Ended way too soon:

  • Invader Zim (there were plans for 7 seasons, but Nick said it was “too expensive”)

  • Jimmy Neutron (again, f*ck you Nickelodeon)

  • Inside Job

  • The Misadventures of Flapjack (i mean, it’s length was ok, but i’m salty about it’s rushed ending).

Went on for too long:

  • Stranger Things (looking back, only S1 was good)

  • Rick & Morty (it was pure filler from S3 onwards)

  • The Simpsons (should have ended with the movie)

  • Spongebob Squarepants (also should have ended with it’s 1st movie)

  • The Fairly Oddparents (i share the common thought that the show ended in “Channel Surfers”, but there were a few good episodes afterwards).

  • Regular Show (mainly about Mordo’s disasterous love life, everything else was fine, and the ending brought me manly tears :')

Stranger Things should have been an anthology series with Matthew Modine’s character and his experiments as the common thread linking each season.

Ended too soon, I would also add Rome and Deadwood

Deadwood was pretty disappointing, especially with the movie. I was expecting the movie to wrap stuff up nicely, but it basically leaves stuff exactly where it was except (SPOILER) is dead. It’s not even a horrible ending, it just doesn’t feel like an ending at all and it makes me sad that there’s not more

They had to cram the ending into a movie, where it should have been stretched to multiple seasons. It’s like what happened in Rome season 2, they had to cram 20 years of Roman history into one season.

Inside Job is so good, I was crushed when I heard they canceled it. Such a fun concept for a show, and I thought it was really well written. Was really funny, but also had it’s sad moments. I’m bummed about that one for sure.

It was good, but as soon as they made a love interest for Reagan who was your typical Fox Muldur… I mentally checked out

I’m glad Paramount is at least still hosting Zim. It was definitely a big part of my early teenhood.

I loved invader Zim!!! Did you see the movie they released in 2020 that tied up the series? It was honestly really well done… I didn’t hate it

Awesome point on Flapjack, hadn’t even thought of that. I’d love to see a reboot, the world in that show was so interesting. Not nearly enough Steampunk cartoons out there
