    It should be noted that the LIttle House blew up their houses to prevent tv shows or movies from using their set. They built the set and the owner of the land was already showing other scouts "their" sets to make money off of their investment. The land owner tried to sue the company but failed because the judge said "they paid for the sets and paid for the clean up." the original lease clearly stated that they had to leave the land as found and they did

      Yes and it wasn't the final episode, per se. It was the second of three TV movies that aired AFTER the series final episode. The series ended in the spring of 1983. Three subsequent TV movies aired during the following 2 seasons and in the second one is when they blew up the town. The third was a Christmas themed movie that aired the season after the 2nd movie but chronologically in time occurred before the 2nd movie

    The problem with HIMYM suffered from 3 problems
    1. It went on for too long
    2. The ending was planned in advance but not the middle which they filled with this Robin and Ted will never be togeather and ruined the pay off along with the fact that Ted was in a holding pattern for the better part of 5 seasons which made him all the more insufferable.
    3. Cristin Milioti VASTLY overperformed her role as Tracy and made us love in as much as the regulars (It's probably no concidence the 200th episode is the highest rated of the show).
    So with an over long show which didn't plan on going so long with a planned finale which they had to use as footage for luke and penny had already been shot it was kinda always damned.

      Or the station hates the show, axes it prematurely and forces the writers to come up with an ending on the fly.
      Better some type of finale than none at all.
      I remember the finale of "Without A Trace". It was a normal episode but the final scene was recut where the two main characters discuss how everything ends in a conversation.
      Fans were angry at this, saying that they should be shown how things played out, not told.
      Series star Anthony LaPaglia came out in defence of the writers and blasted the studio. He said that they were promised another season where events played out, but then the studio backflipped and axed it instead.
      The final scene was an attempt to tie up loose ends. It was unsatisfactory but it was either that, or no resolution at all.
      Fans should hold TV stations more responsible, as few shows end on their own terms, so many finales are thrown together, and many shows never have a finale at all.

    The Enterprise finale and cancellation happened for a few reasons. Cast and crew put the cancellation down to a few things; franchise burnout after variations of the show had been going for 17 years. Fewer people were watching TV after 9/11, which also damaged Dharma and Greg's ratings. And the introduction of Netflix and streaming services altered how people watched their TV, which also reduced ratings. Their show was also on a network that did not traditionally carry the show and basically got nervous when the numbers started going down.
    The finale turned out the way it did because the show was cancelled within a few weeks of the show's finale, which meant two or three seasons of plot points suddenly needed to be included to reach what was always going to be the show's end game: the founding of the Federation. Shran, the Andorian frenemy played by the great and good Jeffrey Combs, was to have joined the crew, and Trip would not have been killed off. The finale was designed as a way to pay tribute to everything the Enterprise crew wrought, but was not received as the writers intended.

    and Voyager's ending pretty much deleted any and all reason to care for anything that happened for half the series, all hardships and sacrifice they went through for pretty much half of the series, gone, half of my investment in teh series, they took a big steaming shit on.
    in HIMYM, Ted and Robin have essentially zero chemistry together, it really should have ended with him and their mother sitting down at the sofa in their home together, telling their kids the story, or even have them be in the hospital around their mothers bed as she is very sick or somerthing, and in a epilogue showing Lilly and Marshal with their kids and first grandchild, and Barny and Robin happily married also having kids together, with Barney of course, being some serious top dog millionair working with FBI on another sting on another shady big time bank or womething.
