THree's Company with a doubt. Not one supporting character from the previous years were brought back, and there was no last visit to the Reagle Beagle.

Sanford and Son...Did the actor realize that this was the last episode? Whippee Do Dah Fred get's high High School Dipolma:rolleyes: I think the finale of Sanford and Son should had been a double wedding between Fred and Donna and Lamont and his fiancee...

Laverne & Shirley. The last episode really wasn't a finale of the series just "another" episode. It wasn't that good either and the episode was primarily about Carmine, not Laverne. The last episode at least should have been about Laverne.

Roseanne, no question. The whole final season of that show is a disappointment.

I used to hate the Seinfeld finale, but as time went by, it grew on me. I still have the tape I made from the original NBC airing.

The last ep of S&S was not a finale, it was just a normal episode. The series wasn't supposed to end, it was supposed to come back that fall. When NBC couldn't resolve issues with the principal stars of the show, they created the continuation series, Sanford Arms which lasted only several weeks.

Seinfeld. I hate the episode. I'll still watch it but it could have and should have been better.

Roseanne, on the other hand, has grown on me. I used to hate it but now I love it.

No one said Bewitched? The finale of that show wasn't a finale at all. Just another episode...a carbon copy from a PREVIOUS episode, which makes it worse. What a bad way to end a great series.

The Facts Of Life, not a good series OR season finale. It was too much of a pilot for a failed spinoff attempt with Blair. So Natalie and Tootie all had about 2 minutes in the final hour, and Jo only had 5. Yet we had a whole 30-40 minutes of Mayim Bialic, a young Seth Green and Pippa. And to add insult to injury, the real cheesy last 2 minutes that "Wrap everything up", Natalie wasn't even in the picture, but on the phone long-distance.

the series finale of Sex And The City was disapointing too. 35 of the 45 minutes was Carrie in Paris with Baryshnakov. And the episode also showed just what went wrong about the last season, that it became a drama instead of a comedy, outside of the scene toward the end where Carrie's chasing Big up the flight of stairs and purposely trips him, there was NO HUMOR for the entire 45 minutes. And to make matters worse, they throw in a brand new subplot about Miranda having to take care of Steve's ailing mother.

It was a mess, and since the movie is back on, I hope it injects comedy back into the series, because that last season was way too much of a drama.

That is exactly what I was going to say. Three's Company was an awesome show, and it didn't deserve to have a finale like that. I would have loved it if Jack and Janet would have gotten married. I don't know why they wanted to bring Philip and Vicki to the show. They could have ended the show in so many different ways, and I don't know why they wanted to end such a wonderful program the way they did.

Married...With Children

Laverne and Shirley (Didn't really like the last season, b/c of no Shirley)

8 Simple Rules (Just another episode, and wasn't surrounded around the family. with Nicole Richie as a guest, dear god)

All In The Family (Although it wasn't a series finale, b/c the show continued with a different name, it still sucks when we watch it in syndication.)

Archie Bunker's Place. (Was canceled. A random episode was shown)

Full House (Didn't rap up the series properly. Not their fault because they thought they were getting picked up for a new season....It was a good episode though)

Family Matters (Same as Full House)

Step By Step (The finale was one-part, and was rushed. It was also identical to a Full House episode...They thought they were getting picked up for another season, but made that episode just in case)

***I blame the newworks for these dissapointing Finales. They should tell them their getting axed, so they'd have a chance to say goodbye to their fans. Especially shows that have been successful on their networks, and have been there for 7, 8, and 9 years.***

That was a show that ran on fumes it's final season. It was already out of gas, but it somehow sputtered limply down the road. Given the way Shirley had been written out, I think it was appropriate that the show didn't have a final episode.

Unless they were going to bring back Shirley, why bother??

In the interest of fairness and disclosure, I was never a huge Laverne & Shirley fan. It was an okay show before the California years. If it hadn't been a Happy Days spinoff, I probably wouldn't have bothered with it.

It FORCED them to have the show end in a situation where Joey would be able to leave for LA and have it make sense.... they couldn't have made it where the viewer can assume the friends are still "hanging out" or what not together, they had to make it so that they all went on different paths, and of course, they didn't even really mention what Joey's plans were, so that the pilot of Joey could do that. Trust me, if "Joey" wouldn't have been created, they would have had a lot of other options of how to end the show, and they probably would have done it differently.

actually, I think the Golden Girls finale works perfectly, with or without the spinoff. It had what an ending should usually have, someone getting married and moving away, effectively ending the show. The ending of Golden Girls was sad and effective, and even if Golden Palace never happened, it was a great way to go out. A lot better than if it was just a "normal episode". IMO, series finales are really meant to be "the end of an era" for a show, so while they're usually sad, give it an ending where people are going to start crying in the last 10 minutes (ok, maybe not CRYING, but go in a "man, I'm going to miss this show" way) and do an effective job of closing the chapter on the show, IMO, Golden Girls and Friends did just that.

