this is not the worst finales, it's the finales that had the worst ratings vs series average. if anything this is about series that fell off near the end. there are many shows that were popular near the end, so people tuned in to the finale (which would mean a high rating) and hated the finale anyway. Seinfeld is the most popular example, even though i don't really agree with the consensus myself.

Also, doesn't a show that was consistently bad have a bad finale? The finale could even be a high point of the otherwise bad show and still be worse than any of the ones on the list.

exactly... definitely an interesting list; i just think it doesn't reflect what the title says.
