Once upon a time
@@ihavethebodyofapig7078 Ditto
Dexter Season 8 is the absolute worst final season.
Dexter, heroes , that 70s show,Himym final seasons are some of my favorite of their respective shows. And I've watched each of them multiple times all the way thru.
Two and a half men final season as a whole to be honest
Almost a decade later, and I'm STILL salty over HIMYM's lacklustre ending. Why even build up the final season to Barney and Robin's wedding if they were just going to have them get divorced out of the blue? Tracy definitely deserved better.
Wasted 9 seasons on Robin and Barney getting divorced and Ted going after Robin. What was the point of show!?!?
Should have had a whole season of Ted and the mother. The only good parts of the final season were the scenes with the mother.
yeah they ruined Barney's story arc and I still hate the writers for that, and why didn't they understand that Ted and Robin never worked as a couple ever!!!
I think the problem is the writers had planned to end the show with Ted and Robin getting together when they first started the show; especially with them having to film all of the scenes with Ted and Tracy’s kids during the first season.
I usually stop the final episode, right after Ted says "And that kids, is how I met your mother". That way I don't have to watch the writers undercut the meaning of the mother by having Ted proclaim his love for Robin.
Imagine your dad sitting you down to tell you a story about how he and your mother met, then droning on for hours about every woman he banged before he even knew your mom existed. Those kids will need therapy.
My parents never droned on and on about how they met. Their story would last just one episode if any.
actually he told the story for 8 years they spent 8 years on that couch listening to their dad talk about all the different women he was with
@@melissacooper8724 my parents story very simple both got a job at burger king the end
Sad, really. And all because the dad was too cheap to hire a therapist himself.
@@JP-pp2tn There was also a blooper where the kids ranted that they have enough even the daughter said that she missed college just to hear the story of her dad telling how many women he banged before he met her mom.
I don’t think I’ll ever be over the massacre of Jaime’s character arc on GoT
No one is, no one is......
I still think it is good out of one reason.
When Bron was with Jaime to rescue his Myrcella, Bron asked Jaime how he wants to die, he responded: In the arms of the woman I love.
And he did that, yes their love was uhm.. "false" in many ways and toxic but it was what he wanted.
The execution was poorly written but it was how Jaime wanted to die.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is just a show, doesn't reflect the original story.... We might never see the end, but is not the show's end because a lot is not part of the show...
@ytrewq12345 the king Slayer being redeemed was just amazing and whoops we forgot about that
Also his line of "Too be honest, I don't care about the people that I saved in King's Landing" is so random and out of nowhere.
Didn't he kill the Mad King to save his father and those people in King's Landing before it's too late?
GOT not being number 1 is a crime
Sorry but HIMYM is THE WORST.
I agree.
@@sebscso2343 himym was just awful ugh
I can’t think of a single show that GOT stands for
@@tjwash5118 it's game of thrones lol I would've added it but I got WAYYYYY behind on it and wasn't watching lol
They really should have ended "That 70's Show" with Season 7, since it seemed like a natural conclusion. Plus, every character constantly gushed over Randy, and Red and Kitty were apparently completely okay with their son's friends and ex girlfriend casually hanging out in their basement in his absence.
I hate the final season but to be fair, Hyde still live there with Red & Kitty and they considered another son at that point
No one should really speak about season 8. I could not really find myself to continue to watch the 2nd episode of it when I saw the complete season of That 70's Show on Netflix (That 70's Show did not havr the complete season when it was syndicated on cable in my S.E.A country back in the 2000's)
That 70s show sucked ass, something fierce.
No one outside the show gushed about Randy. He was a TERRIBLE character.
What season 8? We all know season 7 was the last one 😊
I think Once Upon A Time, a show about fairy tale characters living in the real world deserves to be on this list. The final season was a big departure from the previous seasons, as most of the main characters that we grew up love such as Emma Swan and her parents, Snow White and Prince Charming were absent. Not only that but they basically did a reset on the universe, creating a new setting and inserting in entirely new characters while the few old ones (such as Regina and Rumple) were given new personalities and identities. It was a horrible way for the series to go out.
I totally agree. That show was really good for the first few seasons. It suffered like many of these shows declining in the end with some good moments. But that last soft reboot season was on par with Scrubs.
@@rvoyles91 I heard that many of the actors who had been on the show since the first season wanted to move on to other projects. By the sixth season, only Lana, Robert and the guy who played Hook were the only ones who the show to continue, since they all returned for season 7. But rather than wrapping the show up, the showrunners hoped that a soft reboot could keep the show going for a little longer.
I actually enjoyed season 7. Though that may be because I viewed it as more of a spin-off/sequel series than a seventh season.
I didn't like S7 at all!! most of the main cast not being there I couldn't watch it ugh I think it's up there with that 70's show, the 100, himym and lost!!
Yes! When shows have a complete departure, I can’t follow anymore.
I loved the first season of Heroes. Watching that show go down the crapper was painful and the revival didn't make things any better.