I hate it when shows go out anticlimatically, like many of the big shows from the 70's and early 80's did (save MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Happy Days and a few others), a series finale should bring an end, not an open-ending.

Just because a show is ending doesn't mean the characters need to move away from each other or stop seeing each other. What if Dorothy had gotten married and moved out of the house, but still lived in Miami? They had to make her move farther away so it would make sense that the other girls would buy the hotel, and explain why Dorothy never came to "visit". And a finale doesn't have to be just a "normal episode", even if the people don't move away from each other.

I agree with HUNG UP. A series finale should be the end of the story. If the characters all stay together, then I know there are more stories to tell that I'm gonna miss out on.

That's why I loved "The Odd Couple" finale. Because Felix remarries Gloria and moves out of Oscar's apartment. Both of those were things wanted by the characters since the beginning. And I don't wonder what Felix and Oscar are up to at that apartment? or I wonder if Felix ever got Gloria back?


So not counting just regular episodes (because they aren't finales in my opinion, just the last episode):

Roseanne - I think it's a good episode, but the ending has screwed up the reruns for me. I'm confused about what's the book and what was real for the characters. Oddly enough, I loved the first part of the episode, where it was just the family all together at the house. Then Roseanne had to ruin it with her long monologue.

Everybody Loves Raymond - First of all, it was a good episode. I liked that they didn't go in for a big hour long finale like most popular shows do these days. However, even though it was the final episode (and they knew it) it seemed more like a regular episode. So based on that, I've put this episode in the list. There was no finale plot to the episode. I really wanted to see someone move away or make some life changing decision.

Sliders - By this point, only Rembrandt was left from the original cast. Their timer was broken, so they couldn't slide to another world. A seer, who had predicted all of the past events (such as Arturo being killed) predicted that the next slide would bring instant death. The sliders found a way to open up a wormhole, but it was damaged. Only one person could slide through it. Rembrandt said his goodbyes to everyone and jumped into the vortex, headed for his home world (which was invaded by the evil ape-like race, Kromaggs). After he slide, the seer died of a heart attack so they don't know what happened to Rembrandt and neither do we. There was talk about a reunion movie, but nothing has happened and the show ended in 2000.

Ellen - (In a Way) - It's a funny episode, but it's more like a funny special. It's not a regular episode with the group, but a fake look back at Ellen's career. Going back to her vaudeville act in the 1920's to her sitcom "Ellen" beginning in like 1959 to the present day where she had come out as a lesbian. Like I say, it's a funny, funny episode. However, it wasn't an episode with the characters that much. Of course, by the fifth season, I can't picture what the finale could have been about. All the big things in Ellen's life have already happened (she's gay, she left the apartment for a home, she left Buy the Book, she got a girlfriend).

As for the "Seinfeld" finale. I think it sounded good. The idea of ALL the past guest stars coming back and putting the four characters on trial and then sending them all to jail. It sounds great. But I think it just might have been a bit too big for this show about nothing. Nonetheless, I liked the episode and was surprised to hear all the negative response the next day and on.

I remember one kid at school said "They should have killed them all off. That would have made it a real finale."

I agree with HUNG UP. A series finale should be the end of the story. If the characters all stay together, then I know there are more stories to tell that I'm gonna miss out on.

exactly, I think this is a reason why a lot of people are still crossing their fingers for Cheers (okay, Frasier had left, but it's not as if Sam had decided to close the bar) and Seinfeld (since the four of them ended up in prison together) to come back, because the way those shows ended, it was in a way that there was still the door open to other episodes. Hell, from the day after Sex And The City's last episode aired, people have been asking Sarah Jessica Parker to do a reunion, because the show ended in such a way that there could be more episodes if they ever decide they want to do it.

Who knows that maybe Dorothy became a widow and she, Rose, Blanche and Sophia moved back together, but the way the show ended was great, having Dorothy move increased the emotional factor for the ending, similar to the last episode of Family Ties, do you think Alex leaving would've been quite as sad if he was just moving out of the house and getting an apartment 10 minutes away? no... but Alex accepting a job offer in NYC and moving definately gave the show closure.

Cheers - Sam and Diane should had married.

Alice - Alice and Travis should had married as well as she finally reached her dream of becoming a singer.

Sanford and Son - NBC knew that the 1976-77 season was going to be the last one and they should had either Fred and Donna marrying off as well as Lamont getting back together with Janet and getting married. Lamont and Janet was a good couple and the chemistry between them was there.

The Cosby Show - It looked more like a regular episode. Cosby should had let go of his personal issue with Lisa Bonet and let her come back for the finale.

Three's Company - It would had been nice if the show could had put their personal issues with Suzanne Somers aside and let her come back for one last time to see Janet married Philip (only wishing it was Jack). The Roper's should had been invited back as well.

