As a counter-example, the Big Bang Theory didn’t end anything. Sure, it ended a season long arc when , but nothing really ended - they even wound up eating together in Leonard & Penny’s apartment like they’ve done a million times. There would have been no problem continuing another 5 seasons after that.
As I recall, Cheers did something similar. There’s some head fakes that Sam’s going to sell the bar and leave Boston, but he changes his mind, and the final episode ends with Sam closing up the bar, and telling some partially-seen customer, “We’re closed,” but with the clear expectation that they’ll be open again tomorrow with the same bunch of wacky regulars.

I wrote a prediction for how that show should end. Got a few things right.
Mrs. Wolowitz visits Amy Farrah Fowler’s lab and is killed when her voice incites an attack by a group of enraged howler monkeys.
Howard and Bernadette realize that between the two of them they have all the skills and resources needed to be the villain in a James Bond film. Bernadette begins work on a superbacteria which Howard will release into the upper atmosphere from the toilet on the International Space Station. They move into a dormant volcano they found on craigslist.
Penny gets a job…
Lancia:
Finally, people have been arguing for years (decades) that The Simpsons should’ve ended many years ago. Since I somewhat agree with the theory that each episode exists in its own unique universe separate from all the other episodes I don’t think there’s a way to satisfactorily wrap everything up since there aren’t any main storylines to wrap up.
Maggie talks.

Yes, but nobody was there to hear it.
She has also said “burlap” and “Moe”.
