Gravity Falls is ending

[Tilas]

So it was announced that Gravity Falls will end for good at the end of Season 2.  There's only 2 episodes remaining.

I was a late fan, only getting into the show partway through season 2 (so I had to go back and re-watch everything), but I really enjoyed the series. For the long time fans of the show, what are your thoughts? Personally, I'm very grateful they're ending it where they are. As it was said, it was meant to be one summer, and it can't go on forever. Let it conclude on a high note, instead of going on forever and losing it's appeal, like so many other shows. It's so rare we see cartoon series complete their storylines. Far too many derail, or are cancelled before the arc is finished (Young Justice for example...) I think it's a good place to stop, as the story is finished.  What do you think? Happy or sad we're saying goodbye to the Pines?

I knew this day would come. The show is about two kids spending the summer with a relative, just a summer...so...yeah.

Still, this is an amazing show that I'll miss and I'm glad that it will have a definite end, not a rushed "oh God we're being canceled" end. I'll definitely have to get all the episodes on DVD!

It won't be rushed, cause it's not a cancelling, it's an ending of choice. The last ep is a full hour finale, so I think it's going to be awesome.

Haha, I know. That's why I said I'm glad that it won't have a rushed ending. I'm sure the finale will be great!

I'm sad to hear it's almost over, but honestly, I think it's really great that they're sticking to the original "just one summer" plan and not keeping it going because "it's popular".

And hey, the end of the show doesn't necessarily mean we'll never see the Pines family again. They could always do more stories in book/comic form; I seem to remember the creators of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" put out a series of graphic novels that served as kind of an epilogue to the series. I'd love to see something like that for Gravity Falls.

Ah, forgive me, I missed that word.   But yah, it's looking to be good. I just have to wait to find it online.

A good story has to know when to end itself. It is a lot better than dragging it on and on and on.

Aww man! Sorry to hear but like you, I'm not surprised. Although it's really nice to know that it will have a real ending compared to so many other shows, especially kids' shows, that just ends without viewers really being aware. I can't wait for the DVD's!

That's sad. It was a neat show.

I'm sad to hear it, but I'm not surprised; I'd been suspecting it for a while (since there were so few episodes left in the season, and we hadn't heard anything about a third season). I'm glad it's ending at a good point and it isn't going to be dragged on forever! I'm excited to see the finale Although I think it still hasn't entirely sunk in for me that it's nearly over.. it probably won't until it actually ends ;

I'm not a Gravity Falls fan (I don't go near Disney channel unless there's an old school movie on) but reading the thread and how its about kids having adventures during the summer and how its ending by choice, it maycome back....

Just putting my 2 cents in
