Similar to my "Is it a sport?" poll, this poll simply presented people with a list of what I considered "major" semi-recent to recent TV shows that ran roughly at least 3 seasons and asked people to rate their satisfaction level in regards to how the show ended. The scale was from 0 to 10, with 0 representing "hated it" and "completely ruined the show as a whole" and 10 representing "loved it" and "made complete sense within the tone of the show."
I did make an important specification that this wasn't to be about how much you enjoyed the show or even really how much you enjoyed the finale itself, but rather how much you felt like the show's ending "fit" or didn't.
Here are the results:

2 notes about this one:
- Obviously this partially suffered from inconsistent and sometimes very low numbers of responses, seeing as people didn't have to vote on every show (obviously that wouldn't make any sense) but rather just the ones they watched most or all of. For example, The Shield's 13 responders' average rating of ~9.5 probably doesn't speak as strongly as Breaking Bad's 271 responders averaging a similar rating.
- This poll was much harder than others to create a nearly exhaustive list of "major" shows, so I'm sure I left out several contenders.
