<p><strong>Game of Thrones, Jane the Virgin, Veep, The Big Bang Theory, Broad City, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: These are only some of the shows signing off this year.</strong></p><p><strong>The end of so many beloved and long-running series will leave a hole in our hearts and disrupt our viewing patterns — and leave us searching for new and different television companions to fill their place. </strong></p><p><strong>Why the rush to the exit?</strong></p><p><strong>And why is it so hard for creators to stick the landing when they wrap their shows? </strong></p><p><strong>On this episode, The Reel is not ashamed to say that there’s a grieving process in saying goodbye to our trusted friends on TV. Mark Olsen (@IndieFocus) talks with @latimes critics and reporters @LorraineAli, @MeredithBlake, @villarealy and @marymacTV, who are working through the pain with you. </strong></p><p><br></p>
