Too Short/Too Long

What shows, movie universes, or book series should have gone longer, and which ran too long?

The sheer amount of phenomenal, one season anime is too numerous to count.

And on the flipside, as much as I adore Stargate: SG1, I think 10 seasons might have been a bit much, especially since the Ori felt a little bit pointless at times.

Yup. I liked some parts of seasons 9 and 10, but I do think ending at season 8 would have been a better choice. It was a good ending.

I think Lost shouod have been a one season miniseries.

Eh, I think it should have had 2-3 seasons, so you could get the time travel part in. But there were so many storylines that were just really pointless, and so much backtracking by the showrunners. Also, they sidelined Harold Perrineau of all people, claiming it was because the child actor playing his son grew up too fast, and having fewer seasons could have dealt with that problem too!

As much as I love the show, I agree somewhat that Lost should have been shorter. Not too sure it could have been good as only a one season miniseries.

How is Grey's Anatomy still on? I stopped watching after Christina left. But it shocks me that it is still running. Should have ended years ago.

Honestly, I think any show running that long, even a good one like Law and Order, loses quality. There needs to be a solid, clear ending. Shows that drag on lose their quality and it can retroactively ruin the earlier stuff too.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch should have ended when she graduated high school, and like I don't hate the college/work stuff, but it's nowhere near the same level of fun or quality because it reduced the core cast that made the show work: the Spellman family unit.

Stranger Things was fantastic as a one-season show, the world building was always wonky but giving it more seasons just really showcased that the showrunners had no clue what they were doing. Even if I do find Lucas/Max cute I rather it had just had one season.

For me the MCU has gone past the point of it being halfway fun any more, they should let the movies rest for a bit but they just keep throwing new ones out without half the care of the original run put into them and it shows.

Aw I have such nostalgia for Sabrina! I really loved the later seasons too, it was a really unique continuation I found, as usually shows continuously remain in highschool or something.

I agree with Stranger Things, though maybe a two season show rather than just the one. They very clearly had no clue what they were doing with the upside down and I honestly haven't even watched the latest season yet. Sucks cause the show had so much potential.

The best part of season 5 is the last 40 minutes where all the characters' fates are shown. You could just watch that and skip the rest of the season.

Game of Thrones should have been longer if they had gotten better showrunners.

Yup. To make such big character changes, they needed at least another season to make it believable.
