Or, parody the _Kids in the Hall_ final episode.

Huh?

What’s so confusing about NOT having a special show to wrap up/end a series? Just finish a season and not start any new ones. Happens every year to every series unless they decide to kill it off with a special ending.

As old as the show is, I bet half the viewers wouldn’t get the Tracy Ullman link.

Every single show, in order, speeded up to last four seconds (an extremely high frame rate would be more preferable than only showing a few dozen frames), shown without any break.

Well, that probably wouldn’t make a very good episode, but I would like to see that.
