Any TV shows that had good series finale? - Blu-ray Forum

MrHT · 01-27-2014, 05:01 PM

So many good shows have come and gone, but have either had a poor finale or an open-ended finale, such as: The Sopranos, Friends, Deadwood, Lost, Battlestar: Galactica, etc.

So, my question is... do any of you know of any show out there that had a very good series finale with nice closure? Because I, personally, can't think of any...

For the record I think the finale of The Sopranos is incredible. Breaking Bad and M*A*S*H are two that immediately come to mind.

Really? There's no closure.

Breaking Bad is the best ever produced by far.

Many people also cite Six Feet Under as one of the best.

Six Feet Under was the best I've ever seen when it comes to series finales. Followed by Breaking Bad.

These two big time. The Scrubs series finale is my favorite of all time. Just perfect.

EricJ · 01-27-2014, 09:24 PM

While we might not have cared by that point, Moonlighting's finale was perfectly cathartic for the fans:
After the entire jumped-shark third season where Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd sat out the episodes, Dave & Maddie come back from their mystery to find stagehands taking down the office set, as ABC execs have just canceled their series--The Curtis Armstrong sidekick tells him, "You two spent so much time complaining about your relationship, you drove the viewers away!", and Willis & Shepherd/Dave & Maddie leave in separate cars.

(And always thought Happy Days ended with the summer-home-movie episode, but turned out it went for another two seasons.

)

Not sure why people are listing LOST. That show is a excellent example of a good show with a very bad finale.

I, personally, had no issue with the FRIENDS and BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA finales, but apparently, they both got a very poor overall reception from fans. I honestly don't see how they could've ended both shows any better.

In your opinion. I thought it was a fantastic finale.

I'm not asking for one person's opinion. I want people to base it off the reaction of majority of fans. Like I said, I, personally, thought FRIENDS and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA had fantastic finales. But the fact of the matter is.... most fans hated it!

I want a list of shows where majority of fans reacted positively to the finale.

Pardon me if my question was not clear.

RicketyCricket · 01-30-2014, 05:02 PM

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was pretty fantastic.

johnstrk · 01-30-2014, 05:08 PM

The Spartacus: War of the Damned finale was the best series finale I've ever seen!
