Worst series ending concepts

[fett527]

Came up in the LOST thread. What was the worst ending concept for a series?

I'd go with St. Elsewhere. It ends up the whole show was the brainchild of some genius kid staring at the hospital in a snowglobe. Anything worse?

 

[your father is]

The ending of Star Trek: Enterprise is the worst for me.

A short synopsis wouldbe appreciated.

Whoa whoa whoa there, monkeyboy. St. Elsewhere's ending, while lame in and of itself, gets a free pass from me for collapsing the ENTIRE TV UNIVERSE under it's own cosmological/ontological baggage. You gotta love it just for that.

I'm gonna go with Millennium. Three seasons of soul-numbing horror, and he just drives off into the sunset with his daughter? Even lamer was the reprise of Millennium in the form of that X-Files ep where they brought Frank back, and the Millennium Group's master plan involved a bunch of zombies or something. So undignified.

Final episode of Seinfeld sucked. I hate clip shows.

I also didn't care much for the final episode of M*A*S*H, but that whole series took a big downhill slide after Alan Alda took creative control.

I loved Seinfeld's ending myself.

It was so... deserved.

Uh, you did notice the whole like hour-long episode after the clip show, right? Not that it was great either, but still.

ACtually, it improved greatly once he got it

*agreed that the X-Files meeting Millenium ending was a pretty sucky way to conclude the show*

At least with the Lone Gunmen, X-files gave the boys a good send off.
