Shows that broke your heart when they ended

[petro]

Better Call Saul was a good prequel.
First couple seasons were slow, but it really picked up going up to the point of Breaking Bad.
Was interesting to see some of the main characters and how they were involved before Walter White.

One season of Firefly wasn't enough.

Seinfeld mercifully ended, it had lost all its humor by series end.

Shows in their prime that ended and left me wanting more is a small sample size of one.

Deadwood. Can't think of any others right now.

If you asked me last year I would have quickly said Sopranos. I have to think about it to come up with another. Until now. What We Do In The Shadows. I can’t believe it’s over. I want 100 more ridiculous episodes. Such a great show.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I don’t remember the last episode. But I do wish they’d come out with another season. Is it over?

I’m sure some will say Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends.

Curious to see who else like what we do in the shadows. And see what others will say

I was late for Seinfeld, but watch reruns no end. The show started slow, and then they changed the tempo. The last two or three years were really bad. They were redeemed by a great finale.

I have mostly watch the Sopranos thru online vids. Seems they timed it about right, although some say the later episodes with Tony B, Phil, etc. paled in comparison to early episodes.

Most sitcoms, I think, run their course in about three years. They have formulaic template stories, and there is only so much you can do after that. Usually just repeat jokes and stories.

I LOVED Deadwood then suddenly, for some reason, got out of it. Right up till the Preacher turned into a murderer wacko? My brother loves that show.

I'm not going to watch it now that I know it ends with me wanting more.

Yea but the Apprentice went back on 2016-2020 and it's coming back starting January 6th

President Trump’s “A Team” turnover was 92% his first term

it does not include Cabinet secretaries.

• Each position on the “A Team” is only counted once. If multiple people hold and depart from the same position (e.g., communications director), only the initial departure is tracked/affects the turnover rate. For more information on these instances, see the “serial turnover” section below.

• 45% of President Trump’s “A Team” departures have undergone serial turnover as of January 20, 2021​

1883 was a real tearjerker at the end.

GOT was also a tremendous letdown.

I was so disappointed in GoT ending season I refuse to stream any reruns.

If a TV show breaks your heart, you are one pathetic SOB.

So, you never, ever, ever, teach kids to be fully invested in a good story, storytelling, and the power of stories to change the world?

You must really hate literature.

Some will say that TV is not the same as the great literature, but I say that the are both nothing more than storytelling. Some great, some good, some mediocre, and some horrible.

You get invested in the story, not the medium.

The Orville was good. Do you like The Ark?

I never could get into 'The Orville'.

I was just getting onto that show too. I hate when they finally begin telling good stories and then just get pulled.

 

[ChristisKing]

Didn’t you have anything better to do on fridays than to watch family matters? Lol. I remember it was on Friday nights. Weird night to have it. Wasn’t it back to back with full house?

No I was only a little kid back then. (Except I wasn't born yet when it started as I was born the year after) and Full House I didn't even discover until I was in middle school.

It had what those shows need. A cast of characters who were likable. It for sure had a lib message to it so that could have turned some people off.

What about shows that should have been great but ended up sucking? Like

The Boys is an American satirical superhero television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video. Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals (referred to as "Supes") who abuse their powers for personal gain and work for a powerful company (Vought International) that ensures the general public views them as heroes.

It had nothing to do with any particular ideology. I just could not connect to any of the characters or stories.

I'm all about good storytelling, which is; of course, subjective.
