As we stare down the barrel of BoJack Horseman’s final hurrah set to happen on January 31st on Netflix, it will be interesting to see how this one shapes up. Final seasons aren’t always as fondly remembered as final episodes are they? Like who really gave a fuck about The Office without Michael Scott which made his return at that show’s almost-finale a savior to the show’s legacy. And while I don’t give a shit about Game of Thrones, I heard enough about that show’s final season that should keep me comfortable that I never got hooked on the venerable franchise in the first place. Seth MacFarlane has said in interviews in the past that usually, the magic number of when a show starts to jump the shark is around season seven, of which I have to agree (especially when it comes to Family Guy). But, with BoJack Horseman having done so much for the adult animation industry in giving us the likes of Lisa Hanawalt, Kate Purdy, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and others who have since gone on to create/produce other wonderful examples of intellectual property that are not only taking hold of the contributions that this franchise has made but in some cases even surpassing them in execution, I can’t help but think that if Raph truly had an ending in mind for the show even from the beginning that he would get more out of seeing that come to pass versus being on the wrong side of a popular quote made famous in The Dark Knight…”You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.

BoJack Horseman is “hero” status.
