I was watching Home Improvement yesterday and I was a little pissed off thinking how they ended that show.

They should have had Tim and Al on Tool Time doing a major project and Al doesn't realize Tim isn't fucking around this time, he's actually being severely electrocuted and Al's just having a good time until Heidi comes out and says

"What the fuck Albert!? Maybe if you weren't late to the show again because you had a hang over you would know this wasn't part of the script you fat fucking alcoholic bastard!! GOD I HATE YOU!!!! HELP ME!!"

Meanwhile Jill and the kids are all watching this shit at home and Randy makes some little off color remark like "Ohhh is this an old episode?" And Jill hauls off and smacks him across his face spilling blood everywhere and teeth scattered across the living room floor.

Then it all goes to the ER where they pronounce Tim dead upon arrival and balloons fall from the ceiling. However, the doctors are actually still working on Tim Allen, and while this was all part of the show, shit turned real and Tim Allen REALLY is having a heart attack.

That would be wild.

The gang on "Seinfeld" should have been hit by a bus or something instead of going to jail.

In the finale of "Friends," the plane Ross and Rachel board could have crashed. After all those years of "will they or won't they," they could have died together right after "they will."

I don't watch much first-run TV, so I can't think of any more recent shows.

Well if I had watched that shit, I would have met it with high praise, as long as the tragedy was a real disaster.

I never liked that show. So a big freak gas leak garage fire halfway through the first episode would have made me ponder if the show could have been good.

Yeahhhhhhhh I mean i'm with you here man. I just think for a show like that they would have to make it a surprise. Debra tries to make Ray do the dishes and he says "oh yeah?" and she says "it'll only take a minuAGHHH" In comes Doug Heffernan from the King of Queens for a quick run in shot where he holds her ass down and Ray goes to work with the toaster. Carrie is too busy gettin pregnant by someone else in midtown.

Funnily enough, it did end with Ray momentarily going nonresponsive during a minor surgery, scaring the shit out of his family.

Not would occur, DID occur.

In the final episode, he was taken by the government, who said he would be exposed to "experiments", but what they described came off more as torture.

Since the show didn't get another season after that as was planned where he would get rescued, the show ended by Alf being kidnapped, tortured, and never seen again.


Pretty messed up imo.

Married... With Children should have ended with Al waking up on a surgery table of a M.A.S.H. unit in Korea. He groans in pain, knowing that his time is near, and asks Hawkeye to tell his wife and children that he loves them.

I feel like this could have been an actual joke.

But you would, of course, have to change it to him telling Hawkeye to tell his family he'd see them in hell.

Scrubs. The final episode just cuts to black, and then it fades in to the hospital where J.D is dead in a bed, his co-workers around him taking note of the time of death, and commenting that he had been in a coma since suffering a stroke at the end of Season 2.

The Walking Dead

Rick wakes up from the nightmare and finds himself in the hospital after being shot in the first episode. All of his loved ones are still alive, but now he can't shake the feeling that his wife cheated on him with his best friend. In the final scene he opens the letter from the paternity testing agency and sheds a single, ambiguous tear before fading to black.

House. House gets in a motorcycle accident, putting him in a coma. We see that he can hear everybody around him but he can't communicate with them. A group of interns come in, gives him a diagnosis of lupus and the other doctors agree.

To be fair, I think most people were upset that the show ended with it being all about Robin after all more than the tragedy itself.

It also undid character development for Barney; and it makes you wonder why in the world did he go on for years just to say he is getting with his kind of ex .

This isnt entirely accurate though tbh if youre saying what I think youre saying

The afterlife bit was after everyone had died in their own time. Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, etc all presumably lived to a ripe old age

It was something like Jill getting a job in Indiana. Tim and the kids didn't wanna go. They ended up going but didn't want to leave the house so they dug it out of the ground I guess? And hauled it off to Indiana.

The only real reason I can think of them doing that was they though the show might come back I suppose, and they could keep the set the same.

It was Jill who didn't want to leave the house, and Tim wanted her to go because their life was all about his job. Also I think is was further way then IN. Because that is right next to Michigan , she would not have complained that much about moving one states down.
