Which shows do you think ended too soon, or went on too long? (lemm.ee)

New Futurama is just as good as old Futurama. Fight me.

Arrested Developments Netflix seasons, though different from the original run in format, I found them enjoyable and worth rewatching.

Game of Throne's last half sucked but not because it went on too long, quite the opposite. The producers tried to rush the series to a quick finish so they could go do a Star Wars. HBO offered them extra seasons, they had plenty of source material they downright ignored or went against. The series was best when it was verbatim from the books. In the hands of someone who cared it could have been twice as long and quality all the way through. Obviously I'll die on this hill.

Couldn't agree more on the rest of your list. Westworld would have been a tight one season limited series.

Yeah I think we actually agree on GOT - it is on my list because it suddenly took a turn for the worst in the last 2 seasons. I'd have loved it if they'd just made it all and followed the books.

Who knows, maybe GRRM might have been motivated to finish them if it had gone down that way.
