How I Met Your Mother. I swear to god that show was huge in the late aughts and really reignited NPH’s career. Flash forward to today and the only time anybody ever even mentions it, is about how a bad ending can ruin a whole series and even there it comes in second to Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones ended so badly that nobody talks about it anymore. You’ll hear the occasional quotes that were memorable, but nobody really cares about the show anymore.
Freefolk remembers. God how unbelievably shit it was, it’s unfathomably bad
If thats how his books were gonna end, no wonder he stopped writing.
Yep he’s totally stuck and maybe lost interest. I reckon if he wrote the same plot points it’d play out dramatically better and make more sense. For example Dany wouldn’t rapidly go insane and flip personality in the space of 5 minutes. Moot point as the book will never exist
I can 100% see how the cliff notes version of where he was taking the books would have turned into the shows ending because as we now know the show runners were crap at their jobs
At the current point in the books it’s fully believable that the shows end is coming, that just wasn’t the case for the show itself lol
Maude. Everyone remembers Bea Arthur for The Golden Girls, but forgets about the hit show she starred in before that. Like GG, Maude was bold, especially for a show about a middle class marriage. At one point, Maude even had an abortion.
Alf Family ties
Both were pretty huge at the time but they are not revived or memed. The golden girls is still remembered, but so much unused meme material.
Two and a Half Men was big for a long time and gets pretty much ignored nowadays - which is probably fair tbh, it lost its soul pretty fast
NYPD Blue showed the first naked butt on TV.
Dallas
the ending ruined its legacy
sopranos
I’m amazed at how The Golden Girls gets so much love, but nobody talks about Designing Women. That was a great show, excellent writing, killer cast, still relatable… it deserves more attention.
Lost
It was a HUGE deal when it was airing, only to be undone when everyone realized the show’s title was not describing the characters. It was describing the show’s writers.
