What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations? (leminal.space)

When watching a show a while after it's released you can sometimes tell when a show was canceled because a season will end on a big (occasionally spiteful) event.

The following season after it's picked back up occasionally stumbles a bit but I'm wondering what examples can you think of that were especially bad?

Besides mentions of Hulu appearing in the show (which combined with Solar Opposite's Hulu episode which makes me wonder if it's a requirement by Hulu) why do you say that?

new season ep 1.... did you watch it? matt is stuck in the past. just like the simpsons it has lost touch on all levels.

in simpsons matt failed to adress changes like mobile phones , tablets or just the fact that he owns a house, two cars, two kids and has one job pays the bills. insane. matt felt that and tried make them use a cellphone once in a while but geez this feels outdated and so does futurama this year. not one of the jokes was pointing the viewer to anything new. south park has a hard time these days aswell but did not fail like futurama 2023.

solar opposites is nice I agree. Final Space was better. And again shit wins: lower decks.

I liked the new season so far. But like anything, searching for nostalgia is never going to work. It'll never hit like it did when you were 20 years younger and watching the show for the first time

did you watch solar opposites or final space? it is the feeling. it can be done. but maybe not by matt anymore.

Absolutely watched both. Enjoyed both of them a lot. Wasn't quite the same, still, great shows
