Quote from CuthienSilmeriel
Channel 4 still shows re-runs of Friends all the time and Trouble has my wife and kids but I've seen them all now and it pains me to know I'll never see a new episode.
Sometimes I think it's better that there are no more episodes of some series. Why? Because sometimes the popularity of the show works against it, in that the show is brought back, and then a piece of junk is released. Like for Fushigi Yuugi, for the anime, there are several people on AnimeNfo.com that felt that the OAVs were so terrible that it made even the good (or at least "better", even for the cynics) TV series suck. That was the price paid to see more of our favourite characters, not really Miaka and Tamahome/Taka, but the seven Suzaku Seishi.
That would be an example of a show that overstayed its welcome.
I don't like the reality shows, but at the same time, I know I've followed some. I watched some episodes of series that I shouldn't have really supported.
And even though there was a chance that it could be screwed up, I wish a bit that Gilmore Girls had a mini series to close up the series. I was disappointed at the way Gilmore Girls ended, and there are even some people on Lauren Graham's IMDB board that are also disappointed after all this time.
And it looks like I'll be sad that Pushing Daises won't get a proper ending soon, too.
It will be closed up in a comic after the last episode airs this month, but there are others that say it won't be the same and I'm in that group. For most of the cartoons that I watched in the late 90s, if I've forgotten them, chances are that they might have pretended to have substance when it really didn't. I think that was a low point for Disney, and that would include Recess even though there are people that wish for it back in this thread. If the movie A Cinderella Story was used, but the romance part of the story eliminated, the cliques would be the idea for Recess, no?
Just on the surface, I miss Buffy and Dark Angel, I wasn't a close follower of the latter though, and I wonder if I had been raised in a differently family and operated differently if I would have bothered with Buffy before it went off the air. That matter with Spike and Buffy towards the end was so fun!