Exactly! It was such a great show and just got worse and worse :(
The show had giant potential and the characters (old and even new) could’ve been interesting, but the company got greedy, especially during the writer’s strike. It sunk and never came back up
sadly that show maybe should of been a one season show, 2 and 3 were decent, but season 4 felt like a stretch but it was clear they ran out of story to tell, but liked the final scene
Heroes didn't need a spinoff idk why out of all shows heroes got one I don't understand tbh
We just looked at each other during season 2 and shook our heads. What a waste
“Heroes” was baffling to me. Having only watched the first two seasons, I still cannot fathom how a show could start its seasons so awesome and end them in such a train wreck.
It really proved how essential having actual writers write your scripts is. A shame that Hollywood still doesn’t appreciate them enough.
What's amazing to me is I stopped during season 3. Then came back during season 4 because I liked Knepper's acting. I actually think season 3 was somehow even worse than 4, yet I also think it deserves the spot it was given on this list.
This is actually a list I agree with completely. All the shows on here were so great in the beginning. People like me finished all seasons just for closure. Lost was number one for me though.
A train that hit another train, then both trains went off a very high bridge. Amateur writers.
Rewatching the final season of Lost I can honestly say I don't think it was bad. Disappointing for what we were expecting but truthfully I enjoy it knowing how it ends
same, i love season 6
Yeah. Doesn't deserve to be on this list
I said it somewhere else here, Lost was never meant to be "neatly tied up".
It was terribly unsatisfying imo, like they didn’t really know what to do with the series at that point
Lost being on this list shows how badly some people can’t pay attention. The finale was beautiful and is even better with subsequent viewings.
I'm still insulted on behalf of the fans of how I met your mother, they might as well call it "how I screwed you guys over"
Agreed
I never even finished the final season... so I don't even know how it ended...
@@sallyatticum the mother is dead.... and Ted ends up with Robin
@@l3k446 Gee thanks. haha
@@sallyatticum yeah, a giant middle finger to those who sat through the whole final season.
the good thing about 'scrubs' is that you can easily consider the season 8 finale as the end of the show and ignore the last season ever existed which can't be done with most of the above mentioned shows.
Once Upon a Time. Season 7 was an absolute slap in the face to anyone who was a fan.
YES! THANK YOU! LIKE OUT OF NOWHERE HENRY IS ALL GROWN UP, NO LONGER BELIVES IN MAGIC, AND HAS A DAUGHTER WITH A SECOND CINDERELLA!?
I am glad I'm not the only one who thought that season was terrible. Some things I thought were cool/interesting, but that was a terrible Finale for the series. Maybe if the main cast stayed around. It could have been better.
@@Messeduphands1268
They should have ended it when the majority of the actors (including Emma's) left
Felicity should be one this list. It started off as a really grounded show about a girl breaking away from her parents expectations by becoming an artist. By the final seasons, there’s crazy stuff like time travel. Felicity realizes her art dreams aren’t realistic and goes back to school to become a doctor… the show tries to put her back with her love interest from season one, even though they’re nowhere near that place.
Yes, I almost forgot about that , it was terrible 😂
Wait time travel? I must have blocked that out because I don't remember that at all 😂
I don't remember time travel, but I remember a weird episode with the kids inside of a voodoo shoe box of some sort. That show got trippy 😂😅.
@@1966fastback yeah I haven’t watched the final season in years, but there’s an episode where her roommate does a spell or something that takes her through time, and I think it was left ambiguous if it was real or not… but it was very strange lmao.
This sort of thing happens with A LOT of JJ Abrams productions…
How is House not on this list? They let Lisa Edelstein go for wanting better pay and the entire last season was ruined by that one decision.
The last episode also makes no sense. House faked his death offscreen and they just handwave off how implausible it would be for him to actually get away with it. The dude is a world famous doctor, he's been in documentaries, worked for the CIA and done guest lectures in famous universities. In real life he would've been caught in a week after the finale.
It was okay not great but okay the ending in where Wilson ultimately dies by not accepting treatment was awful
@@conorowens8382he only needed to escape for maybe a year he was waiting for Wilson to die
@@hudgy3266 It doesn’t help that since they new season 8 would be the end they could have just written off Cuddy by simply having house explain that for season 8 she’s traveling to get donors for the hospital. This would have kept them from having to completely undo the bulk of House’s character development and actually add to it by having him take care of Rachel, Cuddy’s adopted daughter, throughout the season. You could add tension by having House discussing with Wilson that he’s considering proposing to Cuddy when she gets back but that being alone with Rachel is making him second guess things. Then have it end with house growing to be perfectly capable of being a dad and deciding to pop the question when Cuddy gets home. Show that House has grown as a character and is ready to accept that he’s not the most important person in the world.
@@gonadgamer I would have loved that ending but the season 7 finale ruined any chance of that
My thoughts on GOT’s final season: “The writers are tired. See them to their chambers.”