Bewitched - Since Liz Montgomery pulled the plug for the show it would had been nice to wrap up the show instead of the lame remake of a previous episode.

Family Ties - Was not impressed with the final episode.

Too Close for Comfort/The Ted Knight Show - They should had a finale paying tribute to Ted Knight. I knew the show would not been good if they tried to continue on without Ted Knight. There were reports that Nancy Dussault, Ted's TV wife Muriel Rush, wanted to do a show to pay tribute to Ted but the studio nixed the idea.

I think Cheers had a perfect finale. There were some indications of change (Frasier and Lilith separated and Woody going into politics), but by and large, it was business as usual. Even Sam Malone realized that marrying Diane would have been a big mistake. Whatever happened, he always had the bar.

As for The Ted Knight Show - by the time Ted Knight sadly and abruptly passed away, the show was in first-run syndication, which was a new thing for sitcoms at that time. All of the actors took pay cuts to continue the show, because they didn't have network money being thrown at them. Perhaps that's why they didn't do a tribute to Ted Knight. Just a guess.

It was actually the final season's premiere. They moved to a retirement community and essentially gave their house to Robert & Amy. The fun part was when Frank and Marie returned and had to move in with newlyweds Robert & Amy.

I think the most disappointing coverage of a series finale was the one given to Frasier a couple of years back. It was going off the air the same time as Friends, which got all the magazine covers & TV coverage.

However, Frasier's finale was better written, touching and well-done, wheras the Friends finale was a disappointment. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been a lot better.

speaking of "Frasier" I remember seeing Kelsey Grammar on with Jay Leno one night about a week or something, before the "Frasier" finale. He was talking about it, & saying that he was scheduled to be interviewed on the "Today" show. His publicist suggested, and he agreed, it would be good to also have on James Arness (Matt Dillion on "Gunsmoke") since he's the only other actor who played the same character for years, or something like that ("Gunsmoke" ran 20 years; Kelsey played Frasier for 9 years on "Cheers" then 11 years on "Frasier"). James Arness called and said he couldn't make it; but before he hung up he said "Oh, by the way, tell Kelsey Grammar ***** you!" :lol: :lol: (he was only kidding, of course!)

Actually, Frasier & Lilith were back together again by the series finale. Then somewhere between the events of the finale and the pilot of Frasier, they got divorced.

That's right. I now remember Frasier commenting on how he was going home to Lilith. I always liked them as a couple...comedy gold.

Roseanne - blah, that was terrible.

8 Simple Rules - It was a regular episode, you would have thought after looking at the ratings for Season 3 and the chance of renewal they would have made an episode with more closure just in case.

Married with Children - The only Series that had an excuse, it was ofcourse never thought to be the finale.

old thread, but newer example. Veronica Mars. Rob Thomas should've known from the ratings that there was very little chance of renewal yet instead of wrapping the series up, he created a whole new slew of mysteries that are never going to be solved. He should've swallowed his pride and assumed that there was very little chance of renewal and given the show a sendoff instead of a really weak "series finale"

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

The Wonder Years had, by far, the worst series finale. Not only did Kevin lose his car gambling at the resort where Winnie worked, he and Winnie never got married. Had the powers that be at ABC had the brains to (1) aggressively market this show and (2) realize this show needed closure (which could have easily been obtained had it gone just one--ONE!!!--more season to have the gang graduate McKinley High) and brought back the original writers from 1988-91, the show could have gone to #1 in the Nielsen ratings. Instead, we the people got a terrible finale to a terrible final season. There, I feel better (again).

Of course, it should be noted for those who wanted Kevin and Winnie to end up together, Fred Savage married his childhood sweetheart.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

The Wonder Years had, by far, the worst series finale. Not only did Kevin lose his car gambling at the resort where Winnie worked, he and Winnie never got married. Had the powers that be at ABC had the brains to (1) aggressively market this show and (2) realize this show needed closure (which could have easily been obtained had it gone just one--ONE!!!--more season to have the gang graduate McKinley High) and brought back the original writers from 1988-91, the show could have gone to #1 in the Nielsen ratings. Instead, we the people got a terrible finale to a terrible final season. There, I feel better (again).

Of course, it should be noted for those who wanted Kevin and Winnie to end up together, Fred Savage married his childhood sweetheart.

I don't know . . . remember, this wasn't even supposed to the series finale. It was just supposed to be the season finale. But then they found out at the last minute that they got cancelled, and changed the last few scenes, and it became the series finale. Definitely a better season finale, but I wouldn't call it the worst.

I agree. The last season of Caroline was pitiful.

as i mentioned before in the caroline in the city board of this site, the first two were great- great writing, funny. the third was kinda good but the fourth was just a disaster, even though i liked caroline and richard as a couple. but it was the manner the writers handled their relationship which angered me a lot. :mad:

Full House had a poor ending, it should not have been all about Michelle. That was an insult to the entire cast. JMHO!!
