10 TV Show Endings That Get Better The More You Think About Them
7. Futurama - Meanwhile
From the mind The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Futurama ran for four spotless seasons before being unceremoniously cancelled, and years later revived as a mere shell of its former self.
The show's finale (before its most recent renewal) is actually brilliant, however, finding Fry and Leela stuck in a universe that's been paused and left them alone to live a long and happy life together without any interruptions. That is, before The Professor saves them and brings them back in time to do it all over again.
Meanwhile serves as a bittersweet reminder that, for all its surreal adventures and oddball humour, Futurama was always about Fry and Leela, and how their turbulent relationship - first indifferent, then friendly, then romantic - grew.
Watching the pair live a long and happy life together after all the pain, action, and insanity they'd been through makes the rest of the show feel that much warmer and comforting on re-watches, knowing everyone will live happily ever after. Hopefully the new reboot doesn't betray them.
