They didn't mention Night Court. That ending was pretty bad with Dan suddenly chasing after Christine and Bull going up in a spaceship (WUT?). I hate it when a series establishes characters and then totally askews the continuty and character development at the end. I certainly hope that ER doesn't end that way and when House ends, I sort of hope that House and Wilson DON'T end up together (Stupid fangirls), but rather that Wilson dies. I think there was already a foreshadowing of that in the last episode.

[treky]

you can also add "MASH" to the list.


And that fire scene was SO OBVIOUSLY:rolleyes: just tacked on! (because it was-a real fire burned down the outdoor set during filming of the finale) but they could have done a better job in adding it!!

[megamanj2004]

And add ALF to that list as well.

[JulieSomoski]

How did I know the Roseanne finale would end up on this list? For some reason, everybody hates it. I loved it.

To each his own!

[JulieSomoski]

To each his own!

You're right.

I hate how the entire hour finale is based solely on the final 10 minutes. The entire finale was actually very good - Darlene wanting to live at home, and Roseanne wanting her to as well. The new baby coming home, the family eating pizza. These are things Roseanne was great at executing, and it turned out great.

[80sTrivia]

I definitely agree with Seinfeld and Roseanne being on that list...

[70s show watcher]

add will and grace to the list the final season as a whole was pretty good but the final ep was just stupid and a waste of time

[Marvo301]

The Seinfeld finale was such a huge disappointment to me. How did a series that was so well and so cleverly written go so wrong at the end?

[browneyes106]

I didn't like the finales for Quantum Leap, Seinfeld, Felicity and ALF.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I didn't like the finales for Quantum Leap, Seinfeld, Felicity and ALF.
QL was one of my favorite shows and my least favorite episode was the series finale. :ohno:

[browneyes106]

Me too. I think the last time I watched the series finale was back in 2001 or 2002 when they show aired on Sci-Fi.

[Eversoris]

I'd add Friends and Gilmore Girls to the list too. To be honest, it's probably a lot easier to make a Top 10 list finales that WERE good and satisfying.

I thought the Friends series finale was excellent! :)

I liked the Friends finale. I really didn't like the Gilmore Girls finale.

[jimpickens]

How about the MWC finale was that a rip off or what.

[catlover79]

How about the Another World finale that focused on Cass getting kidnapped by a lovesick gorilla (the goofiest gorilla costume ever) on his wedding day?? :confused:

[howierules86]

And add ALF to that list as well.

Yes, I agree that the "ALF" finale was definitely a downer, even if the staff & cast didn't know it was going to be the finale at the time it aired in March (Two months later, NBC officially decided to cancel "ALF" in favor of premiering "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" the following fall).

[Seth]

The Galactica finale (Daybreak) can near-cleanly be broken up in terms of quality between it's three parts. (Aired as two installments of 1 and 2 hours, though in reality it's one three hour episode) The middle part, aired as the first of two hours a couple weeks ago, is one of the most awesome hours of television I've ever seen.

The first hour (Part 1) isn't particularly *great*, but it does an effective job of setting up the awesome 2nd part. They could have picked up the pace a bit, but overall it's not bad.

Then there's the final hour (Part 3)....they pretty much take the entire purpose and point of the series and decide to go Deus Ex Machina. It's not even that they went with the religious aspect so much as they pushed the explanation onto every unanswered question remaining that they could get their hands on. The series started out with a question about why the human race deserved to service, and the ending answer is supposed to be because those 50,000 who initially made it out happened to be on the right ships at the right time with the right people who were actually cosmically important? There are so, so many things about this final hour that rub me the wrong way.

They can also add The Wonder Years to the list. For those who have never seen it, Kevin lost his car to gambling and got into a fight with Winnie (who had become a friend to at least one in the party to whom Kevin lost said car).

They should have had at least another season to tie up all of the loose ends that remained. After all, no high profile show ended in 1994, unlike 1993, when it was wall-to-wall (Bronx) Cheers finale news. Plus, we would have been entertained by the graduation of Kevin and his friends--take that, "Goodbye, Farewell, Amen"!

:rofl:

[Stuck In The '70's]

Well Dallas should be on that list. It was such a great show but ending it with "It's a Wonderful Life" type episode and having JR being haunted by the devil and ending it in a cliffhanger was just awful. The first reunion movie wasn't bad and it kind of ended things but then they had that awful "War of the Ewings" movie so that put a damper on it.

[catlover79]

:rofl:
I swear I am not making that up. Google Another World and Gorilla and you'll see what I mean. :lol:

I hated that part of the finale. Other than that the finale was pretty good.

It's just too bad the gorilla got so much airtime!! :mad:

[catsrule]

(Two months later, NBC officially decided to cancel "ALF" in favor of premiering "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" the following fall).That's a huge step backwards. :bash:

[Eversoris]

That's a huge step backwards. :bash:

Nonsense. Fresh Prince was a GREAT show. The two-part episode where Will got shot and Carlton decided to get a gun is still one of the best episodes of any show I've ever seen.

[Seth]

There was one: L.A. Law. 1993-94 was it's final season; it was replaced by ER in Fall 1994.

[dawsongirl]

That's a huge step backwards. :bash:
From Alf to Fresh Prince??

[catsrule]

From Alf to Fresh Prince??ALF >>> Fresh Prince

[Eversoris]

ALF >>> Fresh Prince

Wow. You're out of your mind. :bonk:

[Retro4Life]

Seinfeld, Roseanne and Dallas all had horrible endings, truly slaps in the faces of those who had followed the shows for years. The X-Files was really quite bad, too.

I forgot about the X-Files finale.

[BLT]

Dallas - WTF?
Newsradio - Dave deserted at WNYX alone with Matthew...what a sad fate.
ALF
Seinfeld - I get the logic that jerry and the gang were horrible people and got what they desrved in the end, but the episode just wasn't very funny IMO.
