Family Matters and Step by Step were canceled and did not have a proper series finale

Taxi, Different Strokes, Hogan Family

I blame the producers of Family Matters for no great series finale. They had a full seasons worth of shows and their ratings were so low they had to know that getting canceled was a strong possibility, especially after Jo Marie-Peyton quit. The shows after that are just painful to watch.

Here are some soaps that switched networks: Search For Tomorrow ran from 1951-1982 on CBS, then switched to NBC from 1982-1986. Edge of Night originally aired on CBS from 1956-1975, then moved to ABC from 1975-1984. Those are the only shows I can think of at the moment...

Leave It To Beaver switched Networks but ran more than one season before being cancelled. Now you can technically add, Reba, 7th Heaven, and Gilmore Girls which went from WB to CW now getting cancelled.

Grounded for Life and Sabrina switched networks, but it wasn't in their final seasons.

My Three Sons ran for 5 seasons on ABC (1960-65), and then switched to CBS for 7 more (1965-72)!
