The Simpsons. It hasn’t been really good since like 2001 or so but it just keeps going on FOREVER
What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation?

I do find it nuts that Babylon 5 got to run for five seasons. It was a new scifi franchise (meaning no pre-existing fandom) that was basically going head to head with Deep Space 9, and it had multiple actors in major parts drop out of the show.

And the distribution company died in the middle too.
They were basically backed by Criss-Craft boats who had massive financial scaldals and collapsed taking PTEN down with them.

I read all the books and short stories, the narrative jumps 30ish years into the future. If they weren’t canceled, how would they deal with that?

Smallvile. How the hell did it get 10 seasons?

It started to feel like Lana Lang torture porn. I bounced the season she got kidnapped by Cerebro, which I believe was just after she had been possessed by the spirit of a witch.

A lot of Netflix’s adult animated comedies. I glance at some of them and their art styles put me off, so I think, “That’s probably not gonna get renewed…”
I check back awhile later and some of them are at like 4+ seasons.

And yet Inside a job only got one season. The world makes no sense.

It’s pretty amazing that Rick and Morty has managed to go on for years now without Justin Roiland. This pretty much solidifies Dan Harmon as the heart of the show (as many suspected) and, with Community in his curriculum, a pretty good comedic writer
Though the show did get extremely weird with the sex stuff, why is Jerry talking about watching porn in front of his kids?Dasus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There’s been one season without Justin…?
And honestly, he just wasn’t as big of a deal to the show as people think. He being the voices netted him a creator credit, and I’m sure he gave Harmon ideas, but I’m gonna 100% stand behind Harmon being the creative force which made the show so popular, not the silly voices or absurdist ball gags (some of which would’ve been Harmon’s obviously).
The show was plenty weird well before Justin left, but yeah, Harmon probably is responsible for the majority of the incest jokes.
How do I know this?

I’m still sad from Harmontown ending. It was a hell of a podcast.

You on Netflix. I thought it was wrapped and finished a couple of years ago, but I see season 5 dropped a few days back. I guess Netflix says there will not be another season. We will see.

Fringe was the last one I noticed as having a particular run of luck, just squeezing by season after season.
Netflix has burned me so bad I no longer watch their series until they’re done. Not the best way to be sure of getting new seasons, but I’m over watching fun stuff that gets killed after a single season.

Agreed, miracle that made any kind of ending.
