There's nothing more difficult for a screenwriter than coming up with a finale for a beloved show you've worked on for years. Saying goodbye to the characters you created is hard enough, but the fact that millions of fans are waiting for you to come up with a clever way to wrap up the story while giving all the characters the closure they deserve is even harder.

Of course, not many writers manage to not crumble under the pressure, and only a select few give audiences universally acclaimed finales. Luckily, the imagination of the fans always runs free, and they are able to give their favorite shows a fitting ending. At least in their minds.

Here are 9 alternative TV show endings that are better than the original:

Yes, there are a lot of annoyingly stupid finales on this list, and some of them flopped so badly that fans refused to even watch the show again because of them. The characters were treated unfairly, and their long journeys to the finale were devalued by writers who failed to come up with any good ideas.

Thanks to the fans, we at least have an idea of how good the well thought out finales would have been in reality, and it's a huge shame that the producers didn't even try to reach out to the fans before developing the last seasons, as they would have surely realized how beloved the shows are, forcing the writers to take their job a bit more seriously.

If you plan to watch the shows on this list, don't forget to skip the finales!
