Few shows have truly great final seasons, especially when it comes to sitcoms \u2014 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<\/a> asked people to share the sitcoms that have the WORST final season<\/a>, and there were plenty to choose from…1. “Roseanne<\/a> (the OG series) might be the gold standard for worst final season.”\"Two<\/p>\n

ABC<\/p>\n

2. The Goldbergs<\/a>. “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<\/p>\n

3. “Not that a lot of people remember it, but the final season of The Drew Carey Show<\/a> 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<\/p>\n

ABC<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

NBC<\/p>\n

14. “The League. That last season was absolutely awful.”\"Two<\/p>\n

FX Networks<\/p>\n

\u2014BigBoy1229<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019s over the top, Mary Jo is cranky, Carlene is lobotomized, and Anthony\u2019s insta-wife Etienne (Sheryl Lee Ralph) should\u2019ve been a recast Vanessa Chamberlain (Jackee Harry, who Dixie Carter did not want to work with).”\"Two<\/p>\n

CBS<\/p>\n

\u2014BigOk1009<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

Paramount+<\/p>\n

\u2014teddybluethecurser<\/a><\/p>\n

22. “I absolutely love King of Queens, but the final season was strange because there are only 13 episodes \u2014 maybe four of them are good, and the rest are terrible, especially the last five episodes.”\"Two<\/p>\n

CBS<\/p>\n

\u2014watermelon_fries<\/a><\/p>\n
