Sorry.. I'm a fountain of worthless trivia sometimes.

I am one of the few I guess who thought the Seinfeld finale was spot on. I mean, what else is there to do with a show like that?

Did you just dislike the new Becky on Roseanne? I thought there was too much Roseanne/Conners left to end it, just because the original Becky, left for them to cancel.
The Seinfeld finale was completely unrealistic and out of character when compared to the rest of the show. And, honestly, that entire episode was just not funny! They end up in jail for life? No way, come on...they could have written better.

Regarding Roseanne: the 2nd Becky was a horrible actress and, by the time she came around, the show barely resembled itself. Roseanne, at the end of its run, was nothing like the show that I fell in love with. So, everything was wrong with the last year or so of Roseanne.

Yes, it was a year.

And the characters were just as self centered and callous as they had always been LOL, but the jokes fell flat IMO.

Charlie's Angels - When Farrah left after the first season
She was such a huge part of the show and had great chemistry with Jacklyn Smith & Kate Jackson. I felt Cheryl Ladd was a good choice to fill the role, considering that was a hard role to fill.

It was my fav show to watch in the 70s and without Farrah on the show, where would the inspiration come to keep my hair fluffy ! My friends and I spent alot of time trying to get the awesome Farrah hair ! There was no way we ever came close, but we keep on trying !
Love you Farrah !

Bummer. The characters she played were something I turned to form my personalty on. Sort of like Bailey Quarters.

Back to the topic.

Crossing Jordan with no Jordan. I realize Jill was off on maternity leave at the time, but the name of the show is "Crossing Jordan" and I expected to see her character. No Jordan and the reason to watch soon disappeared.

Quincy when they turned from him solving cases to having each episode being a crusade.

Buffy being continued after it left the WB. When it became about real life and the nerds, I was practically crying. The last season may have been something great but the second to last season burned the bridge. I wasn't watching anymore.

Nurses 2nd season on. What was fun and intellectual first season was painful and a disaster from there on. Almost as complete a debauchery as Operation: Petticoat 2nd season.

Now, on a slightly different note, those shows that weren't sure they were going to get one more season like Voyager, Charmed, Babylon V? The open ended concluding episode they made, just in case, was wonderful! A find example of how to do things.

Thanks for the correction. Regardless, watching that episode felt like a life-sentence. LOL

George and Izzy on "Grey's Anatomy" starting an affair just totally ruined it for me. To me it jumped the shark and I quit watching it after that season.

"2-1/2 Men" turned Alan's character into an even bigger, unemployed sap, and the mother pretty much got axed from the show. I still watch it but...

The old 90's show, "LA Law", started getting outrageously ridiculous.

"Harry's Law" had a good first season but it changed it's office format radically.

Did that happen after the Izzy/Denny mess? That's when I stopped watching.
