There are many popular shows that have a reputation for awful endings: Dexter (V1), The Blacklist, The Umbrella Academy & others. Do you have a show that you think ended on a strange note planned or unplanned that is under the radar?
For me it’s Oh, Doctor Beeching! (1996). It’s a British sitcom from one of the creators of Are You Being Served? set in a failing train station in the early 60’s.
In the finale they have a hastily thrown together street party to celebrate the station’s 100th Anniversary. They only have baked beans, pea soup & cauliflower to eat. The shows ends with the farts of the characters blowing out their window curtains to the tune of the theme song.
