TV Shows that don’t know how to end.

There is a problem with a lot of TV Shows today, they don’t seem to know how to end an episode. Instead of ending like a good TV show, they give us a minute or two of music playing as they some wrap up is happening.

It seems to me that it is just a case of lazy writers who don’t know how to end an episode. They only have to write 41 minutes of dialogue. If you end the episode with 2 minutes of music, that’s only 39 minutes of dialogue, but I’m guessing the writers get paid the same.

I am sure that those 2 minutes make great cinematography, but I don’t care. They don’t resolve anything. They don’t serve to advance the plot of the episode/series and they don’t serve to do any character development. Basically, it is 2 minutes of padding to make their promised 41 minutes.
