Ending a long-running series is harder than starting one.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Adventure Time both faced the same challenge, but solved it in very different ways.
Well.... actually.... ATLA had its ending laid out from the start, Adventure Time did not. Neither did Simpsons, but that is now known as the 'show that somehow still goes on'. The question remains, how do you end the show?
