People Are Sharing The Sitcoms With Final Seasons So Bad, They Were Actually Glad They Were Ending

Few shows have truly great final seasons, especially when it comes to sitcoms — too often, the characters have been reduced to cardboard caricatures by the end, and the jokes have well and truly worn thin. Recently, Reddit user Flaky-Debate-833 asked people to share the sitcoms that have the WORST final season, and there were plenty to choose from…1. “Roseanne (the OG series) might be the gold standard for worst final season.” Two women are indoors; one wears a leopard print coat and fur hat, the other wears a beige suit with a hat, scarf, and large earrings

2. The Goldbergs. “The creator wanted to end it on a good note but the network said, ‘Fuck that, let’s drag this out a couple more seasons.'” Two people smiling and hugging, one wearing a shimmering jacket and the other in a patterned shirt and dark blazer

3. “Not that a lot of people remember it, but the final season of The Drew Carey Show was sad and depressing. Obviously, the budget was slashed, a key cast member left, and they even broadcast the episodes out of order. It became a mockery of itself.” A man in glasses and a suit sits beside a woman in a hospital bed who appears to be in labor, with medical staff attending

4. “That ’70s Show. Not only did it get rid of two main characters, but it replaced them with one of the worst sitcom characters ever: Randy.” Person holding a "Help Wanted" sign, smiling, with posters visible in the background

5. “How I Met Your Mother was the most infuriating final season of any show I’ve ever watched.” Two people sit closely at a round table in a cozy setting, smiling and engaged in conversation, with drinks in front of them

9. “The Office after Michael Scott left. Some of the best writers also left around Season 8 and 9, and it really showed… The show was about Michael Scott, and without him, it was a different show.” A man in a suit stands and poses energetically on a desk in an office, while a seated colleague watches with mild surprise

13. “I’m currently rewatching A Different World for the first time since I was a kid. I started binging it a few weekends ago when I was sick and flew through the first five seasons. Then the last season started… Don’t get me wrong, there are still tons of moments where the show makes powerful statements that are still relevant today. That said, some of the things going on here are… Choices. I’ve honestly skipped a few episodes because I’d like to finish the series but some of them are so cringy.” Two women are in a kitchen, one in an apron and the other in a satin top, engaged in conversation over a large turkey on the counter

14. “The League. That last season was absolutely awful.” Two men stand together, one in glasses and a cardigan, the other in a striped sweater, appearing puzzled or deep in conversation

15. “Designing Women. As much as Season 6 with Julia Duffy is (unfairly) derided, Season 7 is just bad. Judith Ivey as BJ is great, but Julia’s over the top, Mary Jo is cranky, Carlene is lobotomized, and Anthony’s insta-wife Etienne (Sheryl Lee Ralph) should’ve been a recast Vanessa Chamberlain (Jackee Harry, who Dixie Carter did not want to work with).” Two women in a conversation. One wears a navy blazer with a black top, the other a white feathered outfit. Artwork is visible in the background

16. “Parks and Rec. I adore that show but the last season proved it was time to go. Ron was getting Flanderized. Why give Leslie and Ben kids we then see once?” Two people embrace warmly in an office setting. One wears a blazer, and the other has an orange sweater. A wine bottle is on the table nearby

17. “New Girl had an awful final season IMO.” Two people smiling enthusiastically, one with long hair and a nose ring, wearing a casual top; the other with short hair in a suit

18. “Once they moved to California, it was the start of the end, but Laverne & Shirley, with no Shirley, was the last nail in the coffin.” A group of actors in a 1980s-style bar scene, with one in a leather jacket gesturing animatedly; others hold trays with drinks, dressed in casual outfits

20. “Martin. That last season was rough. Four to five episodes in and Gina is barely a part of the show and when she is, it’s super awkward and weird.” Person in an indoor setting with a puzzled expression, wearing a suede jacket over a collared shirt

21. “I still haven’t finished Younger. Something about it changed and just didn’t pull me in like the previous seasons.” Three women look surprised in an indoor setting. One holds a tablet, another a phone, and the third wears a ribbon-tied shirt

CBS

23. And finally, “The last season of Frasier was godawful.” A man wearing headphones, seated at a radio station console, smiles as a group of people, including someone holding a baby, watches through a window
