Certainly, but few such works go on for 42+ episodes without any changes
at all to the characters or the situation.
Don't recall who said is, but it was said: In a work of fiction, the
events depicted are the most interesting things which will ever happen
to that specific group of characters.
I can think of quite a few TV series which should have been limited run
rather than open-ended.
