What show do you think had the Most Disappointing Series Finale? - Page 4 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Raisingdad2004 · 02-01-2006, 08:11 AM

Three's Company - how could they have made it any more obvious that was leading to a Spin-Off, for the love of god they could have stuck a sign saying watch Three's a Crowd this fall and it would have been a better episode.

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 agree. I was so annoyed by him. He wanted to leave things open to make it more difficult for The CW to cancel it. NOT A SMART MOVE!

Shows that had an actual SERIES Finale:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - For such an amazing show, it deserved so much better of an ending.

The OC - It was very rushed.

7th Heaven - The first series finale was well done. The second one was not.

The Sopranos - No comment.

The X-Files - No comment.

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 never really watched the show and yet I knew that one was disappointing.

Roseanne! In fact, to me, the end of the series is the Dan heart attack episodes. The entire last season starting with the lottery was a HORRIBLE disaster. I don't even watch when it's in repeats it's so bad.

I don't understand why so many people hate all of those lottery episodes.

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.
