10 TV Finales That Made You Embarrassed You Ever Cared

10. How I Met Your Mother - Last Forever

For nine seasons, fans of HIMYM were glued to their screens as they watched the questionable Ted Mosby tell the story of how he met the mother of his children.

Aside from the obvious observation that the show strung audiences along for over two-hundred episodes as the show wander through Ted's (often) toxic love life and that of his friends, the show's final introduction and confirmation of the "Mother" would have been a delightful end to the series and finally paid off what the show promised.

Instead, the series finale reveals that Tracy (the Mother) passed away several years before the show took place, and the real story was Ted's ever-loving feelings for Robin.

The message of the show was clear from the beginning, but instead (like most shows that run their course for too long) it forgot what its premise was and became something else entirely. Fans had watched Ted and Robin's relationship and while there was a divide for whether or not they were a match for each other, it still feels wrong that the introduction of the lovable Tracy AKA the titular Mother, wasn't even the main focus of the story.
