​@@UltimateDespairado That's what, in the TV business, they call a re-run.

[@brodymorris9212]

Greys anatomy died when mark and Lexie died, and then declined completely when Cristina left. The show never recovered from the loss of mark, Lexie and Cristina

[@akirababe1570]

I thought Callie and George were devastating losses to the show, too. I still watch it, but it just hasn't recaptured me like those first seasons did. It was a team of people terrified of messing up, exhausted, and excited to be doing something they've been training for for years. And now it's just... how many epic disasters can we put the remaining people through before they all die? Although I did like the Covid arc, because they really showcased how hard it was for all the people who had to work through it. The healthcare system STILL hasn't recovered from the loss of staff due to deaths and burnout.

[@angyeet5392]

a show always dies when more than half of the original characters leave. The show was so interesting at first but after christina left and derek died, the only plot lines were to have every doctor sleeping with each other and moving on to the next doctor

[@gianinalh]

[@elementalcobalt1]

I mean... they released a movie "How I Met Your Mother" a few years before the tv-show... and they honestly ended it very similarly. She didn't die... but the entire story revealed how his true love wasn't the one he ended up with (and subsequently divorced in the movie), and it was only through his children he realized they were always meant to be together. I'm not sure why people didn't expect him to end up with the on again/off again girl, that was kind always the point. I always felt the entire concept worked better as a movie anyway.

[@redacted2275]

​@@elementalcobalt1There’s a difference between spending two hours watching a movie and dedicating almost a decade watching a show... the end of the movie has no importance in this case, they could and did change it for the sitcom.

[@fire-king5559]

The last episode of How I Met Your Mother just ruined the whole series for me. We spent the last season with the planning and wedding of Robin and Barney, only to have them divorce and the mother just dying so Ted and Robin could be together. It just felt wrong.

[@seanbroccoli2698]

How? Ted pretty much implies she is dead in Season 7 I think where he has that bar night with multiple versions of himself and Barny. The whole series has really been about Ted chasing Robin. Seasons 1-6 literally had almost nothing to do with "The Mother". The final season sucked because yes a lot of time was spent on the wedding and then years of content was thrown into 2 episodes.

[@julz3tt3]

Did no one see that coming? The writers wanted Ted and Robin together from the beginning.

[@brittanytrusler5295]

​@@julz3tt3honestly it seemed pretty obvious the whole time that Ted was telling the kids about how he met their late mother. I was more shocked that so many people didn't see it coming.

[@oldladyfishing]

To be fair, Buffy's death was supposed to be the series finale until the series was bought by another nerwork.

[@jemmemccann2952]

Agreed, and with the writers staying the same and their commitment to always paying off big moments as opposed to glossing over them in 5 minutes of an episode, it had to become much darker. By the end though, it was great again. I loved every episode of the last season!

[@boostbeetle]

And while Season 6 is a difficult season of the show, I think picking the death is just an easy and unwarranted knock. Now, 'magic is a drug addiction' from Wrecked/Smashed, killing Tara, Spike in Seeing Red, or even just Doublemeat Palace are all much better pinpoints. Or even just Kennedy.

[@waterup380]

I think the show got cancelled and we never knew it

[@chrisalan1133]

Sometimes it's just obvious the people at MOJO don't watch the shows they talk about

[@shellc]

@@waterup380 As far as I am aware, it was decided by Joss and he and Sarah got them together to say S7 was it. To be honest, it wasn't that much of a surprise as the cast only had contracts up until then and when talking about it, it was clear in interviews a lot of them were going through the motions (lol). Joss, Nick and others have talked about it a few times because of Alyson and her claims that they only found out it was ending when they saw it on a magazine when she went on a bizarre passive-aggressive attack on Sarah a few years back, mentioning it whenever people asked as well as saying Sarah all but hated the show after S3, for some reason, only shutting up when she was called out about constantly going on about it. Angel on the other hand got cancelled because of Joss and his arrogance. He always played the 'if you don't renew it this instant then I will take it elsewhere' card to force their hands as it was usually one of the last renewed each year but when it came time to decided about S6, he tried it again, they got sick of him and his threats and cancelled it there and then.

