TV shows that ended too soon... 19:29 - Jul 12 with 9090 viewswkj

Just watched firefly on the telly box again and it bought back all the old feelings of shows inexplicably ending short. (seems Joss Wheldon and TV channels have a history)

We just started watching Whitechapel again which is another ending too abruptly.

Any telly shows you wish has one last season or special to tie up the loose ends?

I was gonna say Gavin And Stacey but that’s coming back for a Christmas special this year.

Maybe The Office (UK) deserved another season.

British telly makers are great at killing something appropriately. You may only get eight, ten programmes but they're all good. US tv execs will string anything out so long as it's doing ratings, see Lost as a prime example.

Add Friends to that.

I’d love to see that come back for half a dozen episodes just to see how the characters are all getting on.

I know Joey ended up getting a full time presenting gig on a foreign car show and Rachel got wound up doing a few bad netflix films, one with Adam Sandler.

I'd love a Game of Thrones film where it's revealed the final episode was all a dream. Two hours to give it the ending it deserves.

Jesus.

Sorry, Rommers, but this is one of the worst takes in TWTD history.

Fawlty Towers
Father Ted


I think Fawlty Towers was so good that overdoing it would have taken the edge off it.
It was comedy genius but the twelve episodes in two lots of six four years apart was about right.

That show produced some of the very best moments of TV comedy.

I agree that they shouldn’t have overdone it but they definitely could have done one more season I think.

Pretty sure it often gets voted the greatest British comedy of all time?

I think it does get voted that and if it doesn't it should!

If they had done a third series then maybe there would have been thoughts about a fourth and so on....

I think it is good that we are left with twelve comedy masterpieces.

I suppose every episode is genuinely very good and probably no other show can claim that is the case so perhaps you’re right.

Absolute gold

I would say Father Ted is another where every episode is excellent.
