol
I feel the same way about Psych. Have you watched?
How I Met Your Mother was, at a time, my favorite sitcom and possibly favorite show period. Then, the finale came out, and changed everything...
I have never been able to go back and watch it knowing what everything is leading up to, what all the buildup is for.
Caught a rerun in my work's break room the other day. It had been almost a decade* since I'd seen the show. The theme song played and it was so familiar, I felt such a wave of nostalgia come over me. I'm considering rewatching the show, maybe skipping the last season or simply last episode, pretending it was a fever dream, and finding a fanfiction that pulled it off better!
*I decided to Google it & it had been 9 years and 4 months the day I saw it lol. Legit have not gone back since I finished the finale. I own 5 seasons.
One example for a show that knew exactly where to go is one of the most underrated shows of all time: Mr Robot. They knew exactly where they were going, they had 4 seasons and 45 episodes to do it in and it ended perfectly where every clue they threw in throughout the series tied together perfectly. My favorite ending to a series ever
"I don't want to read a book that's 100 pages, reading makes my eyes hurt."
God, I wish this was sponsored by Audible, that would have been perfect

Shilpa Rath breaking bad? That had a perfect ending
I am a leaf on the wind 😭😭
The Good Place ended after 4 seasons and ended perfectly in a way that both leaves you wanting more because it's so good and you want more of the characters and story, but also says "This story ends here" in a fully in-universe thematic way and it's a really good ending.
Also Better Off Ted was a silly comedy that was cut short by the previous WGA strike (PAY THEM MORE) and had to just use the last two shows they had filmed and were in the can and release them online.
An amazing example of a show ending at a perfect time is "Gravity Falls" it only had 2 seasons, but the creators went in knowing they wouldn't be able to make more than 2, so the way it paces out it's mysteries is literally perfect. It had such great foreshadowing in fact, that it deserves a rewatch immediately after finishing it just to spot all the little details. The ending was also really good, it gave a nice conclusion to every character while also having a ton of extremely fun battle stuff and high stakes.
The end of season 2 felt pretty rushed, though. Specially after the Northwest mansion episode.
@@Bad_Gazpacho it was a case of multiple things combined, in my opinion, it isnt that noticable at the first watch, but it was on a rewatch
The Good Place was a show that ended perfectly. They had a 4 season plan and stuck to it, despite its success. Because of that, every episode is a joy, the characters feel fully developed, and the overall conclusion is immensely satisfying. Definitely in my top 3 shows of all time.
It's part of the final season's message. Having an end to something is what makes it special
I absolutely hated the ending, why “take it sleezy???”
I think that show completely went off the rails and made absolutely no sense by the end of it
i'm really sad it ended but i'm also really glad they didn't stretch it out because the ending was just so perfectly timed
The end was great last night
I think a bad ending of a show really can end up killing the show all together. I mean, Game of Thrones had a terrible ending and a year after nobody talks about the show anymore
I know right. before that god awful ending everyone loved that show and talked about it all the time, now their reputation is left in the dirt and no one cares about it.
I think it's the same with HIMYM. If it ended differently, people might still remember it as one of the best sitcoms of all time, but that ending left a bad taste and HIMYM is not brought up nearly as much as it should be. Although it is my favorite show.
If it wasn't for that godawful ending people would be re-watching GoT for years and years, it would become a cult classic.
GoT actually happened to be one of the shows that was prematurely ended. They could have taken time to lead the story on instead of hastily ending it and ruining a masterpiece.
@@kimia1664 completely agree. Of course we can still appreciate seasons 1-6 and even 7 but the whole POINT of the show was basically slaughtered in 55 minutes.
"Life isn't about endings, is it? It's a series of moments. And um, if you turn the camera off, it's not an ending is it? I'm still here. My life is not over. Come back here in ten years. See how I'm doing then. 'Cause I could be married with children, you don't know. Life just goes on." This quote by Tim at the end of the Office UK's 14 episodes pretty much sums up what you said about the US version
The Office never got boring for me. Sure it wasn't as good as before, but it still made me laugh more than most other shows.
fr I think some of the funniest episodes are in season 9
yesss, with Michael it would have been great, but it's still leagues better than most of these examples
Better than other shows? Yes. Still frustrating? Also yes. Nobody liked what they did to Andy in Season 3. Pete getting Erin to cheat sucked. The Jim-Pam near-cheating plot was horrible.
@@coreyyohm the whole thing with Pam confiding in the documentary crew?? terrible, horrible, 0/10, such a weird and uncomfortable thing for them to add. nobody was asking to see the documentary crew, the audience doesn't care about them lol
@@emilyb.8219 YES i forgot how uncomfortable that made me. what a weird thing. to just rip out an established place to confide & trust in one of our favorite characters. that was built up for YEARS. just to make drama to keep the show going ????
13 reasons why shouldve only had one season and thats a fact
either that or never produced in the first place lmao
Or no seasons
@@dillontyler3002 1st season was great but I dont like that it romanticized suicide
this is a mistake they did a such a shameful job being sensitive about mental health and suicide for a show that claimed to care about those issues and the people watching.
@@oliveraddison6143 so basically you said what I said with more detail while adding nothing new to what I was saying. I like season 1 and I think the rest of the show is garbage. I'm aware they didn't do the best job at it but still I liked season 1.
Too Early : Freaks and Geeks

