I rewatch Cheers every year and the ending is still so simple without the fluff. It would be chastised today

Well, now y'all have made me put Six Feet Under as my next binge show.

Generally, if you love the show you'll appreciate the finale. I'm in the minority it seems as I thought the Seinfeld finale was good. How else do you end a show about nothing? I honestly have no idea what people were expecting that would have made it better than having all the people they screwed over or ridiculed get their revenge.

Anyway, my vote goes to The Americans for GOAT finale, MASH/CHEERS just for sentimental reasons tied for 2nd. Family Ties was an underrated finale too.

But the finale we never got that would have been an all timer was Hogan's Heroes. Was Mary Tyler Moore the first big series finale?

Star Trek The Next Generation. The last scene when Picard joins the poker table and says 'I should have done this years ago' shows how much he loved his crew. The whole two part episode is peak Star Trek.

I have to add After Life after watching the finale today. Tons of dust in the air earlier.

MASH
Newhart
The last Dallas episode that was a take off of "It's A Wonderful Life" was good. Brought back some old characters that had left
Cheers

Speaking of Newhart, there was an anniversary show of the Bob Newhart Show (the 19th Anniversary Show ha ha) that references the Newhart show. The final scene is greatness
The Elevator

Speaking of.... this every time The Bob Newhart Show was referenced on Newhart

The Americans was very good I thought. And somewhat rare that a final season of a long running series is so good.

After Life


Stole my thunder. Just watched end of After Life last night. It had a near perfect end. Ricky Gervais rarely fails to entertain.

Psych had a great finale. Shawn confessing to Lassie that he’s not really psychic, but Lassie ejecting and destroying the disc before he actually said the words was a fantastic way to wrap up that storyline.

Even though these finales were hated by many. I thought the finales of "Chuck" and Seinfield" suited the shows perfectly.

That’s one I think of often. Show went off the rails the last couple of seasons due to cancellation fears but I enjoyed the finale immensely.

If I remember correctly, they wrote 4 or 5 endings that they had to write themselves out of when the series got picked back up.

I’m also fond of Parks and Rec. It has understandable comparisons to the office, but it ended up with you mostly being happy for every character.

ER was shite for the final years, but the final episode was good.

The final episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show where everyone but Ted gets fired is pretty damn funny.
