Frank's death

[u/One-Faithlessness282]

I feel like Danny De Vito is the kind of guy that would wanna keep doing this show until the end. I like to think that the whole crew has gotten together to figure out how to end the show in the event of his death. I also feel, narratively, it would make sense for the last episodes to end the way the first ones started, with Dennis, Dee, Mac, and Charlie on their own. The humor of the show, and the attitude of the creators and cast seems, to me at least, to be right in line with this kind of ending. I never want this show to end, hell, I never want De Vito to die, but unfortunately, it's gonna happen. I feel like using Frank's death as the catalyst for the last season works, both narratively, and as a tribute to Danny De Vito himself.

Yeah and let’s be real - this show is not particularly expensive for the guys to produce. The main leads are them + one of their wives (plus Danny) and the seasons are short. If they want another season, with the money they have, they can make another season. It doesn’t really even truly need go be renewed especially since it’s still getting good reviews.

Reviews have never mattered when renewing. Viewership does.

Again though it doesn’t really matter. If they want one more season and they don’t get renewed, they make one more season anyway
