1. NewsRadio - I still like it more than most fans do but I admit it was a HUGE dip in quailty.

2. Wings - No Lowell makes TVAdam very upset. He was the funniest guy on the show. Plus the plots got stupid. Still a great show, I just didn't enjoy the final season as much as the rest.

3. Ellen - Ellen being gay ... okay. That can still make for a funny show. However, the final season saw her quit her job at Buy the Book (the main setting of the show), move from her apartment to a house, the friends who had been in every episode were now only seen occasionally and Ellen got a bit serious. Like with all of my favorite shows, I stayed loyal and enjoy the final season (at times) but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been or as it used to be.

4. Sliders - By the fifth and final season, only Rembrant remained from the original cast. In the early seasons, it was simple. Four people from the same earth slide from dimension to dimension searching for their home world. But in the last season, everyone came from different earths and were battling Kromaggs that I often didn't know what their mission was.

5. Chico and the Man - After Freddie Prinze died, along with the Chico character, it was much too sad to see Ed Brown without him. The little kid was funny, but the show was off balance at this point. Charo stayed for a few episodes and eventually a teenage girl moved into the garage, living in an old parked van (just like Chico used to).

I actually liked them. I really got back into it on the Philly episodes, but I really enjoyed the Austin eps too. I think they focused too much on Danny and Melinda, and forgot the other cast. :)

Do you get to catch the reunion? I think all of them looked like that is the last place they felt like being, and it made me kind of sad. I doubt they'll all ever become friends.
Yeah, it was sad reality world television watching a group of people like that. Actually, real world has become a sort of "hot babes, hot guys" hook-up place. It's not edgy like it used to be. They used to get somewhat real people, now it seems they get people who will "stir things up with sex".

Facts Of Life - season 9 had it's moments, but I do think in hindsight they stayed a year too long, everyone seemed like they were over the show by the last year too. Ending in '87 would've really been a good thing considering the eight season was definately a high point

Charmed (this is the last season) - it's been leading to a slow painful death since Shannen Doherty left the show in 2001 (season 4 was great, seasons 5 and 6 were okay, season 7 was the nadir of the show, and season 8 hasn't been anything to write home about either), but the final straw for the show was firing Brian Krause and Dorian Gregory (both of which have been with the show since 1998) to make way for Kaley Cuoco, who is horribly out of place here and cannot act, definately put the final axe in what used to be one of the best supernatural shows on television

Angel - should've ended in 2003 when Buffy did, the final season was painful to watch and too many beloved characters were killed off. It was nice to see Spike surviving sacrificing himself to save Buffy in that shows series finale

Sex And The City - it stopped being funny in the sixth and final season, what was once a stylish, witty and raunchy series about single women in New York became a melodramatic soap opera where the characters were dealing with cancer, miscarriages, strokes and domestic abuse. It was all good until the final eight episodes (pt. 2 of season 6 on DVD) that aired in the start of 2004

Family Matters- A new Harriett (wtf), Urkle was too old to be acting the same way, Laura got fat. the show got boring.

Step By Step- some of the kids dissappeared, plus it was just boring.

The Facts of life- should have ended when Mrs. Garrett left. Beverly-Anne was always boring.

90210- by this point the show was too old.

Party Of Five- see above.

I personally liked the addition of Beverly. It was never the same as with Charlotte but the episodes in season 8 included some of the best ones they ever did, and you could tell they were all still loving their job at that point in time. I recently downloaded some season 8 episodes and actually think that the show was great then. It's heyday was definately the Eastland era, but the four of them clicked so well that it was nice watching them getting older, but by the last season, they were just out of ideas. Jo and Blair graduating college at the end of season eight was a perfect way for a series finale, and the ending of the last episode of eight where Jo leaves town on her motorcycle in the distance was a far more emotional and satisfying series ender than the finale we did get in '88.
