MOST FORGETTABLE SERIES FINALES

the true worst finale was "alf"

and now I know why I quit watching Family Matters it was Pathetic

The Goldbergs. Once Jeff Garlin was fired from the show after being accused of sexual misconduct on set, Adam F. Goldberg the creator of The Goldbergs had left the series to working on other projects, the death of George Segal, the show ratings had been waned throughout its run, and rising costs production, ABC decided to canceled the show after 10th season and ended so abruptly with a rush terrible ending. What the heck? That's not how you end the show. It's a huge slap in the face. Make us fans so mad. Yes, the show had ran its course, but ended the show the way it did is unacceptable. This series deserve a better ending than what we got. Apple TV+, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Tubi, or The Roku Channel, please revive The Goldbergs as a full epilogue series or TV Movie to finish their story the way it intended to do.

Regarding The Office, the last two seasons may been rough without Michael Scott but they did a lot of character development with Dwight & Angela. I disagree that the finale was out of place, to me it helped resolve a lot of the “where are they now” questions. Which was a breath of fresh air as the last two seasons where not the same without Michael.

Ok, maybe I don't get it, but am I the only 1 who didn't feel that Friends/ The Office were actually funny???

I don't think that they really wanted Steve & Laura to actually get married, because then it would make people believe that life always goes your way.....Anyone who's lived into their 40's knows it rarely works that way.

Full House was canceled. They didn't know that when they made the finale. They thought they were coming back for a 9th season. That's why they didn't get to do a proper sendoff.

Lmfao she got amnesia- i forgot all about that

Wholly disagree with you on the Full House one. Definitely felt like a series finale. The show had gone on for 8 years....they obviously were running out of ideas for storylines.....I mean some of those Season 8 episodes were rough story-line-wise; Rigby the Rhino.....the VERY fake ostrich in Kimmy's backyard joke that made Jesse's high blood pressure spike.....the episode when Michelle bought the goat - the pretty horrible Super Bowl episode - and then Michelle honestly became the agonizing focus of the entire 8th season.....she was honestly pretty annoying in later seasons.

By the time it was over it was a good time to end it - and I felt that they way they did the finale was perfect. Michelle lost her memory in Part 1, so in Part 2 of the finale they brought back so many things from previous seasons that hadn't been mentioned in years - the guys singing her Teddy Bear, bringing out Mr. Woodchuck, and then Michelle asked in her amnesiac state why she didn't have a mother - which brought that entire subject back up for the first time since like Season 1 or 2. Michelle losing her memory allowed for all these old storylines and plot devices to make a return in the last episode.

It was very heartfelt, and especially felt more "final" when it was the only time the Olsen twins appeared on-screen at the same time in the series....and then the ending of the Part 2 with Steve coming back and Michelle getting her memory back, and the ending message being "We'll always be there for one another".......I felt it was a very good ending to the series.

Season 8 wasn't the best season of Full House, but it's still good and fun to watch - but it was clear it was time to end it, and I felt they did a very appropriate series finale.

But Family Matters?? You are spot on with that one - lol. God that was terrible. Talk about a show jumping the shark and needing to just be ended once and for all.

2 broke girls was a bad ending

Idk what you want from a series, finally? From the sounds of it, you want fan service but also not. You lose ends tied uo but also original story lines and another same time a story line that focuses on the story ending even though the characters don't know its an ending. You're all over the place. 😅

Sad part it wasn't supposed to be the finale.

I can still remember the Full finale, with Michelle recovering from amnesia, due to a riding accident in the previous episode. And that was decades ago. It is probably one of the most memorable TV episodes for me, along with Buffy's The Body and Once More, With Feeling.

On the other hand, I am a big fan of Knight Rider, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the finale episode of the original TV series. I guess season 4 was a bit of a bust, with that dang-awful "Super Pursuit" mode, although the convertible mode was nice.

“Shouldn’t be some random story” that’s how most cartoons and shows ended in the past. Until at least the 80’s

The Full House final episode wasn’t supposed to be the ending. The network told them during the production of the episode. The producers wanted to shop the series to the WB now CW, but John Stamos wanted out.

The CBS year of family matters was rather painful.

Laverne & Shirley is another long-running beloved series that never had a fitting series finale. And not only that, the final episode didn't even center on Laverne! (Cindy Williams had left a couple years earlier.) It centered on Carmine! Easily a contender for most ridiculously awful series finale ever, given the huge hit that the show was in its glory days.

