What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations? (leminal.space)

When watching a show a while after it's released you can sometimes tell when a show was canceled because a season will end on a big (occasionally spiteful) event.

The following season after it's picked back up occasionally stumbles a bit but I'm wondering what examples can you think of that were especially bad?

In regards to Simpsons, I'd say that expecting that but not any other sign of passing time is a bit ridiculous. They're literally stuck in time. They do not age. Why expect anything else?

But then they also do things like flashback episodes that show Homer & Marge as teenagers in the 90s when they previously had them meet in the 70s because the show's so damn old now.

But also, it's a cartoon so it's not like it's obligated to make sense anyway. Just do whatever I guess lol.
