You always hear people talking about the bombs.

HIMYM, Dexter, Lost, Seinfeld... The list goes on and on. While every finale has people who loved it, many seem to be very polarizing (whether it be for ridiculous expectations or terrible writing). For me, it is difficult to start a series when people tell me I will hate the end.

What are some series that had great finales well received by all of their viewers?

Breaking Bad, obviously.

No one was going to like the Seinfeld finale.

I think they should have just done a regular show, but I don't hate that finale.

I really liked how The Office ended.

I enjoyed the endings to Chuck, Burn Notice, and Fringe.

ETA: I enjoyed the grand recap style of the Seinfeld finale. It was a fine way to end such a great show.

Saw these two in syndication so I am not sure what the finales were, but I enjoyed the shows.

ETA: Looked up the finales for ELR and KoQ, I saw both and both were good.

Everybody loves Raymond is on Netflix. Not sure of a legal way to watch KoQ without buying it.

Totally agree. I didn't have a problem with it personally.

Scrubs Season 8 finale is the end of that show for me. I don't count the Med School season 9.

But yea...Season 8 finale is just about as good as it can get

If that's a question, the answer is no.

MASH should be mentioned, as it set the ratings record which wasn't broken until the Saints won the Super Bowl.

The Seinfeld finale was not great, but the episodes leading up to it were hilarious.

Star Trek, TNG was solid. Quantum Leap was pretty good too.

Man, I think the Seinfeld finale is the single worst finale in TV history. it is a total betrayal of the ethos of the show (no special episodes, no lessons) and is essentially a clip show.

The best? Six Feet Under is the gold standard. The Wire, Cheers, the Cosby Show, and Newhart were all top notch. Homicide almost redeemed it's 7th season with a great finale. Though controversial, I love the Battlestar Galactica finale (minus the epilogue).

Friday Night Lights was pretty satisfying, imo.

Eta, i loved six feet under and the wires finale. Id also add the west wing as well.
