Any TV shows that had good series finale?

[GrouchoFan]

The Odd Couple
The Mary Tyler Moore Show

[Hucksta G]

Six Feet Under
The Wire
The Sopranos
Battlestar Galactica

all excellent 10/10 finales from me.

The Shield was pretty good, too

[cuzzin]

The Shield remains my top choice for best series finale ever. I loved Six Feet Under 's ending, and Breaking Bad 's finale was great, but I've decided Shield 's ending was still better. You really can't go wrong with that show.

MASH

Dallas

3rd Rock From The Sun

Sex & The City

Babylon 5

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

Pardon me if my question was not clear.

Since no one else seems to be answering this specific question -

"All Good Things...", the series finale for Star Trek: The Next Generation, is universally acclaimed.

I usually end up being disappointed with finales but I thought Nikita's was absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for anything more (except maybe a few more seasons).

No one is answering that question because we can't speak for everyone. He can google if he wants mass opinon articles that encompass the entire fanbase of a show.

I forgot about The Shield as someone mentioned. I'm rewatching that series now and that is a great ending.

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.

What was wrong with the Lost finale, in the spirit of hearty discussion?

Google is also your place for "mass opinion".

The people on this forum make up .0000000000001% of the worlds population, so you're looking in the wrong place for mass opinion.

True, but I still stand by my assertion that the vast majority of Star Trek fans liked/loved "All Good Things..."

NIKITA
Breaking Bad
Fringe

I'm not sure what metric we're using to weigh how successful a finale is in general. There's loads if internet whiners for everything, it's not really a proper metric. For all we know the majority of people loved how Lost ended, but a loud minority makes it out to be horrible.

Anyway, in an attempt to comply...

Star Trek: The Next Generation's "All Good Things..." is pretty loved, in my experience. It's a shame those characters got much worse endings in the "Nemesis" movie.

Similarly I have never really heard anyone who liked DS9 complain about its suitably epic finale.

The last few seasons of ER were pretty terrible but they did a good job on the ending, I think most people agree. Greene's daughter and Carter both returning to the hospital. The final pan out to show the building for the first time in 15 years.

The king of all finales is probably Six Feet Under's. Talk about ending at your peak, and doing it in style.

I firmly believe the majority of people who loved Sopranos for what it was loved the ending. People who kept watching that show hoping for more mafia action hated it.

Law & Order had an unintentionally great finale with the whole cast meeting in a bar to toast to the future.

X-Files had a HORRIBLE ending but I think most fans agree the previous season's finale was a great ending to the series if you ignore season 9.

And cut the good endings they DID get in the movie, for Deleted Scenes.

What some critics would say is probably one of the best endings to any tv show: Newhart Show

[PaulDHolloway]

Six Feet Under
Great way to end the series

Breaking Bad
I thought the show built up to a powerful end.

[Show spoiler]I felt bad for Walter White in the end everyone hated him

Boy Meets World
Grew up with the show. Glad it ended with everyone saying goodbye to Feeny last

Lost
I for one loved the ending. I didn't care that minor stuff about the island got resolved. I care more about the happiness with the character and in a weird way, eventually all the characters got a happy ending.

Roswell
Even though its one of my favorite shows and one I was a fan of when it was on the air. I was just glad they didn't leave us hanging and tried their best to close all important loose ends.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Had a great ending

Angel
Kind of left you on a cliffhanger but on a good note

24
Even though the ending was similar to one of their previous seasons. Season 4 I think? I think it did a great job. I wish that Tony appeared in Season 8. I can't wait for the reboot. I hope they bring other members from the series that are alive like Kim and Tony.