They tried to rush it cause they signed with Lucasfilm to do a Star Wars movie. But after the abysmal season, they got dropped from that project too 🤣
And till these days those 2 clowns are probably still in their basements , still jobless and the last time I heard, they had a Neflix deal and wanted to make a show about American Civil War or something but wants to make it comedy! Bruh, how do you make a comedy about war? Unless it's a dark comedy like M.A.S.H
@@margarethmichelina5146 yeah, I don’t think that’ll work out well for them
IF it ever ends, i have a feeling that Gray’s Anatomy may land on a list like this.
Haha I'm waiting for the day
I didn't even know it's still running. How ridiculously will it end? *cough Sandra Oh killed by an icicle
And you can’t forget about, the walking dead. A show that has so much promise in the beginning, and build up a massive Fanbase, but later seasons, with the creation of new characters and outrageous scenarios, it became Munding and unwatchable.
Just don't say that to a lunatic fan. Supposedly there's going to be 2 movies about just Rick, that's what people call beating a dead horse. I stopped when they killed off Glen. Don't care if it's in the comic book or not.
Game of Thrones is the only show that has a last season that hurts the rewatchability. No show unanimously has so much acclaim and then managed to shatter it in the way Game of Thrones did. It hurt so bad people won’t even spend the time watching House of the Dragon
It was because Dumb and Dumber were do rushed to get to Star Wars. Thankfully they were cut from doing that in the end.
HBO really should have done a test audience before releasing season 8 and they should have insisted on a full 10 episodes instead of letting those two idiots get their way.
Thankfully HotD has different people involved and GRR Martin himself is more involved to keep it on track.
House of the Dragon actually renewed my interest. It's that good. I'm rewatching Game of Thrones now. I'm going to power through season 8. Maybe I'll feel differently about it a second time around.
@@jedimasters1462 We’re all glad Hotd is totally different lol. I agree that the last season should’ve had the full 10 eps. Man was it so hard for D+D to give the show off to someone else? Damn I wish we as fans had gotten an excellent ending to a good show. We can only dream… 😩😭
the last season really does make any rewatch of the series problematic.
@@natedavis82 its only gonna make you more angry. s1 to s4 was peak tv.....the drop off to s8 will give you vertigo.
I'm still upset about True blood. The final season was horrible. Tara deserved so much better.
I bailed prior to that. Lucky me.
I watched the first two seasons a few years ago and then I stopped. I've been thinking lately about doing a marathon of TB. On what season should I stop watching to avoid the disappointment?
Just finished binging it 5 minutes ago and I didn’t mind the ending. They did do Tara wrong though I’ll agree.
@@katarzynape3 or 4.
@@katarzynape it’s probably too late but stop after season 4
the final season of Castle shoud've been on this list as well, it was terribly written compared to the others and just a huge disappointment in so many different ways
It is so bad, I refuse to watch it again. And Gerald McRanney as the big big bad? What a waste of a buildup. The S6 finale was perfect.
I actually loved the final season of castle
It's a guilty pleasure
RIGHT!? like oh shit they are both shot and dying! SIKE time skip they are fine and have kids UGH
@Vampire Fashionista They had to quickly cover up the fact that Stana was leaving the show if they had a ninth season, so Beckett was going to be killed off. Only a few weeks before the season aired, ABC cancelled the show outright so they tagged that ending. As far as I'm concerned, the seventh season was the ending. The last episode of that season was practically a series finale.
thank you!! s7 ended so perfectly
The final season of "That 70s Show" was such a huge insult to fans. I don't even have to bring up Topher leaving to do "Spider-Man 3" and Ashton doing only a few episodes. It had an absurd number of issues and bizarre creative decisions. Great show, godawful final season.
"Castle" is the only show I ever liked where I wished it had been cancelled at the end of the previous season.
Arrested development season 5. The story felt like more of 4 and the actors going through the motions. Portia de Rossi did most of her scenes in green screen and without her, David cross didn't have a reason for Tobias to be hanging with rest of the bluths.
Season 5? As far as I know Arrested Development finished on an amusing book ends after 3 seasons and any memories I have of watching two additional seasons made by Netflix are clearly just a bad dream.
And don’t forget, there were scenes where Lindsay was played by whoever was walking around with a sheet over their head
@@medafan53 I recognize another citizen of my reality when I see them.
@pushingdasies1 Did they not think we'd notice the green screen? I can buy better software at Crazy Ed's computer discount emporium.
Pretty Little Liars' final season disappointed and broke the hearts of fans after 7 years of trusting the show on giving us a worthy ending
I was looking for this comment, I think the show should've ended like in season 5 or 6 I think, before the years pass by
@@justaguy7365 the show was just sooooo incoherent
If you are a true fan of Scrubs season 9 just doesn't exist. It ended in season 8 with, in my opinion, one of the best final episodes in the history of television.
agree season 9 was a desperate attempt to continue it
Season 9 gets a raw deal as it wasn't meant to be season 9, it was originally a spin off called "Scrubs: Med School" but for reasons called it Season 9.
The HIMYM finale still makes me grind my teeth.
