NathanWeeds
Weeds is another show produced by Showtime that managed to get the viewer’s interest quickly and also losing them quickly as well. The show was loved by fans when it first aired but then the fans soon grew sick of how they handled the plots. The show was stretched too much and had it ended before it actually did, it could have saved most of its initial good reputation. The series finale brings an insight of the future of the Botwins, eight years in the future, which critics rated as a desperate and easy attempt to fix up the loose ends. It was very nostalgic to see the characters sharing a join on the porch in the opening of the show but then it was not enough to clear up all of the confusion that the plot twists have collected.
The Hills
One of the first of its kind, The Hills was a reality show that followed several LA youngsters in their pursuit of having a career and name for themselves. This show first started off with the designer Lauren Conrad, who was the star of another reality show LagunaBeach in her journey with other cast mates like Kristen Cavalleri and Brody Jenner. Many of the fans loved to watch the show as it followed these attractive young men and women who were open enough to invite cameras into their private lives and problems. However, when Cavalleri and Jenner hug goodbye at the end, all of the prior notion that this was all reality came to a close. The Hollywood sign dropped behind them which made it clear that all of the incidents in the show were all scripted and not real. It was indeed a big surprise that left fans furious.
FlashForward
FlashForward was one show that had a very promising plot to it. Many were on board to watch the show as it sounded very fresh and exciting fro the very start. This show was about the FBI trying to find out the reason for the whole world to experience a blackout followed by a short vision of themselves in the future. Obviously, the show seemed as though it would be one of the best drama shows to ever air on television. But the show was a disappointment as the fans were left to wonder what happened as the finale was nothing but a huge cliffhanger. The series finale was quite intense as there was another blackout that was soon followed by a flashback showing how the main character ended up. The show ended with Mike stuck in the FBI office with the office soon exploding. Whatever happened to him will forever be an unanswered question.
Lost
Lost is definitely one show that interested fans all over the globe with its heavy drama leaving us with intense curiosity after every episode. The show follows the cast on their journey in the mysterious island where a lot of incidents happen that keeps the audience from ever getting bored. It dragged the viewers for several seasons in the hopes that hey would find an answer to their biggest questions and confusions. However, even when the series ended, fans were still not given enough explanations to their long-awaited queries. The writers could not have picked a worse ending as it still left people puzzled till the very end. Maybe the writer did this on purpose as they wanted to keep everyone guessing. The final episode shows the character attending church in an alternative universe where the crash never happened. It was an open ending that was left for the interpretation of the viewers to make their own conclusion.
Pushing Daisies
Pushing Daisies was one show that kept the audience thoroughly entertained with its quirky plot. However, it ended up as one of those shows that would remain a mystery as its ending did not clear up the confusion of the viewers. The show’s second season seemed like the beginning of a beautiful show that was promising with so much potential. The show was abruptly ended and the writer literally left the fans on the doorsteps. The final episode followed the main characters Ned and Chuck on the doorsteps of her aunt to tell her that she had been alive and well the whole time. The epilogue kept on the episode does help clear out some confusion but then the viewers were left wondering how Ned explains himself to whole Chuck family. What do you think would have been his approach?
Battlestar Galactica
We all know that most of the television adaptations of blockbuster movies or classic shows never work out quite well in the end. This is the same for the show Battlestar Galactica. The 1978 Battlestar Galactica TV series was again made into a show back in 2004 with some few changes. Although the show went on for a good 4 seasons, and with a very massive fan following, the show ended up not delivering answers in the final episode. There was one big revelation in the end which was that there was a higher power, a.k.a. God, who is in charge of everything. There were speculations that this was the only way the writers could keep the fans from wondering too much as they did not have the answers themselves. The show ended up being a big failure as fans were incredibly mad at the writer for such a sucky ending.
