NathanQuantum Leap
On the show Quantum Leap, there was brewing question that asked if Dr. Sam Beckett would ever make it home after the 5 seasons? However, the show about time travel became a huge let down due to 2 main reasons. The first is that the season finale was never intended to be one but the producers felt that it would be a good way to show that Sam never made it home. The second reason is the very fact that Sam never returned home. Even though G0d told Sam he could return home, the note clearly states he never managed to reach home ever.
St. Elsewhere
St. Elsewhere was the source of entertainment for many as it consisted of macabre comedy with medical drama. It even won an Emmy award. In 1988 when the show ended, the fans were left in utter shock regarding the direction the producers took it. After 6 years of watching St. Elsewhere it was revealed that the whole series was Tommy Westphall’s imagination. Imagine being a dedicated fan only to realize that the events never happened to your favorite characters.
Mork & Mindy
Mork & Mindy is one of the most thrilling shows to watch especially because comedy legend Robin Williams stars on the show. The series ended with a 3 part special where Mork and Mindy fight against aliens who send robots to Mindy’s apartment to try and blow up Mork. The pair then manages to escape back in time using their time travel shoes and ends up with a vortex. No one came to know how they ended up as the show closed with the vortex on screen.
Charlie’s Angels
The original series of Charlie’s Angels saw the girls kicking butt and were mostly action packed with the girls attempting to save the people from many evil villains. However, in the final episode of the series Kelly gets a shot in the head while Boseley just stands there doing nothing. The Angels then end up in the hospital with no proper conclusion that was followed by the flashback of episodes in the past.
Felicity
Felicity‘s finale may not exactly be a bad one but deserves a spot here anyway because of its uniqueness. There was a final episode that had already been planned but the producers decided to add 5 more episodes. The episode saw her travel back in time to fix the problems of the future and it was indeed a big twist. It was a nice finishing touch that gave the audience a chance to breathe and accept.
Futurama
Some cartoon shows are much too precious to have a bad ending. However, Futurama bid farewell to its fans back in 2013. The finale episode showed Fry and Leela’s wedding where the marriage took place in a world where there was no time. It is not that disappointing but then the producers could have done a better job nonetheless. The episode does not rate that low but then many fans were left very unhappy with how the whole series wrapped up.
