(i want to say that this is going to be a mostly self-ironic word vomit but they say that every joke is 50% true so...)
oh no guys, you're being depressing. i have these steps of things when i think about my shows that go something like:
1. it should go on forever, without much change. i should have as much access to my platonic loves as possible.
above that, i'm willing to negotiate ->
2. if it's shit, they should keep every character.
3. if they let some characters go, it should at least be good, OR bring in some new people, that i can like.
4. if it definitely has to end, make everything happen that i WANT OR ELSE.
5. but basically keep everyone, don't change anything, and go on forever. you see i don't put much emphasis on quality but i guess that's no surprise, knowing i still watch house md.
(6. get them together in the last episode - optional. that's what fanfiction's for. nevertheless i love otps that actually become canon.
7. but if you don't get them together you need to leave the options to that happening OPEN AT ALL COST.)
what i think no tv show seems to be able to do is keep their characters true to themselves. after a while they all start to act out and do shit that makes you think wtf but that also could be because i think that being true to themselves would be getting together and they never seem to do that mwhahahahahaha. anyways i guess my point is i don't want 30 rock to be over and i don't want alec to go :( but from my limited access to 30 rock news, tina seemed pretty optimistic about alec not leaving to me.
I think part of it, outside of any quality decline (which I think all shows suffer) is my own personal problem which is that I don't think I'm capable of watching a show forever. At least not with real excitement. Like, I'm sort of a kid at Chuck E. Cheese, who at first is full of excitement. Enjoying every moment of wonder and singing animatronic animals. Then, I start to get cranky, start to wonder why they keep playing that same song over and over, but I'm still enjoying myself and eating pizza. Long story short, eventually I start stomping on the floor and screaming about how I want to go home, and my mother curses the day she ever decided to have children.
Okay, that metaphor went off the rails. What I mean, though, is that I do feel a desire to move on from TV series after a while, especially when I feel less engaged by the show as it stands (and know that is only going to get worse, not better). So, honestly, I would prefer the show to end after six seasons instead of me watching 30 Rock just because I have for so long and it's still on TV.
