Shows endings=big disappointments!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There were alot of shows that had disappointing endings. Like on I Love Lucy. It ended just like that with no telling what would become of them. And The Honeymooners(classic 39) ended like that too. I was hoping they'd have Ralph finally win money or get a promotion or something like that. What shows endings brought you disappointment?!

You're right, VVFan. I Love Lucy ended on a very weak episode and was disappointing. I too would have liked to have seen Ralph Kramden have some good luck, or maybe Alice winning new furniture or something like that.

One ending that left a bad taste in my mouth was from one of my favorite shows, Roseanne.

Hogan's Heroes. Ended with a normal episode. Which always sucks.

Maybe Lucy didn't have an ending because it was continuing as 1hr specials for the last three seasons from 57-60.

a good final episode for the Honeymooners would've been Ralph and Alice getting a better apartment.

i agree Roseanne's final episode sucked

i wish that The Jeffersons,Archie Bunkers Place and Different Strokes had final episodes

Along with Soap and Mork & Mindy

I guess sometimes a show doesn't have a good ending because they don't know that they are ending until they are cancelled.

I loved Roseanne's ending. I thought it was a great way to show how Roseanne took control of her show and made it her own.

The ones with the bad endings were definitely Full House, Grounded for Life, Step by Step, and Family Matters

TripperFan · 06-12-2007, 12:23 PM

I hated the way Mad About You ended. Showed them in the future and how they had split up. WTF is that? The whole show was about how much they loved each other, what best friends they were through thick and thin and then they do a two-part finale about them breaking up. It sucked.

I'm still deciding whether the Sopranos finale sucked or not. Seemed like a bit of a copout at the very least.

I forgot to mention that Benson didn't have an ending, they left it up in the air.

i was so peed off with the ending of the last episode of season 4 of caroline in the city. i have only watched that episode twice, since i bought the dvd last october because it was so sad and i found it painful to sit through it. i hated the bit especially when caroline and richard split up in the airport. just terrible writing. bloody terrible. i mean yes it was cancelled and so if the writers and the producers knew at the time, CITC would be cancelled, then they would've skipped all that randy crap and give the fans the happy ending they wanted to see

.unfortunately though, they didn't, although most of the fourth season was lousy to say the least anyway

yeah i agree with you. WTF was all that about eh? will and grace have a argument, they no longer become friends, then fast forward a couple of years later and will's son- from his marriage to his boyfriend- and grace's daughter from her marriage to her boyfriend- get together and help reunite the two and thus they make up and become friends again? it was such a stupid storyline that it was totally unneccessary and pointless

I was disappointed with the ending for Three's Company--Chrissy didn't show up for the wedding, and the show had jumped the shark several times by then. MASH's ending was disappointing too, because by then it had pretty much become the Alan Alda Show.

Tubehead · 06-12-2007, 06:38 PM

I didn't like the ending to quatam leap. it show him leaping around in time. but never did say he got to go home. I would like to see him leap home or go back to his own time.
