It really should have been a two-parter, though.

Another point of comparison: the Arthur finale would have been better as a two parter, whereas Supernatural would have been better if they just didn't make the final episode.

the show jumps 20 years into the future. Arthur, having been encouraged to pick up a book about drawing animals by Marc Brown - the guy who wrote the original Arthur books - is writing a graphic novel about his life that follows the plot of the first picture book/episode of the show. Buster is a writing teacher who's teaching Arthur's baby sister Kate. Francine runs a company that designs sneakers, Muffy is running for Mayor and DW is a cop. The last episode of Arthur ends as the titular character reads from his graphic novel, about how he first got his glasses - ending the show by referencing the first plotline that ever happened.

also, adult Arthur is voiced by his first voice actor from the 90's returning to reprise the role.

It's crazy that it finally ended. I remember like, ten years ago I was surprised it was still going. I loved the show as a kid, to the point I checked out every Arthur book in my school library lol.

Now what's left of the PBS cartoons. Cyber Chase?

Pretty sure that's been over. There's a new curious George every few years I think?

second picture book*

I watched through it out of curiosity. One thing that stuck out to me was that there were some characters that barely appeared at all that I remember being a big part of the series back when I watched it 20 years ago. DW only showed up at the end, Arthurs other family members are nowhere to be found, Binkie only got a passing mention and it seemed like the Brain, who I remember being a pretty prominent side-character on the level of Muffy, was largely supplanted by some Moose character I dont remember existing.

That said, it was a pretty good finale, yeah.

Hey Arnold still had a better finale than Arthur because they eventually did get The Jungle Movie

After about season 4 or 5 the writers of Supernatural felt like they were as surprised as anyone that the show was still going, so it was a succession of pulling various plots out of asses.

I watched it all and its good mindless fun, but my god that ending was weak as piss.

From what I understand, the Supernatural ending was supposed to be much more grand, but covid fucked it up.

Apparently Jensen Ackles needed a lot of convincing to go with it the way it happened.

So what was Supernatural's finale?
After the events of the previous episode where they literally defeat God and get a "drive into the sunset" ending set to Running on Empty, the short one (Dean?) gets impaled on a nail in a barn fighting a bit character from an earlier season who was turned into a vampire. He dies for real this time (from a rusty nail in a barn) and goes to Heaven, where the only human character to appear is Bobby and an exact replica of the Impala is also there, which Dean drives to a majority of Carry on my Wayward Son, if not the whole song. Jared Padalecki has a family and wears terrible old-man make-up to signify that he's aging in the real world, despite still looking like a sharp-jawed 40-something year old manly man, and what feels like two minutes after playing the entirety of the real version of Wayward Son, the show plays a dogshit "emotional" choral cover of the song as Old Man Sam in a white wig dies in hospital. Dean finds Sam on a bridge in heaven and they drive away and that's the end of the show.

Again, this was after Sam and Dean not only dethroned God and fixed the world after the sacrifices of their friends and family over the course of decades - including the kinda-sorta permadeath of Castiel four episodes prior, which is handwaved away off-screen in the final episode - but the pair got a clean break and got to drive into the sunset in a characteristically Supernatural dad rock montage. Dean is impaled on a rusty nail from a vampire and dies, the Impala goes to heaven, Sam lives his entire life and then dies, they play the same song at length twice in a row including a terrible cover, and then the dead brothers drive around heaven in the heaven Impala for eternity or whatever.

Lol i had no idea who the chick leading the vampires was even after they showed the old "her from back then" footage. They really brought back a random character from an early season just for the sake of a callback. I wonder how many fans watching actually remembered the character lol

They advertised new episodes of Cyberchase a day after Arthur ended IIRC. It's still going.

And yeah, I thought they ended Arthur very nicely.

Yikes, really sounds like they should have ended Supernatural an episode sooner. Especially if they were going to treat a character like that, despite their earlier accomplishments.
