I agree that “Will & Grace” wore out their welcome well before the series ended (probably the episode featuring Jack Black as a doctor ended it for me). But I don't think “Ed” jumped the shark until the last episode with the crazy abandoned wedding thing. I think “Ed” would have wrapped up better if the whole series had turned out to have been a novel that Carol had written about her days in small town Stuckyville. Last shot of the series – Carol in her New York apartment, typing on a computer and obviously finishing up something. She then calls her old friend Molly, who still lives in Stuckyville, to tell her she has just finished her latest novel. Ed comes into the shot and gives Carol a hug around the neck and the screen fades to black as Carol and Molly girl talk.
