Who can tell me that my fantasies won't come true? Just this once..."). By that token, Malcolm in the Middle did a great job of refocusing the show back to the central theme of growing up 'super-smart' (and how that doesn't solve everything and isn't a goal in and of itself). Perhaps more darkly (but still appropriate), Dinosaurs ending with their entire society about to go extinct was way more appropriate for a show about anthropomorphic dinosaurs than anyone would have expected from a children's/family show of that era.Finally (and somehow ending up in reverse-alphabetic order), Bojack Horseman is the perfect finale for that show in that it doesn't provide a sense of closure or wrap everything up with a tight little bow.
