I'm change-averse, but I also recognize the difference between destroying a show and letting your characters grow beyond their initial promise. The creators of How I Met Your Mother kind of solidified this for me. They created a beautiful show. For nine seasons, they wrote an amazing show and I loved it. But they filmed the series ending at the end of season two. And then they failed to recognize that their characters had grown beyond that planned ending. So they aired an ending that didn't make any sense at all based on all the character growth that had happened.
