What's a show that was so good that you were depressed when you finished it?

[Jameerthefear]

Title.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Definitely Breaking Bad. I almost cried at the end of the last ep knowing it was over

[CavaliersFTW]

The Brittish Office. Just 2 seasons plus a followup short film... IMO it was the perfect length though, the American one dragged on and on and I eventually stopped watching it out of boredom, the English one keeps you hooked the entire time and is so good it leaves you wanting more. I think American shows should follow suit, they tend to beat successful programming to death they never know when to quit.

I agree, however, I don't think British shows are good in that respect, either. They're in that opposite spectrum of not giving you enough. 3 seasons of 5 or 6 episodes is terrible, imo. They don't give you enough. It's all monetary, though. Don't think it has anything to do with quality over quantity. If they could pump out endless episodes, they would.

The Office ended because Ricky Gervais didn't know what else to do with it after two seasons. I'd much rather a show be short and decent than dragged out.

LOST is a perfect example. It should have been no more than 3 seasons but it was watered down to expand to 6. To me that devalued it overall.

Quality is much better than quantity.

[Suguru101]

The Soprano's first season: I had a feeling that it just wouldn't be as good as it was then, and so far i have been unfortunately right(i'm on the 3rd).

Hannibal's second season: Peak.

Game of Thrones, first season: Daenery's arc and Ned can't be replicated.

A whole show? Maria-sama Ga Miteru.

[KingBeasley08]

The Sopranos. After 86 episodes and 6 seasons, I felt like I knew Tony like he was a member of my own family. When the show ended, shit was tough

The problem was, it was only an interesting show because they kept adding new mystery on top of mystery and expanding the story without ever having an idea of how to explain it or wrap it up. Season 3 of Lost would have been terrible too if they cut it short, because there's no way to end that kind of story.

[Orlando Magic]

None. You know why? The three shows that I absolutely loved all completely ****ED UP the ending of the series.

1) Sopranos (shit ending, I know exactly what it meant and what it was supposed to represent, but I hated it even though some call it genius)
2) Breaking Bad (shit ending, I wanted a firefight with the DEA or some crazy shit)
3) LOST (shit ending and it became more and more readily apparent that they were just writing shit for the sake of writing new shit instead of actually having a plan to resolve stuff properly)

Basically, apparently nobody knows how to truly end a great TV series well.

Also... it's funny, all of these shows were great at the beginning, sucked in the middle seasons by comparison, and got better as the series ended(last season for each show), besides the finales. Haha. Interesting.

[Orlando Magic]

1 2 and 3 were great. 4 and 5 sucked. 6 was ok with a shit ending.

But Gandolfini and Falco acted their asses off throughout the ENTIRE series. Seriously ****ing great acting.

Those two, Cranston's portrayal of WW, & Emerson's portrayal of Linus are the four best acting jobs I've ever seen in a TV series and it's not even close.

[imdaman99]

Spartacus. Wondered what the hell they were doing at the start but after the initial few episodes I was hooked.

Still miss it to this very day, I knew it had to end because it was loosely based on history.

[9erempiree]

First off, I don't watch TV much to finish the entire show.

Second, I fight it funny for those that watch Soprano and became legitimately upset when the show ended.

This. I don't get how someone can get into a character so much and act that well. I would act Madds Mikelsen's portrayal of Hannibal to them though. He is outstanding.

[Jailblazers7]

Might feel that way about Mad Men but it is very rewatchable for me so it's no biggie. I can only remember feeling that way about the Mass Effect games.

I guess West Wing is the closest that I can recall.

[shaq2000]

The Office (US) - even though the last few seasons were pretty bad, it was still a weird feeling to see it finally come to an end. I was so used to watching it every Thursday from 2005 to 2009. Whether I enjoyed each episode or not, it was like a part of my week.

Flight of the Conchords - maybe it was all Murray, but I was definitely left wanting more than two seasons.

Party Down - This one especially. Two seasons wasn't enough!

[Proctor]

Friday Night Lights and The Wire.

[johndeeregreen]

Obviously the Wire. Left me depressed for a week afterwards. Great call on Friday Night Lights as well; that was a fantastic show.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Sopranos for sure. I wasn't big on season 6, but the last episode and subsequent ending was like a harsh reality check; the Sopranos were...no more.

RIP T

[Lamar Doom]

Six Feet Under f*cked me up when that ended.

Good call on FNL.

I wasn't bummed out by FNL because it felt like the right time to end the show. I did really love that show tho. The episode where Matt lost his dad was ****ing brutal.

[Magic731]

Scrubs.

[bballer]

The American Office. Loved it so much.

Same goes for the British one. I watched it after I watched the American one but it was still incredibly hilarious.

Also Prison Break. I know that it got a lot worse over time but I really loved those characters. Pretty sure I teared up when Scofield died.

Breaking Bad but at the same time it ended perfectly and I couldn't have asked for any more.

It will happen with Parks and Recreation after this season ends.

It will happen when it's always sunny ends.

[Duderonomy]

Definitely not Shazam . http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ca/7c/2d/ca7c2d230e484f0a9b393006cc3cd82a.jpg

Prison Break was fierce at the beginning. Awesome characters like Paul, Abruzzi and Teabag made that show. Schofield died? That's how much I remember the last few seasons lol.

The Wire.

[Jailblazers7]

Wait nvm, I definitely felt that way after Avatar the Last Airbender.

[JellyBean]

For me, the show that really got me down was when Knight Rider went off the air. That show was off the hook!!! Cool theme song. Suave leading man. Hot chicks. And a boss car.

[T_L_P]

Season 5 of the Sopranos sucked? It's the only season that managed to properly combine the exquisite character studies with the fantastic story arcs. Not to mention "Long Term Parking" might just be the greatest hour of television ever.

Anyway, my answers are: Sopranos, Office (seasons 7, 8 and 9 were really bad, but the ending crushed me), Arrested Development (though, in hindsight, I'm glad it ended because the newest season was bad).

[CavaliersFTW]

Dragonball z. So GOOD
:lol ohhhh shit OP about to have a fit

[K Xerxes]

The Wire - best written TV show ever. Story line was so deep and meaningful, I've never seen anything like it. Season 4 is the GOAT season in all TV, followed closely by season 3 IMO. Though I have to admit season 5 was a bit of a let down after those two seasons, and the show kind of lost me after what happened to Omar happened (won't spoil it). I understand why it happened and it was pertinent in the show's theme... but come on, it's Omar...

Sopranos - best acted TV show ever. Tony Soprano is the GOAT main character, Carmela was incredible. Christopher, Silvio, Paulie, Johnny, Junior... all beautifully done. I hated the ending, though I don't think season 6 was as bad as people say. The Tony and Christopher moment near the end of season 6 was the most unexpected moment of the series, and I think one of the best.

Breaking Bad - kind of felt the show ended at Ozymandias, so yeah I was devastated it was over. WW is the second GOAT main character, and the story was beautifully written.

what everyone already said about breaking bad.

[BigBoss]

None, but I can name a lot of shows that were really good, but stayed on the air too long.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

The Bachelorette. Talk about putting ***** on a pedestal. That show was the epitome of it. Was a great insight into the true nature of the male kind.

[DonDadda59]

Batman the animated series

Excellent choice. :applause:

Loved the show as a kid and appreciated it even more watching it as an adult. Very well written show and it's a true representation of Batman. 'Beware the Gray Ghost', the Two Face saga (including 'Second Chance'), 'It's Never Too Late', 'Perchance to Dream' are plain great television, forget just cartoon show.

And Mask of the Phantasm is one of the best Batman movies ever.
