This is a great argument in favor of episodic television. As long as you can keep churning out interesting (on average) episodic stories, the you can keep going, and when it comes time to end it you don't have to end it in any particular way. There doesn't have to be a final boss or anything.

(For the record, I like stuff that's over-arching and pre-plotted, but maybe that works better for miniseries or anthologies or stuff based on a book series.)

I actually think a good mix is best. Babylon 5 and DS9 and Doctor Who mix episodic and overarching arcs to varying degrees (B5 is more arcy, Who is more episodic), and in every case the mix serves well for a show that works well throughout its run (and in Who's case is still running).

Who does it very well not just in the mix of episodic and arc episodes, but in that they can have arcs for characters or over seasons, but regeneration and the turnover in companions forces them to wrap up the arcs periodically.
