The thing about shows not ending is that they become too hard to keep track of, to mare-a-thon it or check for a single scene you remember, and the show gets stale as it goes on. Supernatural's still good but they really need to stop at Season 11, even if it means killing Sam and Dean who of course will be condemned to The Void for killing Death and therefore their deaths will be final. Most of the fan-favorites are dead already.

Pokemon being a prime example of that. It was fun in the first two seasons, next three were all right, and they did do three arcs in Diamond and Pearl that coincided in a very impressive way to a spectacular finish, but you lose interest after a while. The guy who watched the Simpsons back in 1994 and won't admit the damn thing isn't funny anymore.

We've already got a lot of episodes of this show, so if it does end after Season 6 and the movie (which would be 143 episodes), no one can say it was too short. Digimon Tamers and Soul Eater were each only 51 episodes, Beast Wars 52. Better to end on a good note than to dragon and become lame. Already we have people complaining that they're reusing old ideas and are running out (which I admit is true of The Crystalling, replace King Sombra with a snowstorm and it makes no difference, except that no one actually died this time), though having been there myself I say it is too early to judge the season based on that.
