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

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.

State your show that had a weak series Finale

Sanford and Son...Did the actor realize that this was the last episode? Whippee Do Dah Fred get's high High School Dipolma

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.

Roseanne had the worst final.

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.

AKA, you and I are opposite LOL. Directly.

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.

That is what I figured..too bad...that they thought Sanford and Son was going to last to their 7th season...

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.

Dean Winchester · 04-25-2004, 02:10 PM

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.

Married with Children had a really bad ending, I didn't like it at all.
