Worst series ending concepts

[Kahuna Burger]

I assume you are being sarcastic. MASH, in Alda's hands, became one of the most depressing shows ever, devoid of any of the black humour that filled the early seasons (and movie).

well, if he is, I'm not. The later seasons of mash were mature and gripping, and what I think of as the "real" show. I don't mind the earlier shows, but they were juvenile in places. And I was completely underwhellmed by the movie (which I saw after being a fan of the show.)

I thought B5 had a pretty dumb ending concept. "lets blow up the station just to maintain continuity with the prophocies that said it would blow up." The excuse was silly and contrived, just bleh overall.

Deep Space Nine. Too happy-happy with everyone going their own ways to bigger and better things. Bleh.

Star Trek:TNG, the movie Nemesis. Let's face it. That one certainly "ended" the series, and it certainly sucked.

Eh? The place was decomissioned and scuttled. Why is that dumb?

Earth: Final Conflict is just horrible. The first two seasons were decent, but the last episode of that show made me sad. The thing is that it had nothing to do with anything that came before it.

Don't assume...

The humor was there, it became what the show was always meant to be, an anti war piece.

I was hoping the ending of Star Trek: Next Generation would have Picard saying "Computer, end program." He walks of the Holodeck and in reality Picard is the gardner at Starfleet academy he was always boosting about.

I have to disagree. The show's ending was not really that happy. Everyone suffered a loss in the season finale of one form or another. Kira lost Odo to the collective. The crew and his family lost Sisko to the Prophets. Everyone pretty much moves on from the station leaving Kira all alone. That to me seems pretty sad on many levels. I loved this series from top to bottom. Sure it started rough and disjointed but this was one of the best Trek series ever IMO.

I agree with X-Files and Seinfeld have terrible endings.

Star Trek Voyager was an awful show with an awful ending that pretty much invalidated the entire series. Multiple times in the past Janeway refuses help back to the alpha quadrant, but this time she accepts. Huh?

I liked the DS9 ending. It wasn't all happy as at least one major character bites it. I didn't see the last B5 as the final season kind of meandered and kind of sucked.

But Alf had the worse series ending: a cliff-hanger where he is grabbed by the government. And then no more series. Ack!

Right, it was justified very well, and an appropriate ending to the tale. It happened twentyish years after the events of B5, so it's not like there wasn't room left for other stories.