What's even more baffling about HIMYM's ending is that it wasn't a spur of the moment decision after years of syndication, not like the rest of these. They actually filmed all the kid's scenes at the start of the show to use in the finale, so that horrible ending was planned.
Because of the ending of GOT, my heart is still not in it to give HOTD a chance!
Same for me, the screw me once, won't happen again
I get it, I’m still upset over the final season of GOT but I went ahead and watched House of the Dragon and I love it.
hotd s1 is good imo, but wait for season 2 is way too long so i cant recommend watchinguntil s2 is close
I feel you my friend, I truly feel every word and it still brings pain. But I’m telling you, HotD is fucking worth it.
Here’s some really good advice: forget GoT as a show. Read the 5 available books to the series, THEN read Fire and Blood Then read World of Ice and Fire. What I’m telling you is to rely on the ASOIAF series in text form alone, which should easily erase the pain of the show. If you can’t be bothered at the moment, HotD is worth it. Amazing visuals, music is freaking as good as it always was, and the acting maybe stands up to some of the best of the original.
Bro has a grudge like hbo murdered his family
Dexter Season 8 was the most abysmal final season that I suffered through!
The new and final season is really good tho!
@Tommy Hughes Not with that new ending 😂
@@tommyhughes597 it started strongly but was a debacle. His son has to live with what he did to his dad for his whole life.
@@NickJR528 New Blood's end was a lot better!
Huge letdown and disappointment
We need a best final seasons list
There is one. I also think that its a Watch Mojo video.
Nothing beats Six feet under. But Mr. Robot and breaking bad are also top tier.
@@ChrolliForever Better Call Saul, Sopranos, Madmen, Atlanta, The Good Place all top tier also.
If you think about the time for How I Met Your Mother the mother died during the time it took Ted to tell the kids the story of how they met.
Killing Eve should totally be on here. Still not over that abysmal ending.
Came here just for Killing Eve lol
Sandra Oh deserved better.
The 100 should be on this list
Jodie Comer deserved better. It would have been better to end with the kiss as they went on road trip.
This!!!
Personally, I loved the final season of Lost. Did it have issues? Yes. The weak and lazy way the writers wrapped up some of the show's mysteries (The cork metaphor & Across the Sea ep., anyone?) BUT, I found the "Flash-Sideways" to be an emotional lynchpin and the perfect way to wrap up the show and characters' journeys. I always knew the show would not satisfy my need for answers to the mysteries, but receiving an emotional end for the characters was way more than I ever could have hoped for. I still get choked up watching the closing moments. At the end of the day, Lost was show about flawed and, well, lost people finding each other and meaning to their lives.
Lost S6 was GREAT. Watchmojo don't know what the hell they're talking about. The fact that the 1st shot of the series was Jack's eye opening, and last shot was Jack's eye closing as he watched his friends escape the island had me balling. I'm curious, for the ppl who say it didn't answer major questions, what MAJOR questions were left unanswered?
I actually have no problem with the last season. Yes, the show grabbed us with mystery, but eventually you emotionally tied to the characters, and that last season did a great job of giving you a farewell with characters that you loved.
other than that weird campy island lore, i think the final season was perfect.
LOST was already lost before the last season. They clearly had no idea where they were going.
@@RoninDave also true. I was ok with it, but they didn't smash it out of the park. I remember thinking the writers painted themselves into a corner
The 9th season of Scrubs doesn't exist
Yes I'm in denial but I'm ok with that 👍
Don’t worry even the showrunner of the show said it stopped at 8
9th season? I have no idea what you're talking about.
There is no 9th season at Sacred Heart. Here we are safe. Here we are free.
There’s only 8 seasons of Scrubs…and one season of Scrubs: Med School.
_There's no Season 9 of Scrubs on Ba Sing Se..._
The sad irony of the last season of Game of Thrones is that episode 2, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is arguably one of the best episodes of the show. In my mind, the White Walkers overran the castle, killing everyone in it. End of story.
Would be Epic!!!! But the last frame should be one thing of hope, maybe one of the starks. Pregnant. 😅
The first 3 episodes of Season 8 is the definition of "Calm before the storm"
I still loved Lost.....and since they had said that the end wasn't going to be "They were dead all along" (and that is still how certain people think it ended...) and that it wasn''t going to be about aliens I guess there weren't too many options......but yeah in a way I can see why certain people found the end to be a let down, but I actually liked it.
Same. I found it quite satisfying and it has gotten better on a rewatch
@@arjunkishore4080 I was with my ex for 7 years (how original to break up after 7 years lol :p) but every girl I spent time with romantically or not after that break up ended up with me introducing them to Lost......they all loved it :p.....Getting someone else to watch that show for the first time is awesome lol
@Lanwarder same. Whenever I get to the final episode I break up with whoever I'm with just so I can watch it again with someone new. It is that good!
@@craigkronvall8238 I am lucky enough to be with someone who loves lost as much as I do........but it's not as if your idea didn't make sense to me lol
I understand it not being on this list cuz it didn't have a massive following, but Fringe was so fricking good seasons 1-4. Every episode from the pilot on came back and was important in the final few episodes. Then they tried to extend it with season 5, and boy did it not work at all
I knew if I scrolled far enough someone else would have mentioned Fringe...what an absurd season that final season was!
