The curtains eventually fall on every popular television program. Sure, "The Simpsons" is still going strong at 35 seasons and more than 750 episodes, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

"M*A*S*H" closed with a TV movie. "Newhart" was a dream of Dr. Robert Newhart. "How I Met Your Mother" ended on its own terms, but it's spinoff, "How I Met Your Father" was left unresolved.

Not long after "Curb Your Enthusiasm" wrapped, "Young Sheldon" is another popular program to close this season. We talk about that, have an interview with Montana Jordan who will continue in his role as Georgie Cooper in a spinoff series, and discuss other programs such as "Deadwood," "Mindhunter" and "Cobra Kai."