Oh man I literally just watch The Good Place finale... What a gr8 ending
The good place is still running though?
@@deewalker7071 good place finale was yesterday
Dee Walker No they just made the last episode
breaking bad ended beautifully and with the add on of el camino, it ties the entire series up into a nice bow
I like the ending of Crazy Ex-girlfriend. It's predictable but very sweet. Perfect ending to a perfect show.
I think Gravity Falls has the PERFECT ending. They did a lot with it, had character depth, ended it in a satisfying way, and didn’t ruin any characters. I still watch it to this day. They end the summer in their absolutely perfect 2 seasons. They could have extended it, but they didn’t and just tied the bow over a perfect series.
Gravity Falls really is the perfect series. Alex Hirsch had a vision and Disney let him do it, which is honestly surprising, since they usually stretch things out way longer than they have to for an extra dollar. Plus Gravjty Falls keeps on going after it ends, with all the shorts, special features, graphic novel, book, etc. There are always more secrets to unlock!
And yet we all complained at it ending so soon... Best to leave us wanting more I guess
As long as they don’t make a live action movie like they did with Kim Possible, gravity falls will remain the greatest cartoon in history, well to me.
Bloody Lily same
@@annasmith6090 I guess that's what gave rise to dipper goes to taco bell
If we're being honest spongebob should've ended back in 2005 when the first movie came out. the movie was the PERFECT conclusion for the show.
SuperBranman011 bro the new episodes really suck they’re nothing like the classic old ones :(
Agreed. They changed writers after the movie and it just went downhill after that
I heard once that it was actually planned for SpongeBob to end after the first movie, but around the time it came out, Stephen hillenburg left and Nick just started milking sea cows.
I feel like a lot of kid shows now just dont put effort anymore cause they can get away with it. Most kid show humor now is: "butts are funny!" "I make funny face you laugh!" "Loud is funny!" When i look at shows like current spongebob and teen titans go, and compare them old spongebob and tom and jerry theres just so little effort. I mean the creators of tom and jerry successfully made an entire series which centered around mute protagonists which led to creative jokes. Its a shame to see what kids gotta grow up with now
I’d honestly say after 2009 or 2010 it should’ve ended cause there were so really iconic episodes after the first movie as well. Once Spongebob reached it’s 10 year anniversary episode, that would’ve been a great place to end.
What’s worse is now here comes that 90’s show and it makes me want to end it all
Is it good? Or disney channel type of thing
+@@arkia...a It's okay so far. Probably because of the old cast returning. The new characters are just kind of there
Teen Titans had an amazing finale. Terribly heartbreaking, with a little bit of hopefulness, and a lot of just implications about the future for the characters. Left you thinking and wanting more, despite being satisfied with where it stopped.
Idk if it was cancelled and therefore just written well into an ending or if it was planned to end there, but it was a kid's show so likely the first one, and it might have felt a bit rushed (been a while since I watched it) but not so rushed that it felt unnatural, just... a little quick.
Teen Titans was definitely the show that came to mind when drew mentioned shows that did have a finale but still continued anyway. Teen Titans had a 4 episode part finale for the series where all the Titans faced their final antagonists and grew and developed their character to how they are portrayed today, then after that they ran another season and ended it with beast boy at a school with a girl who looks like Terra and ends with him getting a call from Robin and rushing to help

