Thank you, Zach, for paraphrasing what I just said to make it sound like an answer. It must be wonderful to love hearing yourself talk. My question was why these shows didn't get the chance to say goodbye?
My theory on PYL was that CBS decided to air reruns on the show during the summer of '86 with (at least) one month of shows in the can so they could figure out what to do with the slot. When they decided to cancel it and end programming the 4pm time period altogether, they decided to air the last month of shows, but the set was probably already struck by then, so no "official" last show.

In the case of MG7x on CBS, I think the answer to "Why the show didn't get a chance to say goodbye?" was the show was cancelled before they got a chance to show some three weeks of episodes taped for CBS. The goodbye wasn't for long, as the show did move to five-a-week syndication come September.
