QOTD 18: What a letdown!

Happy Friday Olog Botters, I figured with this Sunday being the finale of one of the best television shows of the past decade, we could dedicate today, tomorrow, and Sunday, to our favorite and least favorite finales. Today we’re going to tackle our LEAST favorite endings to a given show.

What series finale let you down the most? Did it ruin the rest of the show for you? What did you hate it about? 

My least favorite finale of all time is probably the ending to The West Wing, which was running on fumes by that point following the end of the fifth season. While it created a kind of cool ‘lame duck’ kind of thing, namely President Bartlett being a lame duck President and the show being a lame duck show, I just found the entire ending lacked in reverence and pizzaz, it was just…blah.

Beyond that, I thought that the Roseanne finale, which a lot of people really disliked, was kind of cool, but I could see how the really heavy handed nature of the ending would irk some people after a season that was essentially the Roseanne Barr wish-fullfillment half hour.

Also I kind of guess the ending of Dexter left quite a lot to be desired, as well.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about our favorite finales.
