Oh, snap!

This is about TV series not movies, but yeah it's more likely for a movie ending to ruin a movie since you're talking about a solid and important chunk of a 2 hour or whatever film as opposed to a show that's been on and beloved for years before it ended.
You don't really seem like much of a modern sitcom guy anyway, are there any you watch and like?
I'm guessing Louie
Is Louie really a sitcom though?
Believe it counts
Doh! I misread the title. >.>
My bad
On topic now: I believe a series finale can in fact salvage a few bad seasons. There's a french canadian sitcom called Radio Enfer. The first two seasons were great, but then the best actor/character leaves before Season 3, and the series never recovered. Though S3 was solid, Seasons 4-6 were mediocre. The final episode overal was awful , but the final scene was so perfect it almost redeemed the low qualty of the later seasons by itself.

So what you're saying is it's just like Sliders

It's been stated, but it's the easiest way to respond..
The way How I Met Your Mother ended totally wrecks the big picture of the show for me. That is, my overall perception of it. I still enjoy individual episodes for the humor and wit but the legacy is forever tarnished. For a show (specifically a sitcom) to put so much emphasis on one storyline that they build the ENTIRE series around, and then ultimately deliver that kind of disappointing climax... I can never really look at it the same way.

Pretty much. Andromeda also suffered a similar fate.
I dont think it can detrimentally effect a whole series. It depends on if the ending fits YOUR requirements rather than what the producers/showrunners thought was the right way to go.
For example: People slated the Dexter finale but i was happy with how it ended. Not happy with the execution but the ending was fine.