[@yellalot101]

Everybody saying Carl's death in TWD was it for them. But for me it was when Rick left. We were there with him from the absolute beginning and it was HIS story imo.

[@revben]

It was the combination of the two for me

[@DarkMoonGeneral]

Uh if you know even a little about the comics it is CARL's story and killing him off made no sense. And thats when I stopped. Also the fact that Negan felt more emotion for Carl then Rick is messed up ( And i love Negan) So yeah its not Ricks story just because we started with him.

[@samiatay]

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

I got bored around season 5, so that's when the show died.

[@ProjectDv2]

Sherlock's seeming death and later illogical return are *literally* from the source material and any fan that felt nose-thumbed by it didn't actually know anything about Sherlock Holmes. In Conan Doyle's books, Holmes and Moriarty fought at Reichenbach Falls, where they both fell to their deaths. That was intended to be the end of the stories, but he was persuaded to write more later and so Holmes miraculously survived. Since it was never intended, his return was rather awkwardly executed, and the show Sherlock basically poked fun at itself with it. If people understood the source material, they would've understood the episode.

[@MegaMerdeux]

Fans weren't mad at his fake suicide. It was the execution that was criticized. Fake suicides are rarely a good twist in either case.

[@ProjectDv2]

@@MegaMerdeux That's literally what I'm saying. Go back and re-read my comment with the idea that I'm talking about the execution and not the subject matter.

[@Uniqueen1114]

I agree. This is probably the best explanation of the Sherlock death !

[@christopherbennett6571]

People rarely read the source material.

[@beerosaurusrex]

But was that actually intended to be the final season of Sherlock? Otherwise it's copying source material without the same context. It was still poorly executed. Besides, I don't think that ruined the show, it was Series 3 itself that was substantially below the quality of the first two.

[@martinkoehler3631]

Only good part about Buffy's Resurrection is that she was pissed about it cause she was at peace. It at the very least had a fresh take on someone coming back.

[@heathernks8]

Bruh, what? Season 6 was all about how adults deal with depression, financial strife, addiction, and young romance/marriage. In short, to quote Whedon, "The big bad of Season 6 is LIFE." Buffy's death kick-started it all.

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

"Only good part"?! There was no bad part. Anyone who thinks the show should've ended with Buffy dying young like most Slayers never understood the point of the show at all.

@@alisoncassidy3255 it was so STUPID...horrifying nonsense

[@JeremyBearimy913]

Season 2 had issues that needed addressing, but the Writer's Strike and subsequent decision to end the season early to focus on retooling the show was a BIG mistake. They effectively scrapped all plans and then had too much time on their hands to work on season 3, leading to overthinking and second-guessing that culminated in season 3 being a convoluted retconning of season 2. It's like how there were valid criticisms of The Last Jedi, and then JJ Abrams overcorrected, scrapped everything, and made the entire purpose of Rise of Skywalker to be a retcon of Last Jedi, the end result being a half-baked, underwritten, pandering, contrived attempt at basically making a big budget version of a Star Wars fan fiction film you would see on KZbin.

[@joshuablankenship4701]

Facts we all knew they would get together at some point i still enjoyed every season though

Agreed. House driving his car into Cuddy's home felt forced to me.

[@Trekapedia]

Everyone took a paycut to give the money to the final season and episode. Lisa Edelstein refused, said she was more important than Hugh Laurie and quit. That’s her problem. They tried to get her to return for the series finale and she DEMANDED a massive payday, restating she shouldn’t have to follow the same rules as everyone else, was better than Hugh, and refused so that’s on her. I’m sorry, but the show wasn’t called Cuddy’s show, it was called House M.D.

[@carlymills1090]

@@Trekapedia When did she state that she was more important than Hugh Laurie?

[@TheUberjammer]

Lisa Edelstein wanted to be given a car in lieu of pay for the last episode - it was supposed to be a gift for Laurie, but she wanted it for herself. It was detailed with a big picture of Kutner on the hood, and she said that since House never cared for Kutner, she should get the car, because it was more in line with her character. Then she turned into a block of cheese, and obviously you CAN'T have a block of cheese acting a human part, only a cheese part. Then she was sliced up and plated with olives and crackers, knowing FULL WELL that Laurie was allergic to olives. Laurie died of an allergic reaction brought on by a piece of kumquat that fell on to one of the olives, and then got re-plated elsewhere. Lisa Edelstein was moved to a female prison on mars, where they keep her in a permanent state of giggles. I have proof of all of these things in my wallet, but I can't find my wallet.

