    this is not the worst finales, it’s the finales that had the worst ratings vs series average. if anything this is about series that fell off near the end. there are many shows that were popular near the end, so people tuned in to the finale (which would mean a high rating) and hated the finale anyway. Seinfeld is the most popular example, even though i don’t really agree with the consensus myself.

    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 almost threw my phone across the room when I saw Scrubs on this list, but then I saw that they used season 9 as their basis for the “ending,” which, of course, is preposterous.

      I was committed on seeing the whole scrubs series but when season 8 ended it had such a great closure I just couldn’t make myself to keep watching.

        Season 8 is the last season, you watched all of scrubs and you had the beautiful finale (as even the data shows, it’s amazing and my eyes always wet when I rewatch it).

        There is no season 9. There is a spinoff show, called “scrubs med”, which takes place in a med school and has some of the scrubs characters as teachers but they are there just as supporting characters. Somebody in charge of the show decided that for scrubs med to be successful it had to be branded as scrubs “proper”, so the show was released as scrubs, season 9.

        Obviously it tanked. Too bad, because I think it was a nice show after all.

    Game of thrones was not mentioned in a single comment (at the time of writing this comment).

    I guess it wasn’t soo bad on an objective scale but just fully killed the relevance of the show.

      I don’t know what y’all are talking about about. GoT ended after season 5. It’s a shame they never finished it.
