Why do Americans love to run their tv shows into the ground?

Why do the actors agree to stay around for that long?

Why do the British and Scandinavians do it so much better?

Some examples:

The Office, HIMYM, Castle, Lost, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, True Blood, Scrubs.

Generally speaking, american popular "culture" as a whole is on the decline. We are witnessing a memetical narrative collapse of the collective mind on a spenglerian scale right now

Because people keep watching. Because ads are a thing. Because networks don't care about quality only viewer counts.

How about all those great British shows that never got a finale or conclusion?

It works both ways.

The best thing is to know EXACTLY how your series is going to end (e.g. Babylon 5) so you don't stretch it out with filler and nonsense.

Everyone with a parachute on should have survived, as long as they kept calm.

If Fawlty Towers was made in America it would've ran for 12 seasons, not 12 episodes.

That's pretty sensible. Might even have been in case of situations like this (or slightly less dramatic, such as engine failure).
