A TV show like this ends in any way whatsoever (2,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
as it comes
'any way whatsoever' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a tv show like this ends' is the wordplay.
'tv show' becomes 'sitcom' (I've seen this before).
'ends' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letters of 'like this' are 'es'.
'a'+'sitcom'+'es'='AS IT COMES'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for as it comes that I've seen before include "however produced" , "in no particular order" , "the way it's made" .)