Jerene YES
The good place was way to repetitive for me
The topher Grace thing reminds me of how Sam levinson (creator of euphoria) got in a fight w the actor who played kat so he cut her scenes and turned her character into a bitch . I hate when a show runner can’t put personal issues aside and let it infect the show. Also my nana taught topher in elementary school 🤣
I appreciate what you said about natural endings so much. Ive written a novel I fear is too short but says everything I’ve intended to say. I get so frustrated with plots filled with empty babbling space.

It's been a whole 3 years this subject will always make me jump to Supernatural. I still think that could have been a really great story if they like cut it in half.
Supernatural is 9 seasons too long
tbf it is basically impossible for any show that ends with "it's the 80s now!" to go out on a happy note
I’m certain That 70’s Show season 8 was some fantasy Fez made up while high. That would explain his sudden shift to becoming a ladies’ man, and ending up with Jackie, who he was slightly obsessed with since the beginning.
At least I hope it was, because that gives me a reason to ignore its existence.
That would honestly be so much better than it being real...

I guess Will and Grace is a perfect example of a show that got canceled out of the blue and it was so worth it. And then they brought it back and I like to pretend that the last seasons never existed because they make my tummy hurts.

The ending of season 3 of Barry is perfect. They could go another season but they could also just end it where they did

the good place is a prime example of a show that seemingly ended too early but actually ended perfectly
Kylee Wheeler yeah it was sad that it ended but if it kept going it would’ve probably started being bad. They ended it perfectly
hello Kylee. btw diesel patches is daddy
I feel like the middle seasons were a little weak but it ended strongly
i came to comment the same so thanks for typing it for me much love
The Good Place had a perfect ending. Could they have kept going? Sure. But it would have gotten stale. Even Season 3 got a little stale, in the sense of like "okay they're going to go for their plan but it's going to mess up somehow, then they'll have to make a new plan..." I think they ended it at the perfect time.
Parks and Recreation is a show that ended at the perfect time! All the characters had satisfactory arcs, even the minor characters
I agree but with me I don’t want a show to ever end I think they could have done one more season
Vandana Dubakula yah parks and rec is my second fav show
I disagree they transformed all the characters from small people making a difference in there town to huge politicians which felt forced and the last season made very little sense
Completely disagree. They should have ended at season 6, season 7 sucks fuck
I cant tell if this is a joke or not help
It's almost universal that How I Met Your Mother didn't end when and how it should have
everyone who likes that 70s show just pretends season 8 doesn’t exist, and that’s how i like it
There’s a season 8? Hmmm not in my universe

How is no one talking about Grey’s Anatomy yet? That show was supposed to die SEASONS ago
THANK YOU I was looking for this comment!!! I used to love Grey's a lot but you best believe I stopped watching the actual hot mess of a show that it's become years ago :(
Idk I think greys is still going strong because characters are being filtered out fairly often which can be cool
First show that came to mind. The writers are literally just picking lines out of a hat and throwing them on paper as a script. So disappointed at the decline Grey's Anatomy had.
I still watch it, bu I honestly don't know why. I think it's the only "TV" show I watch, everything else I stream
Literally after The plane crash everything started to go downhill and when Derek died the show should have been done.
