TV shows don’t run forever and neither do websites.
After more than two decades, this is the end of the road for TVSeriesFinale.com. The site will remain online as a resource for the time being but there are no plans to update it.
As you know, television has changed a lot over the past couple of decades. The economics of running a television website have also changed. You may have noticed that many news-related sites have struggled and/or closed over the years and this one is no exception.
For this site, it’s mostly come down to a decline in ad revenue and a steep drop of traffic from search engines (thanks AI generated answers). It’s also become more and more difficult to access relevant ratings data. It also hasn’t helped that some corporate sites have made deals to receive (EXCLUSIVE) access to press releases days ahead of independent sites like this one.
I’m certainly not complaining. This site has grown far bigger than I ever could have expected (57,000 posts!) when I started it in 2005. At one point, it drew more traffic than Toyota’s site. However, now that the 2025-26 TV season has come to a close, it feels like the right time to wrap things up.
Just one or two people have been running this website for almost all of its run. I want to publicly thank Regina Avalos for her daily devotion for the past 11 years. Her hard work has been essential in keeping the site going and it has been very much appreciated.
Whether you are a newer reader or one who’s been along for the ride for decades, thanks for visiting.
It’s been a great run.

Oh no! I’m sorry to see you guys go. I’ve enjoyed coming to this site for years. I’m going to miss it! Thank you so much for everything you all have done with this site.
On a side note: I wish people would stop encouraging/using AI answers, they’re stealing from sites like this (and many others).
I’ve been reeling and mourning ever since I read the news yesterday.
I can’t thank you enough for the service all these years. I found you around 10 years ago, and had you pinned on my browser. I looked at your website every day of my life.
You will be dearly missed!
Agreed!
That sucks. This is one of the best sites to find things and follow. It’s simply organized. User friendly. Gonna miss you all.
For years (and from my home country, France!), I’ve logged on every day to get the latest news. It’s the end of a wonderful journey—turning the page. It sounds silly, but I feel like I’m losing a friend. Thanks for everything!
Noooooo. It was my only sourse of information about series, since one of the other sites closed many years ago. FFS.
I’ve come to rely on this website and I hate to see it go. I’m thankful for all your hard work in delivering accurate information and fun facts over the years. I do wish you and yours a bright future wherever you go from here. God bless.
This is heartbreaking! I have basically grown up with this website so it really is the end of an era. So much nostalgia.
Thanks for all the memories.
Thank you for everything you did over the years. I will sure miss the quality of the TV news here. All the best for what comes next to you.
Cheerio, its been a blast, thank you for all you have informed me over the years. Embrace the future
thank you I will miss you I looked forward to this every night!
Thank you very much for the wonderful service! I wish y’all the best with wherever the future takes you.
This is a real shame! It’s the first site that I have looked forward to every morning, just checking on different box sets and programs that I watch. Thank you for all of your hard work, AI is taking over everything and it’s scary, don’t like it and I’m all up for technology but not something that is going to rule your life.
Oh this is really unfortunate. It was the primary source of data I used to help train my AI-driven renewal/cancellation prediction engine after TV By The Numbers disappeared. It was especially helpful to find all of the data going several years back to improve the quality of my models, but it seems like the decline in linear TV was leading to an inevitable end to my project as well. I’ll look around to see if there are any other sources of this data, but I feel like this may be the end of my project as well now 🙁
Nooooooooooo
I spend my day rotating between 6 websites. Now it’s down to 5.
