As cliche as it is, I'm hoping for a flash forward to the 21st century at the end of the show's run. A theme I keep running into when researching and talking about this show online is the contextualisation of the lives of the characters in regards to the time period.  Along with the general narrative theme of family and all the pain that comes along with it, I feel that it'd be fitting to see a glimpse of the 'forthcoming' generation of Murphys.  I'm not hoping for an entire episode to be dedicated to a new time period (as other family based sitcoms have done) just a sequence that validates the struggles and the lessons. 

Any thoughts?
