Yes, sienfeild was bad, so was mad about you and wings.. and yes mwc... but the worst was PUNKY BREWSTERS final episode on NBC ( before it went into syndication) and also the final Cybill was a shame... also veronicas closet ( as was the whole last season) and also suddenly susan/caroline int the city.

IMHO the worst series finale out there would have to have been that of "The Wonder Years." Kevin lost his car gambling, he and Winnie have a big argument after he hits her boyfriend (and she gets fired from the resort), and there is a scene in which Kevin and Winnie are alone in a barn. The narrator is very vague as to what happens to Kevin ("I was on my way." On my way WHERE???). Very un-TWYlike IMHO. (I mean, compare that to the first three seasons! The first three were among the best IMHO.)

It's too bad the series had to end there. I always thought the series could have continued for ten (yes, 10!!!) more seasons.

THE WORST FINAL EPISODE IN TV HISTORY IS ROSEANNE!
THE WORST LAST SEASON OF ANY SITCOM IN TV HISTORY IS ROSEANNE!

I love the show Who's the Boss, and I wouldn't call their final episode bad, it was just a little disappointing. I would have loved to see Tony and Angela finally get married, but unfortunately we never got to see that. The last episode was still very touching though, at least for me.

Roseanne.... A dream sequence at the end worked for Newhart, because it was cleverly done. However, a dream sequence or in this case, a work of fiction, cannot make up for horiffic writing. The final season of Roseanne had written her into such a corner that this was the only way to gracefully end the show. The entire last season was a slap in the face to long time fans.

As much I as loved Wings, I have to admit that the series finale, and the whole last season, was pretty mediocre. It should have ended with Joe and Helen's wedding, IMHO.

In my opinion, that would be Married...With Children. That episode was made as a season finale. It ended up being the last episode because FOX, in its infinite wisdom, forgot to tell the people involved with the show it was being cancelled before they shot the episode. This for a show that not only was on for 11 years but the first show ever broadcast on FOX!

Ed O'Neill still holds a grudge against because of what they did. A while back, FOX wanted to do a Married...With Children reunion movie. Ed's suggestion for the story was that it start at Al's funeral.

actually MWC was NOT THE FIRST SHOW EVER BROADCAST ON FOX, heres what happened, in 1985 SMAll WONDER was aring in syndicated channels which later became FOX< so some people believe that SMALL OWNDER was the first FOX show BROADCAST, although others believe that THE JOAN RIVERS LATE SHOW WAS THE FIRST FOX SHOW EVER, as it aired as FOX's debut series on March 17, 1986.

Of course, another reason it was so horrible was because no one knew it was the last episode... it all just kinda fell apart. I guess that any show that didn't really know it was getting cancelled yet had really bad final episodes.

And of course the last words were

Me Cousin Oliver.

My www.jumptheshark.com vote should be posted whenever; let me say it concerns:

"Brady Revelations" Look for it. It'll have those exact words in the thread.