I've seen worse final seasons.
The built into that season 4 finale with all the monsters going on that ship, it looks like season 5 was going to be amazing, then it was basically canceled then renew for just a few final episodes.
It just occurred to me I never even finished the last season of Fringe....
@@sallyatticum don't. Season 4 is how it should have ended
Me: *waiting to see Game of Thrones on the lists
*see Game of Thrones*
*Satisfied*
Honestly surprised it wasn't #1 knowing the anger behind that final season.
this is gonna hurt...still not over Heroes & this current writers strike has me worried about the future of my current faves
I agree with you, I like Heroes too!. And yes I think the writers strike doomed the TV series.
For the series that I actually watched ,this list was spot on, GOT, Lost, Scrubs, Roseanne,True Blood (killing Tara that way was abysmal), Dexter. I abandoned both Weeds and That 70’s Show a couple of seasons before they ended. I would like to add The X-Files to the list☮️
X files for sure. I still love it though
@@ga8rielsMsg TY - I barely watched it that season, Didn’t David Duchovny leave in the final season? I used to truly enjoy it, but frankly, it was always hit or miss. Plenty of bad episodes in between good episodes 🙏☮️🖖
Dexter started off so well, that was a major disappointment.
Please don't remind us that the ending of these series existed. We want to live in denial. Thank you very much.
I think the finale season of Lost is one of the greatest seasons of TV ever made. An unpopular opinion, I know, but I think it was perfect.
Glad you liked it
Definitely NOT Perfect, but much better than people were claiming.
@@yutro213 I concur. Because watching the last episode it made me realise it was all about the characters first and foremost, not the mystery. And I was going to miss them. So it worked for me.
@paul tapner It's annoying when people don't understand this lol
I loved it. You should see it explained by an analyst. Amazing!
Castle Should Also Be On This List
They Should Have Ended On Season 7, It Felt Like An Ending With All Stories Properly Concluded. Then 8 Happened And Opened Up Old Wounds And Rehashed Old Plots In An Irritating Fashion With An Ending That Is The Very Definition Of Both "Poor Planning" & "Tonal Whiplash".
The 100 should have ABSOLUTELY been on this list above Game of Thrones, all fans were upset about it, it was weird and infuriating and deserved nothing but to be deleted from everyones memories
The 100 definitely had a worse ending than Game of Thrones and Anyone who says otherwise needs their reasoning capabilities checked. I cant even rewatch without thinking about that ending every single second
Exactly! I was hoping to find this comment.
Game of Thrones
I’m still pissed lol
My dad spoiled me about it. So I didn't watch it. Besides I didn't care about Game Of Thrones after I saw the first season.
So am I. Four years and I still get pissed about it.
Ashton Kutcher had the decency to appear for a few episode.....Topher grace appeared for about 20 seconds
I think the Roseanne lottery story would have come better if they had made it for only one or two episodes, with the dream ending, and the rest about how she and the others would try live they life's without Dan
My idea for season 9 wpuld be Roseanne suddenly fainting and being diagnosed with diabetes. That would've been a wake up call for Dan.
Word. Season 10 was god awful. I love that show and I literally can not get myself to watch season 10 all the way through lol
The Pretender Season 4. Even with three movies, the showrunners still were unable to tell viewers who Jared was so important to the Centre. His and Ms Parker's half brother wasn't even mentioned in the last movies. For ten years, they've teased us about upcoming stories and then gave us two graphic novels where the characters have been completely changed and is set a decade later but the characters are still the same age.
Now do top 10 best final seasons of TV Shows.
Breaking bad would easily take number 1 spot😏
Psych was well done for me.
@@arjunb5026 The Shield should also be at least in the top 3.
Breaking Bad objectively #1
I heard Succession is real great. Haven't watched the series yet though.
I’d put The Flash up there, too. A shortened season with a bad opening arc, lots of filler episodes and The Flash was hardly a main character. Eric Wallace tried to push Cecile, Allegra and Chester on us and we didn’t care. A fantastic show that limped to the finish line.
HIMYM - the final season was focused on Ted letting Robin go. Literally had a scene where he literally let go of her hand. Also, those seasons featured on why Barney and Robin worked. In spite of all the misgivings, like the reason they ended the relationship in the finale, were some of the reasons that they had worked so hard to convince the audience that they would overcome. They wasted about 3 seasons of nonsense. And 'defenders or (let's be honest) contrarians defend the choices as 'realistic exploration of relationship dynamics'. Because that's what people watch sitcoms for... realism.
HONESTLY, I would be okay with those choices, if they had bothered working towards them. Bays and Thomas sat on their 'secret ending' for years, before forcing it into those last 2 episodes. Made no attempt at steering the writers to better complement this ending that was only filmed in the event the show didn't get a 2nd season. Maybe made them cool it a bit with Barney and Robin's relationship. Give both Barney and Robin legitimate character growths without crapping all over it at the end. Tone down Ted's sadsack depression from moving on from Robin, instead give that time to the mom, and let her have a proper happy arc at least before killing her off.
