      Probably excluded if it missed the minimum 7.0 average rating for the series, which it would have if we take the numbers on Lostpedia. I have no idea if those are accurate though, since it shows the final episode having better rating than all other episodes in the final season.

      People were too confused by the ending to rate it correctly.

    This is nice, but I’d like more to see the opposite, where the series went out on a perfect note. Like Breaking Bad or M*A*S*H (imho).

      I think it’s just that Discovery didn’t want to let it end. After Adam and Jamie left, they had like 2 more seasons with new hosts. I actually don’t know if the quality of the show dropped, I never really gave it a chance.

      I thought the same thing till I remembered they booted Kari, tory, and grant for having the gall to ask for fair pay. Iirc they tried to make finding a new crew a whole “thing” on the show and the fans absolutely hated it. Adam likes to spin it as “production costs going up” which yeah, having 3 Unpaid inters asking for fair compensation is a cost you should’ve budgeted for after 7 or 8 years. Couple that with Adam’s reputation for being a drama queen and an absolute nightmare to work with, and they show was pretty cooked by the end.

    I think they included Scrubs “9th season” which was actually a prank that didn’t happen, the real finale looks pretty highly rated

      The biggest mistake they made was calling it Season 9.

      Had they made a spin off style show with a slightly different name and called it season 1, I bet the viewers would have lowered their expectations and had more time to accumulate to the new cast.

      Yeah and I don’t like the inconsistency. If they include the continuation of Scrubs, they should have done the same with Dexter.

      That is the ninth season.

      While jarring and ad hoc, I didn’t think BSG’s finale was catastrophic. I honestly disliked the transition from S2 to S3 more than I disliked the ending.

    Scrubs ended in May of 2009 with My Finale: Part 2, tied for first as the highest-rated episode. “Season 9” aka “Med School”was a cash grab continuation merging the silly web series spinoff “Scrubs: Interns” that ABC absolutely fucked. There’s no reason to continue watching past My Finale: Part 2, which is how that phenomenal show ended up anywhere near this list.

    I was shocked to see that scrubs made the list because the finale (that I remember) was a heater! But then I counted and saw that it was for season 9, so no surprises there (not that I even gave it a fair chance tbf, I’ve just heard it’s mid)

      Mass effect style? Where the last 10 minutes are so bad they reach across space and time and make the experience retroactively worse?

        It’s mostly agreed upon as a good ending today, but when it aired it had very mixed reactions.

    Star betrays her own established character and kills billions because of a forced ship.

      …huh

      I kinda dropped off when I realized the show was going to have a plot and shipping and I was just looking for a gag cartoon. Don’t think I could have predicted that.

    This graph just highlights the problem with popular TV shows that had no real plan for where they would go.

    You do a season, it’s popular, people want more. Eventually your quality declines, people lose interest and they just end weakly, if they even get that rather than abruptly cancelled.

    If we only had one season of Heroes, we’d still be talking about it in the same hushed tones as Firefly, but it didn’t and so we don’t. It’s just another in a long line of shows that started interesting, and quickly became mediocre. For that reason I’m kind of glad Firefly only got one.

    I really don’t want a show that lasts for 10 seasons. That’s a massive time commitment. I want a story in as few episodes as it takes to tell it well. At least have an outline of what’s going to happen, even if you haven’t written it all out in full.
