Eventually all things come to an end, even good TV shows. When the producers know that their show will end, the way they say goodbye speaks volumes about the way they want their show remembered.
Some shows wrap up ALL of their story lines and say “Thank you.” – M.A.S.H. and Perry Mason.
Some shows wrap up SOME storylines and say “Thanks for watching.” – Justice League, Hill Street Blues and Gunsmoke.
Some shows don’t attempt to really wrap up anything. There is a final episode, but many times the archive of the program is better off without it. – Moonlighting, The Sopranos.
Last night, I watched the series finale for “Kim Possible” which aired after Disney showed EVERY episode ever made over the last three days.
The smile on my face is very wide this morning because the show’s producers did it right. They tied up all the loose ends including having Ron step up and be a hero in his own right, validating Kim’s love and faith in him ; a faith no one else could understand or see.
The producers did it right. I am really sorry the series has ended, but that is because the finale did a great job of reminding me of what we were losing. Like I said, the producers did it right. 🙂
