Too bad it ended.  I knew it was a good show, but I never watched it.

What do you mean you never thought it would?
It's not a show like the Simpsons. It literally only takes place during the 3 months of summer. With 2 of the months only taking up one season :(
I haven't seen the finale, so no spoilers yet! I'll get to it tonight maybe.
I didn't want it to end!!

Well, Ford was pretty clear... once summer ended, Stan was to pack up and get out of the Mystery Shack.  Plus, let's face it, once you defeat the ultimate Big Bad and narrowly avert the apocalypse there isn't much you can do for an encore. Gnomes, Bigfoots, and, yes, even unicorns seem pretty boring in the face of global annihilation.

Why does every show feel that "Saving the world" is how they end everything?  Why not something more original?

They ended on a high note instead of dragging things on.  They have a huge fan base still and that will last for ages.

But Darrin, this show is pretty original.
Besides, it's the new things they do with an old trope that makes a story great and feel new.

What did I mean? Nothing, it's just shows like this one: to me, they look like they'd never end.

But what do I know, I've never watched it, the only thing I know about it is its reputation and I never knew what it really was about, so... ::)

I had known for a while that Hirsch had both the entire basis for the story (beginning, middle, ending) already plotted out, and that the show probably wasn't going to last more than two seasons. He was very clear about that in a Reddit AMA he did at least two years ago.

My sister saw the finale, and called me at almost midnight last night in tears. I'm not caught up beyond "The Last Mabelcorn" yet, though everything's pretty much already been spoiled for me, which I'm fine with. I'm just glad that the ending was well-received; this show was the one that really put a career in animation into perspective for me, and made me want to work in the industry. I applaud him and the team for all they've done to make this project a successful one.

He had a plan and didnt waver and created one of the more successful shows of this decade. It is well respected.

Because "saving the tri-county area" doesn't sound as dramatic. I mean, that's like, I don't know, Tuesday afternoon for my heroes. It's here in my day planner, see...? Right between "lunch at that new Mexican place" and "take dog to vet for worm check".    ;)

I've never thought about it before, but there IS a certain amount of shows ending with the characters saving the world.

I don't know which ones, but I'm sure there are.

Gravity falls did the right thing going out so fast. It stayed around for as long as it needed to be and went out on top.
