"Family Matters"! That was such a great show, one of the best sitcoms of the 90s, except for two things:
1: They suffered from the "child suddenly goes missing" syndrom.
2: (which is more on topic for this thread) Steve couldn't get that shallow no-good conceited bitch Laura out of his head, even after he had found the perfect girl in Myra.

I can't believe I forgot "Alf", but then, I haven't seen the last episode yet, but only heard about it.

Archie Bunker's Place/All in the family - You would think after 13 years, CBS would have given the show a better send off.

The Jeffersons - The last episode was a talent show which is somewhat acceptable for a finale but they did not know it was going to be the last season of the show. CBS should have given sooner notice so they could have prepared something even better.

Moesha - That final episode was a cliffhanger written under the assumption that the show was gonna comeback for another season.

Grace Under Fire - The show was never given a proper finale because it was pulled due to Brett Butler's behaviour and trouble with the law.

Melrose Place 2.0 - Heather Locklear's character "Amanda" is arrested and we don't get a chance to see how she spectacularly gets her way out of the situation.

The Golden Palace - This extension of the Golden Girl characters. I heard it was on the table for CBS to renew but then was canceled.

The ending for Three's Company felt a bit anti-climatic and rushed. I didn't like how it was essentially, a backdoor pilot for the failed Three's a Crowd spin-off. Also, I would've preferred Jack to end up with Janet instead of having them paired with boring characters that we know little about.

I caught the show Quantum Leap in reruns on Scifi a few years back and I didn't like the final episode. It was confusing and in the end Sam never leaped back home

I think the final episode of QL was the worst episode they ever had. It was too confusing.

MASH.---The 2 1/2 hour finale was not as good as it should have been.Don't get me wrong it was ok,but it did not match the quality of the show itself.There were even actresses(in small parts) playing nurses in the finale that never appeared in the show before.On the plus side at least the show did have a final episode.