[@janeace426]

Hardcore disagree about House. The whole point was that he botched that relationship too because of how broken he is.. so he had to go back to doctoring.

[@MegaMerdeux]

Their relationship completely ruined the show. House acted completely out of character (specially after cuddy dumped him for the dumbest reason ever). He literally smashed his car into her house without even knowing if she was in the living room. He could've killed her, which is something he'd never do. Then him faking his own suicide (despite the fact that house was against suicide, he actually gave a little speech explaining why he's against it after Kal Penn's character killed himself). And his best friend, a oncologist having cancer was another cliche lazy twist. That was basically adding salt to several injuries. I love Dr House, dont get me wrong. But the show had very bad twists and weird arcs (like Dr Hosue in prison)....

[@Backstabmacro]

@@MegaMerdeuxthe cancer twist may have been predictable from a trope standpoint, but the relationship between Wilson and House was really cool to see change. Cuddy should have never been a thing that actually happened, though. Maybe he got close enough to success before she pulled away at something stupid he did, driving him further up his own ass or something. But not what they gave us.

[@zoyadulzura7490]

I was sad about Michael leaving (he really was the heart of the show), but then mad with what they did with Andy. Also Toby and Oscar. Toby went from being awkward, meek, and likeable to stalkerish and creepy. Oscar went from intelligent to arrogant. And Kevin just got dumber and dumber, going from kind of silly to incompetent and fireable. I still like the show through the ending seasons, but these things bothered me.

I know it's been said but I strongly disagree with Buffy's death/resurrection being on this list.

It's beloved by many and wouldn't exist without her death and come back.

[@juliapalos2077]

[@saltydog7038]

I've said before and I'll say it again I think Once More With Feeling is the single best episode of TV ever. It has a really good self contained story and it moved the plot of the season and character developments that had been brewing for years and the songs are good and catchy. It works for non-fans and works better for fans.

Her character didn't have charisma or relevance for the plot after that. But the first death of Buffy lasted like 2 mins and it was not a cliffhanger. The second death of Buffy was at the end of the season, so the only thong that made sense is something I read, they were about to end the show, but then another company bought it and wanted the show to continue.

I always thought it was just an exit from the network and they always planned on her coming back. (At least after based on what I heard.) In any case, for me I had seen Buffy face every possible situation with increasingly difficult villains, starting as basic vampires and ending with a god as the boss of season 5, I just felt after that there wasn't any reason to watch. I did watch the last few episodes of season 7 to see how it totally ended. I will say Buffy got a great series finale...twice. 😂

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

​@z-almas4845 You're not alone. I know a lot of people didn't like Dawn. I don't either like or mind Dawn. To me, she's a character you're supposed to be annoyed with. It's like a villain you hate. It's cause the actor and plot are good. Maybe Dawn was necessary for season 5 but hurt the rest of the show. I can't say. I thought they missed a big opportunity to explore new things when Buffy could have been in a cool new dimension from the portal. (Well cool for us, not her.) Same as an episode of Angel season 4 he goes through a portal, and while he does some stuff there, it was too quick. Then again, different dimensions cost a lot of money to produce.

[@fbrume]

Just dropping in to be that guy...Buffy's death wasn't a "fakeout." She died. Willow resurrected Buffy from heaven, something that was a major driver of the musical episode later that season. Which by the way is "a musical episode at best" example, because that musical was amazing. Willow's discovery that she had taken her best friend out of eternal peaceful rest to be alive again is a gutpunch. The "witchcraft = drug" crap was definitely the low point of season 6 and the series as a whole.

