M*A*S*H
overhyped, overlong, over-the-top cringe
but the last couple of seasons were pretty bad, so it wasn't totally unexpected

I found it fitting. An ironic twist like every episode.

yeah i didn't hate the finale of Seinfeld like most others. It wasn't great or anything, but really how else was it supposed to end?

. It was a show- one of the first- built on watercooler word of mouth and its basis was solving the mysteries put forth. And I'm sorry, but they did a really lousy job of that.
waht mysteries were left unsolved that meant anything at all?
AGain I've forgotten so much so OM will have to expound but I want to say that any mystery of any importance or relevance whatsoever in any way was answerd. Perhaps not in a way that viewers preferred or like, but answered nonetheless.

With LOST
I loved the Lost finale. It was great IMO.
That being said, you either loved it or hated it, with no in between.
I'm just glad I was on the side that loved it. I thought it was about the best way they could've wrapped it up. They didn't answer everything, but I also didn't need them to. They answered plenty enough for me to be satisfied. Also, there are some things they absolutely did answer, but people were just mad that the answer was basically just "because the island is magical."

Game of Thrones because I, like a lot of people, were all in on this show.
How I Met You Mother because you watch, its a good show with good characters and they flub the end. It felt like the pay off wasn't there for watching the whole thing. A waste of time, almost.

this is pretty much 100% spot on my feelings.

Battlestar Galactica and Lost still piss me off to this day.
Both shows thrived on the mystery box blueprint. And both just kept throwing more and more weird shite at you with promises that "secrets will be revealed next week".
Bull shite. The writers of Lost straight up admitted that they were making shite up as they went and didn't have a clear line of sight on how it all tied together. The secret plot they DID have (that this was all taking place in purgatory) was guessed by fans and instead of quietly admitting it, or just saying "watch and see". They loudly denied it and then had to squirm to come up with something else. And in the end, they didn't really have a good alternate solution so they pivoted back to a quasi-purgatory answer that just insulted our intelligence with it's obtuse insistence that "no, no, it's DIFFERNT than what y'all guessed".
Give me a break, and frick you.
Battletar Galactica did the exact same thing. All these mysteries, with no real plot charted out ahead of time to a solid end. So they scrambled and made Number Six, Dr. Gais, and Starbuck angels or some shite.
Yep, I'm still pissed.

The ending of Better Call Saul was spoiled to me somehow. I found it so deflating that I have not watched the end of the final episode to this day despite loving BB and watching every other episode of BCS (some of which were absolutely brilliant). Most of the bad endings occur when the t.v. execs bleed these shows for every penny rather than let the writers develop a natural stopping point and poignant ending. Once the show stops being a cash cow, they direct the writers to abruptly end it. I feel like that is what happened with HIMYM and Seinfeld, but BBC has no excuse, especially with the brilliant ending to BB.

It wasn't purgatory though. The island was very real, and everythign that happened to them there was very real. The only inkling of anything semi-purgatory like wasn't until tlhe final season, and it wasn't on the island.

I had quit watching the show after the third season, but I had friends who were fans the entire life of the show.
I thought the series final was awful, but a lot of my friends who were big fans said it ruined the ENTIRE show for them.

Did you read what I wrote? It WAS SUPPOSED to be purgatory, but the fans figured it out.
So they came up with this other bullshite where the island was real, magical, and it all happened, but they end up in purgatory waiting until all of them die.
It's a scramble at an answer that's not as good as the original.
That's my point. Because the fans guessed it, the writers changed it. Their egos wouldn't let them just admit that the secret was revealed.
frick 'em.