Chilling adventures of Sabrina season 4. Their were so many hooks for season 5 plots, but then she dies it was obvious the finale was hastily rewritten to end the show with the uncertainty of covid.
Totally agree
She come back in Riverdale so?
@@zaryamoon4906 ok
Well Netflix cancelled the show prematurely. There wasn't mush the creators could do. Besides write a better ending I guess.
I was disappointed in the final season of the US Shameless, and felt like the season 7 finale, when Monica dies, to be a better finale and a better way to show that life goes on.
I just finished the series earlier and the show really struggles without Fiona. Everyone became selfish and greedy and left Liam to fend for himself and spend a season worrying he'd become homeless because he thought none of his siblings would take care of him
I started rewatching thrones with my girlfriend recently, she had never seen it. Somtime around s3ason 2 she said how much she liked it and how she didn't know how she was gunna sit through 6 more seasons to see what ended up happening and she hoped it was worth it.....I looked at her and softly said "oh my sweet summer child"😅😭😭😭
Beauty and the Beast with Ron Pearlman and Linda Hamilton. Killing off Linda Hamilton’s character was a tremendous miscalculation.
I still don’t get how future Ted was Bob Saget all the way up to the end of his story, then suddenly it’s just the Ted we’ve seen all along, just with grey hair.
I would say the 5th season of "Martin" comes to mind for me. To be fair, it's not even that it's a bad season, but it is just greatly inferior to the first four seasons. The first three (edit: I said two before) are the best of the entire series in my opinion, but Martin Lawrence stopped playing all of the characters and the behind-the-scenes stuff between he and Tisha Campbell-Martin affected the quality of the show. It wasn't nearly as funny. (To add, Martin did play Sheneneh one last time in the S5 episode where she took Tommy to court. RIP Thomas Mikal Ford.)

Also, My Name is Earl deserved a honorable mention
Lost Final Seasons had some Epic episodes. It has no business being on this list. Dexter should have been Number 1
Dexter is #2 here lol
@@bradwright9477 lol I fooked up. I meant should be Number 1
Agree about Lost. Game Of Thrones should be number 1.
"had some Epic episodes"
2 or 3. The rest of the season is pretty dire.
Lost and dexter were the first 2 shows that came to mind!
Vampire diaries. Thats all I need to say.
I’m still ticked at how Ozark ended…
Anyone else???
Yep! I get killing off Julia Garner’s character tragic as it was, but the family got away with everything, after they destroyed the lives of practically everyone else in town! I’m especially angry that smug Laura Linney’s character didn’t lose a thing. I detested her!
@@flowerfaeri how often do characters like the bryde family get a "happy ending" on a TV show??
I really liked the ending. I did wish Wendy would have gotten some kind of comeuppance.
It basically cemented their future in crime. All competition was eliminated there's no going back. I actually didn't care too much for the show overall.
@@rvoyles91
Exactly!!! Wendy suffered no karma, and… Ruth. Oh, Ruth
We waited all those years to meet the mother, just for her to immediately die 😩
And as far as I'm concerned, there are only 7 seasons of G.O.T 🙅🏿♀️
Lost's last season isn't perfect, but I think it's not that bad. Instead of going with supernatural explanation, I liked how they focused on humanity and the experience of it.
Thank God I am not the only one who thinks like this. I still believe to this day that LOST ending is over hated.
It was solid. Not the greatest in history but it cover what it needed to and was respectful to the story.
This
Loved "Lost! But it was hard to follow at times giving the jumps between times and the myriad of questions left unanswered. If you didn't watch from the beginning and watch them in order, it would make no sense at all. Although they did give resolution to many plotlibes, there were too many twists thrown in that they probably could never answer all of them in the finale. The writers probably lost track of some themselves or lost (no pun intended) interest themselves in some of them. Didn't hate the finale, was just kind of disappointed it didn't live up to the standards they had set from the previous seasons.
I was surprised Three's Company wasn't on the list. They really shoehorned the ending to that show.
I loved Heroes season 1 so much, it was incredible. It went downhill so fast. They tried with Heroes Reborn but totally failed there too 😢.
I love lost and adore the final season BUT I do think the last season was just a bit too "complicated" on a first watch. A re-watch of the entire series and the final season makes so much sense.
Yes! Lost gets too much trash, mostly by people who dropped off halfway and then have decided that the end was rubbish even without seeing it
Yeah I don't think 'LOST' deserves to be on this list. It was still a good story.
I’m still angry how True Blood ended. Sookie and Bill should had been endgame.
I read the books and bill isn't the end game. I didn't really care for Eric romance, then fill it in with Sam. Never saw how true blood ended but heard there were a lot of changes by season 2
@@pushingdasies1 I also only read the book series. By the end of those, I wasn’t happy with what she did to some of the characters and the ending.
