The thing that complicates this is that there may not be a clear line between the two. There are obvious cases. However, if a show got renewed, but only for one more season, they could make an ending. Ended, right? But if they had planned to do three more seasons, it's not entirely that clear.
And then there are the shows that got cancelled but then got one or more episodes to wrap things up, but that also means they have to do so a lot more rushed. And how about a show that basically wrapped up its main storyline, but started a new one, only to get cancelled two seasons later? Or a show that was cancelled but that was so episodic that its basically indistinguishable from having ended? Or the ones that lived off of season arcs, where the only sign it's not an ending is a cliffhanger at the end that isn't that important to begin with...
