Emmys 2023: Which departing series will earn a grand send-off?
LOS ANGELES — TV shows overstay their welcome more often than not. The phrase "jump the shark," the erosion of quality, the exhaustion of inspiration, comes from a television series after all. (Funny — or frightening — to think that the Fonz and "Happy Days" would continue six full seasons after Henry Winkler paired water skis with his signature leather jacket in that 1977 episode.)
But it doesn't have to end in failure. Several programs — "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Schitt's Creek," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad" among them — won series Emmys for their final seasons.