I liked her with Eric and Bill .. I was totally surprised with the Sam thing ... The show was crazy with it and didn't really follow the books much ... Total let down
I wanted Eric to be end game
@@champslim I was hoping they ended up together as well ... Or at least ended better than they did
I understand everyone's angle with Lost, but these and many other shows have much worse endings. Lost Season 6 is weak, no doubt, but not among the worst.
I'd say that after spinning its wheels through seasons 12-14, Supernatural rebounded with a decent final season. I know some decry the finale, but denouement endings are rarely popular.
They should have ended it on season 15 episode 19.
@@ashnita1130 Nah, Season 5 like was originally planned, a clear perfect storyboard, consequences for characters you liked who would be perma-killed in an instant (except Sam and Dean). The show was utter perfection until then. Lackluster season's with worse villains after, let's not even talk about Leviathans. Season 15 had a good premise but ultimately waaayyy too much filler.
@@dswifty10 I know season 5 was supposed to be the last season. but the entire show is still a masterpiece compared to our Indian TV shows. So I don't mind the mediocre plots compared to our laughable to downright mind bending plots.
I kind of wish that they would have time-jumped into the future and had it about Sam's and Dean's children being hunters instead. Kind of give it a fresh story yet not a real spin off.
@@jedimasters1462 that would have been brilliant.
I think Lost as a whole worked. I still had questions but after the crazy turn the show took in season 4, it made sense. Its still some of the greatest 6 seasons of any show. Weeds and True Blood had gone off the rails years before the finish line. Dexter was soooo infuriating. How to not set up anything after LaGuerta's death was dumb and the unforgiveable Debra Morgan situation. It still hurts
I've watched the majority of these shows, and I am glad HIMYM is #1. It's one of my favorite all-time series, I binge watch it once a year, but man was the ending disappointing
"Most successful shows are on the air one year longer then they should be." - Michael McKean talking about the end of Laverne and Shirley
I can see IZombie added to the list, IMO it seemed like the writers ran out of ideas and just threw anything against the wall just to see if it sticks...
It was lacking, but it didn't tick me off like BSG.
The people who hated the ending of Lost are divided into 2 groups; Those who understood the show and genuinely didn't like it, and those who failed to understand it.
Fringe - should have ended after season 4.
Prison Break - it was good and logical for the first season only (actual Prison Break rather than conspiracy).
House M.D. - should have Lisa Edelstein included in final episodes.
If you take away the last season of How I met your mother it would probably go down as one of the Top 3 sitcom of all time, but due the backlash of that last season is sitting among the top 10.
The worsts parts about the last season True Blood is killing Tara, period! And killing Alcide’s fine ass!
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Dark Knight 2008.
I'm surprised that Smallville isn't on this list. Tom Welling never put on the costume to become Superman in the finale.
That didn't ruin the last season though. It was frustrating but the whole story was fine.
The writer’s strike couldn’t have come at a worse time for Heroes. They had originally planned on rotating the entire cast each season, but that caused problems when fans started getting attached to the original characters, so they had to rewrite everything, and fast. To keep things interesting, they writers introduced new dramas that intertwined the stories of the old characters with new ones, but given the speed of the rewrites, it all seemed very haphazard and it was easy to lose track of various characters, resulting in plenty of plot lines that went nowhere. They tried to make it feel mysterious by keeping all the characters in the grey zone between good and evil, which should have been a good thing, but it just made everyone seem inconsistent. I don’t think anyone was surprised when the show was cancelled.
actually i still could somehow get on board with season 2, i didn't find it so bad. it was season 3 where everything for me went downhill rapidly and never recovered.
Heroes had such potential
Now another writer's strike and morons who think they'll be living on Mars "soon" who think AI is a good thing. It will be the death of creativity. Writing is an art that starts with professional writers and not a calculator.
Dating myself here but I would offer up the final season of The Facts Of Life. Always was a guilty pleasure show I grew up watching as a kid in the 80s, one of those cheesy comfort food shows that takes me back. However, while I like the first eight seasons, the final season was the perfect example of staying way too long at the party. Season 8 literally ends with Blair and Jo graduating college with Jo leaving for California for a job offer... perfect series finale. Season 9 begins with the job falling through and Jo is back in Peekskill with a bunch of 23 year old girls still sharing a room together like they were 16. I didn't like any of the plots of the final season and you could tell everyone was emotionally checked out and just taking the paycheck. I bought the complete series DVD years ago and I've never gotten through season 9, it's not good enough to revisit
When Charlotte Rae (RIP) left at the beginning of the eighth season of the facts of life, it wasn’t the same without Miss Garrett……
I haven't watched all of these but I'd like to add Californication. The last season, while not maybe awful is so bad compared to ones before it.
Then again it really underlines why the series was so good. It was all in the father-daughter relationship.
On the other hand, I think Glee Season 6 was so absurd and self-aware that it made up for 4&5
It became to "woke", what a shame!.
