程度の副詞

I feel like I get back on track if I could just find one student to connect with, one kid that really needs me.

I mean, that's what it's all about, right?

Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times TV shows had us hooked from their exciting first seasons but lost us on the way to their series finales.

For five seasons, one could make the argument that 24 was the best show on TV.

It was probably the most exciting, with thrilling storylines, a unique time-based concept, and some brutally gritty drama.

I can't even begin to imagine what you went through over there, Jack.

The main problem with this batch of episodes is the inclusion of Jack's father and brother, who are revealed to be terrorists working with Charles Logan.

By making the antagonistic threats a part of Jack's family, the show veered way too far into soap opera territory, and many complained that the storyline was ridiculously contrived.

The nuclear bomb and its mind-boggling lack of repercussions certainly didn't help.

You're like, yeah, I bet those bears are gonna kick some butt on Sunday.

Roseanne was once the number one show on television.

However, during its final season, well, the first final season, the show took a drastic turn.

The average Conner family won the lottery.

Instead of being a down-to-earth family in relatable situations, the characters were suddenly thrust into many outlandish plotlines due to their fortune.

There were dream sequences galore, celebrity guest stars, and lots of nonsense that took the show further away from its roots.

Even before the finale's last-second rug pull, fans agreed that Roseanne had lost its spark.

I began writing about having all the money in the world, and I imagined myself going to spas and swanky New York parties, just like the people on TV, where nobody has any real problems and everything's solved within 30 minutes.

The only solace was that the poorly-received season officially became non-canon after the show's revival.

Throughout this drama series, the titular mysterious character of Gossip Girl narrates the show while revealing embarrassing and juicy details about people.

In the final episode, it's revealed that Dan Humphrey, aspiring writer and love interest of Serena, was the mystery person.

Dan being Gossip Girl creates a whole host of plot holes within the show.

These include occasions where Dan couldn't have posted as Gossip Girl, when he leaked compromising info about himself, or went after those close to him.

Most bafflingly, there were times when he reacted to posts he allegedly made with shock when he was alone.

This one reveal made the show make less sense and left it worse off than before. 7.

That 70s Show While this 70s-themed sitcom may have been about hanging out with a group of quirky teens and their parents, Eric Foreman was seen as the main protagonist.

So when actor Topher Grace departed the show at the end of season 7, that 70s show was left without its central character.

The rest of the cast did try to forge on without him.

However, the subsequent season 8 was just a mess.

A ton of plot lines like Hyde's wife with an adult profession or Jackie and Fez getting together just didn't work.

By the time Eric returned for the finale, the 70s were over.

I think it's time we honor all the brain cells that survived the 70s.

Despite our best efforts, some of those bastards pulled through. 6.

Scrubs When Scrubs debuted on NBC way back in 2001, it felt like the perfect comedic antithesis to the wildly popular medical dramas of the time like Chicago Hope and ER.

On top of the laugh out loud moments on the show, however, were memorable characters and engaging storylines.

By the time the show's eighth season wrapped up, it felt like everything had come to a close.

But then season 9 came along with a mostly new cast of characters in a new location.

Only a few fan favorites were delegated to supporting or cameo roles.

Although it was supposed to feel like a continuation, it essentially felt like a different show.

Part of me hates how familiar this seems.

I hope I can find a way to make this all feel new.

And to be fair, that is what show creator Bill Lawrence intended it as.

But network executives meddled to keep the show under the same name.

While it might have found more success as a spinoff, it definitely didn't succeed as the technically final season of Scrubs.

Heroes This super-powered drama had one of the most pronounced sophomore slumps in all of TV.

Initially, it told a mostly self-contained story of ordinary people with superpowers coming together to save the world in season 1.

But season 2 meandered through several new and often unresolved plot points before ending abruptly due to the writer's strike.

The show never really recovered from the blunders made during season 2 and seemed to flounder for a direction.

As much as we loved villains like Sylar, characters definitely overstayed their welcomes past season 1.

How I Met Your Mother I'm serious, I like this girl.

Although the entirety of the sitcom's final season raised a few eyebrows because it's mostly set over a few days, the show's last episode got them really upset.

After getting to know and come to love the titular mother Tracy at last, fans got their hearts broken.

We see Ted finally meet her before his ever-present narration reveals that she later died of an unspecified illness.

This bad turn was then followed by a reveal that Ted still has feelings for Robin.

Since the show sank a season into tracking her wedding with Barney, it also feels like her time was wasted.

Ruining the entire premise of your show and character development is impressively bad.

Dexter Dexter was once seen as a prestige drama among its contemporaries like Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

There have been plenty of points where this show about a serial killer killer has been said to have gone off the rails.

While its infamous finale was criticized, the proverbial nail in Dexter's coffin came earlier.

The season 6 finale sees Dexter's adopted sister Deborah catch him in the act of slaying the season's villain in a church.

While on her way there to confess her very non-sisterly feelings for him.

She told me you accepted me being a killer.

I feel like if you love me, you'll accept this.

If I love you, if I love you, I went to the church that night that you killed Travis Marshall to tell you that I'm in love with you.

Deb learning the truth was a plot point that could have had a lot of potential.
