Decades after the (original) end of Dallas, fans are still upset the CBS primetime soap ended the way it did. “Worst series finale ever, [in my opinion],” one Reddit user wrote last September. “An insult to the intelligence of the audience. Having said that, it was Dallas in name only at that point.”

Another viewer said, “One of the worst series finales I have ever watched. I’m still not over how ridiculous it was.”
