It ended too soon

Gravity Falls was such a great show, but it really ended far sooner than it ought to have. I think that was mostly because of the creator losing interest and wanting to go do something else. Still however, it really needed at least one or more season.
So many untapped ideas for future exploring of the town, meeting new characters, and having new enemies besides Bill and Gideon could have been implemented. Wendy could have had more episodes of going on adventures with Dipper and Mabel. Robbie could have been given some moments to shine and be a hero. Hell, Pacifica was on her way to becoming a fully fleshed out character before the show ended. We could have seen her bond with Mabel and rebel against her controlling parents, while still being the bossy rich girl.

Hirsch didn't lose interest, he just didn't have anything else to say and feared the show losing its spark. Gravity Falls was never meant to be a running serial with characters that aged, it was a single summer inspired by the childhood of Alex and Ariel Hirsch with a clear-cut beginning, middle and end.

Do I wish it had gone on? Yes and no. Obviously I wish there were more episodes to watch of one of my all-time favorite shows, but it remains one of the rare shows with virtually no poor episodes. It shone brightly for a short time and that's beautiful in its own way. It reminds me of its obvious inspiration Twin Peaks in that regard.
