I believe this was requested before and the general consensus was that people have a hard enough time setting the existing status and would likely not make use of additional ones.

In the interests of keeping it simple but providing some useful extra info, the addition of just "Final Season" would be the most useful, IMO. Just my $0.02.

We actually use to have most of those status. People never updated them properly and the whole field was a mess. It was brought down to just the two options to clean it up. To be honest though the whole field was almost removed because of how useless it was with so many options.

Only chance of it coming back is if we start assigning moderators to individual shows. This might happen in the future and might make this choice a viable option again.

how about adding some logic to key off the first/last ep to modifiy the status (like tvrage does..) also could add logic to not let someone mark a show as ended if the last ep date hasnt passed? or at least prompt them to make sure they want to do it?
