Must be the shift away from it.  Either that, or the wife just hasn't shown
up yet.  ;-)

That was the impression I got.  Some of the characters seemed to be saying
goodbye, and the "where are they now" segment at the very end sure made it
seem like a finale.

Well, here, it really got to be the same thing over and over again.  For
the longest time, they kept repeating the same couple of seasons (early
2000's) over and over.  I would always check to see if it was an episode I
had seen before, and eventually noticed that they'd finally moved on
to newer ones.
 
I am glad to see that they have finally started showing some of the prior to
the ones we were seeing.  Now if we could only get the local PBS station to
start showing some older episodes of "Last of the Summer Wine"...  ;-)
