Graduation for either Willis or Arnold. I'm about 97% sure there was never a graduation episode but if i'm wrong feel free to tell me.

No, there wasn't ever one- that would have made a good episode.

You can tell that to the creators of The Wonder Years! (talk about INCOMPLETE!!!)

Oops, I'm

But I dont think a series should end with a graduation.

(Unless the focus of the show is on one or a group of students.... and they are shown in school regularly, The Wonder Years is a great example)

I think that Graduations are used to easily as "goodbyes".
The Cosby Show ended with one.... and it was one of the show's worst episode.

And The Brady Bunch ended with a graduation episode (but it was suppossed to come back).... and it was the WORST episode of the series. (now I understand why they cancelled it)

I wasn't saying use it as a Goodbye episode, it just would have been a good episode idea for Willis.

I agree, it would make a great episode.

I just think Graduations are used too easily as cop-outs for finales.
