TopicAre there any "checklist" shows with a conclusive ending? *Spoilers*

From what I've noticed, shows that have the protagonist complete some kind of checklist of tasks generally ends before the protagonist could complete it.

For example, in My Name Is Earl, the lead character Earl creates a list to right many wrongs he made before he went to prison. The show, unfortunately, ended without any kind of satisfying conclusion of him finally finishing the list. (The off-screen handwave in Raising Hope doesn't count)

Another show, 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd, has the protagonist turned into a dog and forced to complete 100 good deeds before he could be turned back human. The show got cancelled before he could finish so he supposedly ended up as a dog forever.

And the gang in 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo never actually managed to catch the 13 ghosts after releasing them in the pilot. (Though apparently they made a movie in 2019 that brings in Fred and Velma and serves as the finale for this series, but the point still stands for the original series)

From what I gather, making checklist shows is risky due to the creators never knowing if and when they'll be cancelled. Are there shows of this genre that had a successful and satisfying conclusion?
