7 years is a sweet spot with American TV. If they don't wrap it up after 7 season it just becomes shit. X-Files should have ended at 7. Stargate SG-1 at 7. In fact a lot of them were written for a good closing at 7 years but studios just have the need for enshitification for that ad money.
Think of the legendary good shows that knew when to end at 7 years. Or 5 years.
Simpsons needed 8, so we get the conclusion of who shot Mr. Burns. But that's still damn close.
"Behind the laughter" (s11 finale) is a fine stopping point.
That one too, yes.
