Default 10 Things that could have made the Finale better

10. Not having it connected to the start of Three's a Crowd

9. Closing out the Furley character

8. Closing out the Larry character

7. Bringing the Cindy character back to attend Janet's wedding

6. Explaining why Terri was moving to Hawaii

5. Bringing the Ropers back to attend Janet's wedding

4. Having the wedding somewhere else besides the apartment

3. Having the wedding reception somewhere else besides furley apt

2. Having the Ropers, Cindy, Furely, Larry, and the trio all at the Beagle one last time

1. Having everyone back at the apartment before everyone goes their seperate ways and when everyone is leaving have JANET be the last one to look in the apt one last time before shutting the door since she lived their the longest



What do you think?

10. Not having it connected to the start of Three's a Crowd - I never liked the Vicki character and thought it was a pretty weak premise with such a short introduction to the character

9. Give Furley an opening for his own spin-off

8. Heck, I would've made Larry and Furley roomates - two swingin' bachelors loose in the big city.

7. Bringing the Cindy character back to attend Janet's wedding - i would've tried to bring back some of the more colorful characters from thoughout the show's run, maybe even bring back the long-lost original roommate that Jack replaced

6. i don't know if anyone cared that much, but I thought they did explain why Terri was moving to Hawaii

5. Janet's storyline was very rushed - if they wanted to marry her off, they should've made it a season-long story with a better character, I also would've had janet become the owner of her own flower shop

4. Having the wedding somewhere else besides the apartment - that was definitely a little weird - way too small of a room

3. see #2

2. the gang all should've ended up at the Beagle one last time - I would've had the reception THERE.

1. I would've made it a 1-hour or full TV-movie special - I also would've had it end the same way it began with a big party and Jack passing out drunk in the tub

Wasn't it some nursing thing? Idk, I think she only briefly mentioned it once. There was only like a minute spent on Terri's departure when the rest of the episode revolved around Janet's marriage and Jack moving in with that girl.

Watching it now and she said wanted to be a nurse in Hawaii because she would be more useful

It was time for Furley to get a companion at his age. He was too old to be a wingman

What made it crazy was she never mentioned anything in previous episodes about going for a job in Hawaii just came out with it in the last episode out of nowhere

It would have been great for Furley if Lana came back and fell madly in love with him! The two could run off together to Tahiti!

Not sure why they couldn't close out furley with a nice lady. The show ends with him being a lonely old man with no one to be with

And that is so sad. I like weird, nutty, fun lovin' Furley. I hated that the show didn't have a happy ending for him.

In an older episode where the gang thought Furley was going to commit suicide, he (Furley) had a big crush on brother Bart's secretary Nancy. Nancy even came to Furley's party. She could have come back for the finale, too, and run off with Furley. I liked Furley with Nancy.

That Nancy lady was also on All in the Family as "Boom-Boom Turner."

Furley had a chance to get a woman in season 7, took her back to his apartment and then she wanted to make out but he was SCARED???????? And not only that he got her back together with her ex-husband LMAO

I will watch that episode tonight, one of the best of season 7

Yes Janet owning her own flower shop would have been great.

I did always ship Furley with Nancy haha. Funny that I'm not the only one who thought that. She was fun and I liked her for him. It was a shame that she never came back around.
