Story's Over, But Enjoy The Music Video

A number of TV dramas seem to be stretching things out a bit. The story reaches its climax and instead of a quick denouement, they play a slow, sad song and show the various characters reacting to recent events. This has, in fact, become a cliche.

I know TV requires a sort of cookie-cutter writing, with so much time for each act, and little cliffhangers to keep the viewer interested, but this new, "arty" type of ending has about zero entertainment value. Let's stop it, shall we?
