Jurassic Park III was probably the bottom of the barrel, which I felt sorry for Spielburg.getting replaced by Joe Johnston.

Dear Cartoon Network,

 

 

Love,

All Your Original Fans

Cliffhanger endings that never get explained or continued.

 

Trinity Blood, for example.

 

Anime that do this are annoying because more often than not it's because the manga isn't finished by the end of the anime. Some get their season 2 but a lot don't. The above mentioned anime is one of many.

I was pissed..... Worst EVAR series finale.

 

Another finale I was quite unhappy with was Rosario Vampire..... Toooooo many cliffhangers to count yo.

I hated the Teen Titans series finale. It was so sad and left a lot of unanswered questions. I think there was supposed to be a season 6 that never happened, so that may be why.

 

On another note, most people hate the Seinfeld series finale but I thought it was a good way to end the series.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

The finale to Samurai Jack. Oh wait, that's right, there never was one.

I dont really pay attention to series finales....

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

Sonic SatAM ended on a cliffhanger, this was in the age before the Internet. If there was good Internet back then, ABC heads would have rolled for that one.

 

In fact, most cartoons are either cancelled too early, stretched too thin for anyone to care when it ends, or ended unceremoniously when they hit the syndication limit. When can we have one that even has a good finale?

Any show that gets cancelled after a cliffhanger, imo the biggest offender being Hey Arnold

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

The Sopranos. Seriously, it's so not cool to end a show by just cutting it to black mid sentence. 

[man dude man 555]

Semi off topic, butt they should have left Teen Titans dead as opposed to making that Teen Titans Go horseshit.

[Castle Bleck 19,440]

@TrollRepellent,

 

*Cartoon Network board meeting...*

 

Chairman: Okay, everyone, I want to reboot Teen Titans. Any suggestions?

 

Executive: Let's make this version like MADtv!

 

Chairman: ...You're fired.

 

Executive: ...I see... So you don't mind if I leak these photos of you strangling hookers?

 

Chairman: ...MADtv-style it is, then.

I believe this video sums it up rather nicely

The end to Sonic SatAM. It was a great cartoon and it ended on a cliffhanger after Robotnik was 'killed' and was never renewed for another season. This was because some change in management at ABC and they decided to give it the axe. However the most tragic part was that the head writer for the show slaved away trying to get the show renewed up until his death!

The way Teen Titans ended was so abrupt. I mean, we don't learn anything that happened to Terra and it literaly ends with Beast boy just running off.

[Rift enchanted 380]

The finally to total drama is today. Let's see how that ends up.

   When I was younger I liked the Care Bears, so when I saw the first season of the Nelvana show I thought it was okay, after the series finale it was wasted. The show had good potential, it started out with good character development, establishing the setting, and building the plot, after than the bar was set phenomenally low, ruining the all the effort from the first season, like introduction Shrieky who I revile to this day, she was annoying and sublimely over the top, then we saw less of the main villain No Heart, but to me the biggest travesty was focusing on only on eight characters in the rest of the show, so I got way too much of Braveheart Lion, Cheer Bear, Brightheart Raccoon, Grumpy Bear, Treatheart Pig, Grams Bear finally Hugs and Tugs, which effectively binned the character development and screen time of the other characters, and I really wanted more screen time from the rest of the Care Bears Family, also they dropped the "family" bit after season one. The most grave miscalculation of the eighties Care Bears, was after season one finale, the plot was totally forgotten, it just became one random set piece after another, so the was an endless barrage of inconsistencies and continuity errors, which widened the plot holes already present in the Care Bears storyline, so that was a major disappointment, but for nostalgic value I still revisit the first season, wishing the writing was improved upon rather than falling into a condescending mess.

Forever Knight. Spoiler ending but it wasn't pretty.

 

The Original Battlestar Galactica. Series cancelled after one season on a hint that they might be getting close to their goal.

 

The remade He Man and the Masters of the Universe. Series ended midway through second season without resolution.

[Quill Waver 1,408]

Alphas series finale.

 

It left the show on such a cliff-hanger; the population of New York City has seemingly been wiped out by a powerful EMP, except for one Alpha that happens to absorb the energy and has had to watch his friends die. What kind of an ending is that?!

[Midnight Dragon 264]

Any series that gets cancelled before everything is resolved.

[Castle Bleck 19,440]

Heroes:

 

Samuel's been defeated, and now Claire goes to jump off a ledge, which will reveal her ability (and, indirectly, everyone else's) to the world. And then...

 

...

 

...

[Literally Snails 2,307]

The series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer left a bad taste in my mouth. Which sucks because the series itself was so awesome.

 

The finale of Monk seemed way too rushed. Once again, great show, weak ending.

 

Obviously, Lost belongs on this list as well.
