Isn't it a shame!?! Things that you wish happened on your favorite show but never did - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here's how this goes;

Isn't it a shame that:

1. Cheers- Sam and Diane never ended up with each other.
We never got to see Vera's face.

2. Jefferson's- There never was a series finale.

3. The Family Guy- Wasted away on Thursday nights!

4. Rhoda- Lost all of her appeal by dropping weight and becoming sexy.

5. Laverne and Shirley- Should have ended the show when Shirley left.

If I had creative control over shows I love...

The Simpsons- Stayed like it was the first 8 seasons.

Wings- Antonio and Casey would have gotten together. Lowell never would have left.

ER- Where do I begin? Doug, Carol, Benton, Mallucci, and Greene wouldn't have left. Lucy, Abby, Weaver, and Chen never would have joined. It wouldn't have gone from a hard-hitting medical drama to a melodramatic soap.

Everybody Loves Raymond- Ray and Debra move far away.

Cheers- Sam and Rebecca get married and have a kid.

NewsRadio- Phil Hartman wouldn't have died. (OK, I don't have control over that.)

Taxi- Would have gone on another season.

* I think Seinfeld retired too early.
* Sam and Diane should have gotten married on Cheers.
* Sally Rogers should've found a husband on The Dick Van Dyke Show. I also think that show should've gone another season or two.
* I wish Gideon's Crossing wasn't canceled.
* Three's Company wouldn't have had that God awful finale.
* All in the Family should have called it quits after Mike and Gloria left.
* Cheers should have made a huge deal out of Coach's death.

Julia and Reese should have gotten married and stayed married and had a daughter! I could be their daughter! I am their daughter!

Why didn't in the series finale of the Brady Bunch, Alice go crazy and chase all the kids with a chain saw, then the Mike and Sam the Butcher run off and live together, and have their own spinoff??!! I mean, I was sooooooo looking forward to that! I luv the Brady Bunch, and that would've been the perfect ending.

I don't know, TC. The cast of "The Brady Bunch" seemed to avoid violence altogether. To me violence and television don't mix.

"The Wonder Years" - ABC should have renewed the show for ten (yes, 10!!!) more seasons in 1993 instead of unceremoniously cancelling it; this event was hidden in all of the headlines of the ever-so-OVERRATED finale of "Cheers". To top it all, ABC didn't even bother to wait until sweeps week to air it!!!

An episode where the Arnolds meet the Bradys would have been good.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 04-23-2002, 01:42 PM

Cheers: I wish Sam and Diane would have gotten married.
Seinfeld: I wish Jerry and Elane would have gotten married.

First of all, the TC series finale would've had 4 parts.The first two would go as they did.Then the next week they show Janet and Phil the Pill in their new house and Phil abusing Janet and they divorce.Then they show Vicki and Jack's house with Jack and James in a fistfight.Vicki take's James' side and they breakup.Then the next episode Chrissy,Cindy,Lana,The Ropers,Jim the Bartender,Dean Travers,Angelino and Felipe all return for Jack and Janet's wedding.The tag shows them settling into the old apartment.Janet and Jack are now married and Chrissy,Cindy and Terri all live next door.That'd make me happy pappy!I might start a fanfic series based on it!

Laverne & Shirley:Walter The Mummy and Carmine's latest flame
run off together leaving Shirley and Carmine to relight their love,
and they get married at a double ceremony with Lenny and Laverne,but Squiggy looses the ring at the pony ride at a carnival
and they all have to go look for it..to be continued of course!

Three's Company:Just before the wedding Vickie and Phil discover
that Janet and Jack really do love each other so they sneak off and Janet and Jack wind up marrying.Of course instead of just
Terri Janet's bride's maids include BOTH Cindy and Chrissy and
just as the wedding service is finished Cindy trips and knocks
everything over...

Cheers:Sam and Diane get married in the bar like in the episode
where they were when Diane left to work on her novel.Norm buys
the bar,and of course the producers of DS9 give Norm a bunch of
moola for using his name backwards!!!!!

Boy Meets World:They would've spun off Cory and Topanga in
New York City.

Sean Snow · 04-23-2002, 09:32 PM

"Three's Company":Chrissy comes back and her adn Jack marry and have a spinoff with Patrick Duffy. LOL Oops sorry I'll psot the really thing later..

Rhoda and Joe should have never divorced!I think they should have had her get pregnant. She would have been a great pregnant woman! The way she obsessed about her appearance and weight .That could have really been funny. The show stunk once it lost Joe.

I disagree. I think Rhoda was best as a neurotic bachelorette. To many fans, Joe was just not that likeable. The show could've ended with her marrying someone and then getting pregnant, but to somebody more camera friendly.
