Notable exception: The Wire.

5 seasons, each covering a specific topic (politics, drug dealing, media) beyond telling the story, and when they ran out of topics and told the entire story they had, they just wrapped it up... they could've easily milked it and made 5 more meaningless seasons but luckily didn't.

Season 5 was already becoming somewhat shaky on The Wire though (at least in my opinion, the serial killer plot was a bit too much). Still one of my favorite shows of all time.