Jon takes his position as king, restoring the Targaryen bloodline to the throne, which is what Dany wanted. She comes to her senses, honors Jon's claim to the throne, she lives. For her crimes against King's Landing, Jon exiles her back to Mereen which ends up being a blessing since she's a queen over there and the people actually love her--it's where she belongs and she's happy to return home. Jon is king but, we all know he just wanted to be free so, as king of the seven kingdoms, he accompanies the wildlings to establish a northern kingdom north of the wall. Bran, with all of his wise three-eyed stuff, is hand of the king and is left to rule in Jon's absence. Sansa is queen of the north, Arya goes on her adventures.

If you know Doctor Who, you understand the Sherlock issue. Creator Steven Moffat often has the most brilliant ideas for stories…but no clear ending to those stories. Sometimes, he can pull off a complete beginning, middle, end. But more often, he kind of fizzles out, unable to come up with a believable ending that works with the plot. Then tries to cover it up by saying something like, “Well, what do YOU think it means? That’s up to interpretation!” 🙄 A lot of Whovians predicted he would pull this when we saw that season ender.

[@Blitze9792]

There's a reason why I fizzled out in the Moffat era when watching Doctor Who, and that was why. Chibnail was meh at best. I'm looking forward ti seeing RTD back at the helm though. It was a shame though the way Sherlock went, because I don't think we'll ever get a better pairing than Cumberbatch and Freeman.

IMO Dr. Who needs to go back into hiatus for another decade and start again in 2035. Let all of these stories mellow and pass out of the consciousness. Relying on David Tennent to jump back in to revive the series and remain the DR. at the same time as another DR is ALSO out there was such a cheap cop out.

Agreed on the Moffat shows. They start out amazing, and then somewhere along the way they just get needlessly complicated and messy. Cumberbatch and Freeman were the absolute best pairing ever. I think I could get on board for a "Season 4 was just one of John's nightmares" scenario to re-set the characters (sorry not sorry - Mary never happened, and neither did Eurus or Abusive John).

You missed Castle. It should have had a happy ending with a wedding at the end of S6, instead they stretched it beyond breaking point with the CIA/LokSat story line over the last 2 seasons. The ensemble cast had gotten too expensive so they had to make cuts and this affected the show, together with the breakdown in relations between the two leads. To go back further, before WatchMojo's ken, "McMillan & Wife" was a hit show which was killed by killing off Susan Saint James's character after Susan became too uppity about her contract.

The problem was the writers knew how they wanted to end the series when the show began, and they stubbornly stuck with it instead of letting the show and characters naturally choose their direction. That's why it felt forced and wrong- because they had to shoehorn in an ending that no longer fit with the narrative.

[@seanbroccoli2698]

Its silly because it was implied she was dead much earlier than the finale. In one episode Ted says he wished he had more time with her. Not only that but the majority of the show actually has nothing to do with him meeting the mother. The best seasons of HIMYM are all about Ted chasing Robin.

Beth was the single most useless character in the show aside form that Nicholas douche who unalived himself and almost got Glen killed in the dumpster scene.

[@militiamama9444]

@@eleazarmoraru6532 My stance has more to do with her overall usefulness to the group, not her romantic/emotional involvement with people. Her Dad was a medic, and the moral compass for the group. Maggie served as protector/scavenger alongside Glen. Daryl was a "jack of all trades" hunter/scavenger/protector. Carol has the best character arc of the entire series, she suffered even before the apocalypse, and she was meant to look older to play into the role of the abused wife/mother, even though her character was late 30's early 40's. Daryl is mid to late 30's and Beth is 18-19, but again contributed nothing to the survival of the group, in fact she lead the group(especially Daryl) into danger more than once. Daryl always aims to save everyone, and if she hadn't died, he would have ended up dying to save her eventually.

Nip/Tuck in my opinion managed to out-jump the shark even Dexter. I started watching it thinking it'd be interesting to see a show about plastic surgeons and their stories about various crazy clients and what extreme or sad things they'd ask, and ended up watching a show where they killed mobsters and hid their corpses, and serial killers chasing them. If it had any more seasons they'd probably introduce a robot from the future forcing them to give him human skin ala-terminator to blend in and take over humanity, and how they'd break into a secret facility to bust out laser rifles to kill it.

The evolution of Fonzie from a tangential character as a soulful tough guy with a motorcycle into the major character -- and an almost magical being at that epitomizes the arc of the show from decent to awful.
