Best Sitcom Finale of all time?
Just thought i'd post a little poll since this seems to be a water cooler topic today in the wake of ushering in the post-friends era....If you choose Other, tell which one and why....
|
I voted MASH.
|
Newhart, followed by Mary Tyler Moore and MASH.
Did Taxi even have a real finale. Wasn't it abrutly cancelled? |
I voted for Newhart. :up: Another finale I liked was Roseanne. It's certainly one of the strangest, but I thought it worked, and it almost made up for the last season.
Almost. ;) Rob |
I didn't watch most of those shows, but of the few I did see, the Cheers one really choked me up the most. I'd say that one.

Can we have a recap of some of them.
I stopped watching Rosanne about the last season, so I'm not sure exactly what happened. Spoiler:
And for the life of me, I cannot recall what the Night Court finale was. I watched that show every week. I guess that shows how memorable the ending was. |
Have to go with Newhart. Nice idea tying his 2 shows together.

I can't believe how far Night Court fell in its last few seasons. The whole Phil Foundation, Dan as the Phantom of the Courthouse, Christine being pregnant, Harry adopting the kid... *shudder* |
<i>Newhart</i>, because the episode itself was hilarious without the twist, and then the twist was absolutely brilliant. I would probably take <i>MTM</i> and <i>M*A*S*H</i> tied for second (hard to compare the kleenex move against the rock message), with <i>Cheers</i> very close behind.

Here's what happened in the Night Court finale. Ugh, how horrible...
Spoiler:
|
definately Newhart....I didn't really watch either of the newhart shows all that much, but that ending was fantastic
|
no love for St. Elsewhere..?
|
While it's probably obvious which show you mean, you may want to edit the poll to reflect that it was called <i>Newhart</i> to avoid confusion with <i>The Bob Newhart Show</i>.

I'd have to go with Newhart as well.

One thing that should be pointed out is that of all the finales, listed MASH was unique in that it played like the finale of a drama, rather than that of a sitcom.

Out of the ones I've seen (Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers) I'll say Cheers was the one I liked the best.

Originally posted by das Monkey Hilarious show. Best sitcom ever. :D Originally posted by das Monkey Of course, <i>M*A*S*H</i> was never a typical sitcom anyway, frequently straying into drama territory. actually, I didn't really process the thread title until it was too late... |
I vote for mash because what other sitcom had 2 1/2 hours for the finale. BTW did anyone see the Taxi finale? If so how did that end?
