Favorite Series Finale.
 

I culled from a couple older threads and tried to take a best possible cross section from genres and lists from other sites to get a full poll.

I think "Six Feet Under" will most likely take the prize, but there have to be others that some are more passionate about. i never watched "Will & Grace" but i actually loved the finale and actually teared up.

"Cheers" is my all-time favorite show and for me, the series finale didn’t disappoint. I thought Sam saying “Sorry, we’re closed” and fixing Coach’s pic was just perfect. I did love SFU and cried like a baby, but "Cheers" is the culmination for me.

Probably The Wonder Years or Newhart.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Hmm, out of the ones mentioned my favorite would probably be "Angel". It's been such a long time since I saw the finale of "The Wonder Years" but I remember tearing up.

But in the end, I can rewatch the finale of Angel and still enjoy it. It was pitch perfect!

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

just taped and watched it today for the first time. Loved it. I only watched "Angel" S1, maybe little of 2 and then gave it up. With the thread "something something episodes that got you emotional" i watched some eps. of S5 that have just played on TNT. Loved "You're Welcome" and "Smile Time" . then watched the finale today and loved it.

It was a tough choice between 6FU, Cheers and The Shield. I think all three did a great job wrapping up the series. But 6FU probably did it best.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Smile Time is great. "You're a bloody puppet!"

I'm a fan of the finale, but it divided the audience (not surprisingly).

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I haven't seen hardly any of the other shows, but I doubt anyone has seen everything on the list, so I don't feel so bad for voting.

The Sopranos. It's my favorite show, and I just love the ending. I know there aren't many, but it was gutsy, and perfect.


second would be Six Feet Under. I loved the first season, and didn't regain interest until the end. It was a perfect way to end the series. I just didn't think the series was that special, so it doesn't get my vote.


does Freaks and Geeks count? :)

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Newhart will always be the best, IMO.

The Sopranos finale I am still mad at, as it has turned into a punchline.

Cheers had a cool last minute with Sam, but overall the episode was pretty lame.

I like Seinfeld's finale, but most people I know DETEST it.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

i loved it as well.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I only watched a handful of those shows, but if I had to pick one, it was ST: TNG, slightly edging Cheers.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I think my favourite on that list would be Angel. I absolutely adored the finale and the moments leading up to it. It was stellar and really ended the show with a bang. The resolution was great and the performances were top-notch. And I liked how it set up for the future should they continue in another medium (as they have in the Angel: After The Fall comic book series, for example).

I remember really being sad when The Wonder Years ended and enjoying the finale immensely, but it has been such a long time that I really can't recall it well enough to compare it to ones that I can remember perfectly (Arrested Development, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Seinfeld, etc.)

I'd have to give runner-up for my favourite to Seinfeld. I know a lot of people hated it, but I thought it was fantastic. Great cameos/guest spots, nice to see everyone come together, the trial was hilarious, and the ending was great. Looking forward to the "reunion" starting this Sunday on Curb.

Sopranos

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Six Feet Under.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Loved the M*A*S*H and Cheers finales, but the Six Feet Under final episode was just perfect.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Six Feet Under is my all time favorite, followed very closely by Babylon 5. I'm also fond of the TNG and Brisco County Jr finales.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I'd think Newhart and St. Elsewhere would be the top picks. I'd tap St. Elsewhere since it came first.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Journeyman had a great series finale. It was one of the few short-lived shows that actually got to wrap up nicely.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

TNG just ahead of Cheers.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Dawson's Creek, MASH, and Cheers. Haven't seen most of the others.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

It hasnt aired yet but i am voting for Friday Night Lights.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

The Wonder Years.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I agree the series finale was good for short lived show. The part at the end

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

I, for one, loved the way Quantum Leap ended.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Six Feet Under, Seinfeld, or Cheers. Never really understood why most people seem to hate the Seinfeld finale but I liked it personally. Six Feet Under and Cheers really don't need much explanation they were both just great endings to great shows.

Re: Favorite Series Finale.
 

Six Feet Under's finale was incredible.
