Well, according to Wiki, the last scheduled episode aired in December 2008. There were 3 final unaired episodes they burned off in June the following year. Maybe you never saw those final 3.

I really liked Alcatraz and Journeyman. The creators of Journeyman did an interview several months after the show was canned, where they talked about the plans they had to further explain the time traveling.

The series was cancelled after only 10 episodes were aired, by which point only "The Curse Of Dracula" had reached its conclusion. However, one unaired episode (which did air overseas) featured the two concluding chapters of "The Secret Empire" as well as the final part of "Stop Susan Williams." American viewers later got a chance to see the concluding part of "Stop Susan Williams" in the TV-movie The Girl Who Saved The World which re-edited the eleven installments into a single two-hour movie ("Curse Of Dracula" was also re-edited as two TV-movies for later airing).

This is a bit odd topic, but I feel like most TV shows devote so much time to the build up of a cliffhanger, then the resolution is either disappointing or wrapped up in like the first 10 minutes of the premiere and then it's back to treading water. Is it just a product of having too many episodes to produce in a normal American television season?

Of course with DVRs and streaming, this doesn't quite have the same effect as it used to.

I had always had an ending to Earl and I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to see it happen. You’ve got a show about a guy with a list so not seeing him finish it is a bummer. But the truth is, he wasn’t ever going to finish the list. The basic idea of the ending was that while he was stuck on a really hard list item he was going to start to get frustrated that he was never going to finish it. Then he runs into someone who had a list of their own and Earl was on it. They needed to make up for something bad they had done to Earl. He asks them where they got the idea of making a list and they tell him that someone came to them with a list and that person got the idea from someone else. Earl eventually realizes that his list started a chain reaction of people with list and that he’s finally put more good into the world than bad. So at that point he was going to tear up his list and go live his life. Walk into the sunset a free man. With good karma.