I LOVED Roseanne but yes, Season 9 was pretty bad. Even though everything was explained on the final episode, by then it was unfortunately too late😞
As much as I love Beverly Hills 90210 and rewatched it plenty of times, I could never get through the last 2 seasons again. Especially the last season, season 10, when Dylan's dad comes back and was revealed he was alive and faked his death in season 3! I was like, your poor son went through hell after your death... addictions, getting scammed and losing all his money, a near fatal accident, his wife getting murdered by his dads supposed killer and you were alive this whole time??? I had never been so mad at a tv show before lol.....and oh how I still miss Luke Perry 😔
I just finished Season 10 the other week. By the end of the show every character becomes so insufferable (including Dylan, which I previously would have thought was impossible because he's the freaking best) plus Brandon doesn't come back for multiple weddings of his best friends. Both seasons had their moments (even tho she's no Valerie, I liked Gina) but woof, such a slog to get through
I think Beverly Hills 90210 went on a few years too long. The cast is almost unrecognizable by the end of the series!
Prison Break should've been a dishonorable mention cause it has one of the weakest ending ever with every character ending their stories but in a rushed sprint
Sliders series 5 as almost all the original cast was gone two many kromagg storylines didn't care much for any on the new cast of sliders and it getting cancelled on a huge cliffhanger.
HIMYM still hurts... they basically abandoned 10 seasons of characters development.
Hi I think Sliders should be on the list for replacing the whole cast and Arrow since the final season was a little odd with the jumping around the different time lines the story lines was a little harder to follow
Not the whole cast. Remy was still there but yea... And not knowing if Remy did actually make it home! And if so are the creatures still invading it!?
Parks and Rec also had a very average final season.
Boardwalk Empire also started off great but yeah its last season felt like a race to the finish and ended up being pretty lame in places.
Season #6 for Lost was great.
I would say Family Matters Season 9 should be on this list because 1. They used a different actress to play Harriette Winslow in the last few episodes when I was used to seeing Jo Marie Payton play her for most of the series.
2. They should've ended the series with Steve and Laura's wedding instead of him going into space. I also feel that Full House should've ended with Season 7 when they considered selling their house to a rich man and going their separate ways.
What people feel about Daphne Maxwell Reid replacing Janet Hubert-Whitten on Fresh Prince, is what I feel even more about Judyann Elder taking over for Jo Marie Payton on "Family Matters". Judyann Elder is a fine actress, but she is not Harriette Winslow. And it's been years since I've seen that episode of "Full House" that you're talkin about. I agree that both series should have ended in both places that you mentioned.
Castle for me.
Season 7 was okay, but season 8 is when it tanked hard.
I honestly don't even remember season 8, lol. I watched it because I'm a fan of the show, but I literally forgot it.
@@Xayjohns NYPD detective gets caught up in national security even though that's not what happens in reality
I started this video just to see how long it would be before someone mentioned LOST....and sure enough, first on the list lol.
I still believe LOST is some of the best TV we've ever gotten and its a damn shame that so many people didnt (and still dont) understand the ending.
Also! Scrubs season 9 didnt happen, you cant make me believe its real.
The thing about How Met your mother is is that it just didn’t work with a few things and it was already dying before it hit its final season.
Pretty much the show died when Ted told Robin that he was still in love with her after the subway episode.
The entire show basically just started regressing characters at that point, or completely changing characteristics from that episode on words To fit the finale that the creators wanted, even though their characters have evolved from What they originally wanted, but they just had to force them back into the way they wanted it to get the finale they wanted nothing else mattered.
Robin always came off to me as somebody who wanted to be alone in a relationship was never in her cards.
She spent her whole life of people trying to push her and doing things that were outside her comfort zone, but she wanted to please them, and in the end, she just wanted to be the best person she could be and that’s fine.
You don’t need to be in a relationship To validate yourself.
It also didn’t help the fact that they crammed what was probably best supposed to be six episodes, or so of a wedding and strung out over an entire season, and then cram an entire season worth of ideas into a finale.
It was just sad to see a great show fall so hard. I don’t think I’m ever gonna go back and rewatch the show as much as I did like it
Preach. I literally can't rewatch the show, it crapped itself out so bad. Having both Barney and Robin grow as characters, in order to accept the dynamic of them being in a relationship together was wasted.
Before that final season, it was the number 1 CBS scripted show. Yes the ratings were lower that in its peak but it was still doing great.
@@deeya Same here. I rewatch my favorite sitcoms in their entirety virtually all the time. I can't bring myself to rewatch HIMYM. I can go back and rewatch specific episodes, but I don't think I'll ever do a full rewatch because the final season felt like an insult.
You forgot about Glee, Charmed (1998), Vampire Diaries, Killing Eve, Brothers and Sisters and Gossip Girl (2007)
The only show on your list I have seen is glee, and i will agree, the last couple seasons of Glee were BAD!
Lost and Heroes suffered such an incredibly bad case of Mystery Box writers.
Now do TV shows that refuse to end. Number 1 Greys anatomy
Lost Season 6 was great however. Much better than that weird season 5! It was like being back at season 1 with two storylines on island and off island! Why you all hating on Lost so much?
