- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.Spoilers: I would have been cool with Dexter and Debara having a happy ending. Instead Debara dies from a gun shot wound she would have survived in an earlier season since she survived much worse. And Dexter buries her at sea, since he blames himself.
Dexter then fakes his death, becomes a lumberjack and let's Hannah on the run, raise his son all alone. - CreatorJ.J. AbramsJeffrey LieberDamon LindelofStarsJorge GarciaJosh HollowayYunjin KimThe survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.Yeah it was touching, which is why....it also made my best list lol. It just didn't answer any of the questions I was the most interested about.
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.The late Dennis Hopper might have liked that Easy Rider like ending at least. It was kind of touching, but House should have ended with him just being told he had an interesting new case. Makes more sense doesn't it ?
- CreatorDavid GreenwaltJoss WhedonStarsDavid BoreanazCharisma CarpenterAlexis DenisofThe vampire Angel, cursed with a soul, moves to Los Angeles and aids people with supernatural-related problems while questing for his own redemption.Bring on an the epic battle, wait...what ? It's over and Joss Whedon wanted us to just think of Angel and Spike as dead. Sure he made comics years later with them alive, but the show itself had a *beep* ending.
- CreatorAndrew W. MarloweStarsNathan FillionStana KaticSusan SullivanWhen a psychopath commits murders based on novelist Castle's books, Detective Beckett seeks his help to solve the case. He decides to work with her and uses his experiences as research for his novels.The actress who plays Beckett was being fired and the show was to go on without her. It was renewed and fans were furious.
Apparently a happy ending was filmed in case the show didn't come back. So when they suddenly realized no Beckett, meant no fan would watch.
The show was canceled. When Beckett and Castle were shot together. I assume she was originally supposed to die then. Instead a 10 second happy ending was added. That showed they both lived and had some kids.
At least it didn't end with a cliffhanger or her death but still the ending sucked. - CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.
- CreatorDonald P. BellisarioStarsScott BakulaDean StockwellDeborah PrattDuring an experiment into time travel, a scientist finds himself trapped in the past, "leaping" into the lives of different people, sorting out their problems and changing history in hopes of getting back to his own life in the present.
- CreatorRobert CochranJoel SurnowStarsKiefer SutherlandMary Lynn RajskubCarlos BernardCounter Terrorism Agent Jack Bauer races against the clock to subvert terrorist plots and save his nation from ultimate disaster.The first series finale sucked. Ended with Jack on the run...again. The show came back for another last season. Which ended with Jack giving himself up to save Chloe.
What happened to him after ?
Who knows since Sutherland moved on Designated Survivor. While Fox moved on to a spin-off which is the same show. Just without Baurer. - CreatorRoseanne BarrMatt WilliamsStarsRoseanne BarrJohn GoodmanLaurie MetcalfA revival of the popular 1990s sitcom "Roseanne," which centered on the everyday life of an American working-class family.
- CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.
- CreatorSherwood SchwartzStarsRobert ReedFlorence HendersonAnn B. DavisThe misadventures of a large family united when a widower and a widow marry.Well wasn't a fabulous show but is a classic neverless.
- CreatorStephen J. CannellFrank LupoStarsGeorge PeppardMr. TDwight SchultzFour Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit, help the innocent while on the run from the military.Ended with no ending since it was canceled and we got no answers. Just an unfitting ending since they never cleared their names and it ended with them defending a pizza joint in their final episode.
- CreatorCarter BaysCraig ThomasStarsJosh RadnorJason SegelCobie SmuldersA father recounts to his children - through a series of flashbacks - the journey he and his four best friends took leading up to him meeting their mother.
- CreatorLee AronsohnChuck LorreStarsJon CryerAshton KutcherAngus T. JonesA hedonistic jingle writer's free-wheeling life comes to an abrupt halt when his brother and 10-year-old nephew move into his beach-front house.Ashton Kutcher was never a great replacement for Charlie Sheen. Since there was no point to even continue without him. Should have just filmed a finale with him that season over firing him.
When the show finally ended. The creator gave us a dumb finale where Charlie was really alive but was after his brother and Kutcher.
A Charlie stand in is eventually killed with the creator smiling and saying Sheen's favorite saying "winning." - CreatorAlan BallStarsAnna PaquinStephen MoyerSam TrammellTelepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse encounters a strange new supernatural world when she meets the mysterious Bill Compton, a southern Louisiana gentleman and vampire.Bill chooses to die for no good reason and it's depressing.
- CreatorGary Scott ThompsonStarsJosh DuhamelJames CaanJames LesureWelcome to the Montecito Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where you can do anything you want, but Ed Deline and his crack surveillance team will be watching. Just remember: what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.Cancelled with a cliffhanger.
- CreatorChris FedakJosh SchwartzStarsZachary LeviYvonne StrahovskiJoshua GomezWhen a computer geek inadvertently downloads critical government secrets into his brain, both the CIA and the NSA assign an agent to protect him and exploit his newfound skills.Sarah starts to lose her memory and Chuck reminds her how they met. The end!
I think the writer watched the Note Book too many times.
