Quotes[]
The show was designed to be a show that doesn’t have an end. That doesn’t mean it won’t end, but it’s not like “The Good Place.” Mike envisioned that as a beginning, middle and end. And so, it’s interesting now as we get into this late middle-age of the show to think about what an end would be. When we get there, we want it to feel right, but in some ways it’s hard because it’s like I want to feel like these guys and gals, that they’re all going to hang out together forever.
I was talking to [“Everybody Loves Raymond” creator] Phil Rosenthal about just this. I think he was saying it’s context-dependent, but one of the best ways to end a show is with the suggestion that it’s still going to go on, that you came into a world that existed and then the world will exist after you stop looking at it.[1]