Married with children, if you are old enough to remember it you remember how random and disappointing it was/still is

I hate shows that go off just like it’s any other episode but with older shows it seems to be like that a lot

I completely disagree with your views on the Office Finale. It was a well-done story told through time and the characters that had their endings were set to the side so the rest could get their conclusions. It isn't funny, it's a final. A touching episode to let the viewers have closure and they did it very well.

You are absolutely correct. I just watched Everybody Loves Raymond finale and did not even know it. But I do love the show as a whole

I used to love the season finale episodes for Full House when I was a kid!!! lol I think kid me just loved the drama and wild stuff that happened. Or maybe they just replayed those episodes in syndication a lot? lol

I actually remember that episode of everybody loves raymond.
I had no idea it was the series finale.

How else was Everybody Loves Raymond supposed to end? Its a comedy series about a family. Its the perfect ending for that show.

So for the office, was the humorless nature of the episode striking and would you say it is compensated for by the sweet tone of the story? Also was the humorless nature of the episode striking and would you say it was compensated for by the sweet tone of the story? 😂

The office had a great finale. L take. L take.

In all honesty, Perfect Strangers was the ONLY Miller/Boyett TGIF show to ever get a proper finale that wasn't too far-fetched.

Also, Boy Meets World was the only TGIF show to ever get a proper finale.

correction: he was always that guy, you just didnt appreciate him. jim is a lowsey gross bully and dwight is a cool nerd. he was always the protagonist for me and the one i rooted for and outside of michael the character that i watched the show for so............

I never watched Raymond nor the ending episode but the way you talk about it makes me think its a great ending for a sitcom. We just stop watching them but it implies the show keeps going as it always has. Every other sit com has some big stupid dramatic resolution to all the arcs, they move, they get together, they go to jail, some big final send off that I think is a terrible thing to do to a sitcom which is meant to be something comfortable and dependable, like its always the same, these characters are always there living their lives like they do every week. Ending all of that just to end the show betrays the essence of it.

The family matters finale seems like a fitting conclusion given how bizarre the show itself had gotten over the last couple seasons. I think the show itself made a big mistake by making Steve Urkel such a Central figure in the cast. The show was much better when he was just a side character. Then they let Judy go around the same time. Steve became a main cast member. The later seasons were pretty much unrecognizable from how the show started.

Full House was not supposed to end after season 8! They had scripts written for seasons 9 and 10. Bob Saget admitted this!

Married With Children had a terrible series finale, but it was because they didn't know they would be cancelled.

I feel like I would love to just chat about tv shows with you and I liked the video! Andy was absolutely a train wreck for being a manager. I felt like they ruined his character. I get they needed a manager but dang man..I hated Andy by the end .
That being said I cried at the finale episode 😂. Oh and also I felt like the Toby and Pam dance where she said something about his feelings for her was so cringe 😂 why? Why do we have to relive the hand on the leg thing again?? Anyway, I love these! I hope you do more!

Leave The Office alone, it’s a national treasure. 😂

L take on the office

She was in the episode though snd your eyes definitely dont work😂 this like the best kep secret in humankind

Really like that Batman meme, huh?

Family Matters was a HORRIBLE show and Steve Urkel was the most annoying, least funny, most idiotic sitcom character ever created. The actor was not funny at all.

I’ll tell you why Everybody Loves Raymond had a low-key season finale - Seinfeld. Seinfeld’s season finale was so hyped but when people saw it, they HATED it! It’s still regarded as a failure to finish a show so much so that the cast CONSTANTLY makes jokes about it. Since Raymond’s fanbase included a lot of Seinfeld fans, I’m sure Phil Rosenthal and the writers decided to just keep the last episode simple and not make a big deal out of it. I remember it being a perfectly serviceable last episode, but I haven’t seen it in a while.

After the network jump to CBS, a 10th season was planned for Family Matters but the show was abruptly cancelled at the end of season 9. The proposed 10th season would've seen Steve and Laura get married and have all loose ends tied up.

So you're telling me I made the correct choice to stop watching when Laura and Urkle got together. Good to know.

Really getting your mileage out of that “Batman rubbing his chin” clip, aren’t you?

"Simping ain't easy" Steve Urkel

Office finale was great.

Tbh I was never really sure who the main character of the Office was!

Family Matters sucked for like the last few years.
