Is there an intelligence test TV writers have to fail?

Either a series is pulled when it is still going good, or a series continues past its expiration date (i.e., it's gone bad). Other than mini-series, I can't think of any that were ended 'just right' (although Lost might do it today). Any candidates?

The creators of the original BBC version of Life on Mars deliberately ended it after two series/seasons to avoid going stale, and probably to preserve John Simm's sanity as well (there is only one episode where he's not in every scene, and it was written that way so he could have at least a few days off like the rest of the cast).

You can act to "pigs in space" for only so long before the audience wants answers.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
