First, I thought the show started getting less interesting in Season 7. 7 and 8 had a few good episodes, and as I've said before, two of Season 8's newcomers are the reason I didn't ignore it. Second, if a show doesn't end, it'll be hard to keep track of, and to fit all of it on your shelf when you get the DVD's. Not to mention rewatching them in a mare-a-thon, or getting into it for the first time and having that many episodes to go through.

Season 9 will bring it up to 200 episodes, that is a good long run in itself. Even Dragonball Z knew when to stop at 276 (originally, then 291 in redub, though I heard its manga-loyal reboot, Kai, is getting a new sequel series that's covering the two movies and then bringing Broly into it) And a lot of great animes ended at 51, or just under 70.
