The series final. The episode to end the entire show. A good series final are a pretty rare thing. A show may have an edge of your seat season finale but the last episode doesn't always live up to the expectations. See The Sopranos or Dexter. If a final is in two parts then both parts can count as one episode.
Obviously there are going to be spoilers ahead but I'm assuming most of these shows would have ended long ago.
My favourite would probably be The Shield. Seeing Vic Mackey get immunity for all his crimes yet having the ones closest to him being either dead, imprisoned or taken away from him was amazing. All while being reduced from the tough guy leader of a Strike Team to just a nobody in a suit. You know how theres some scenes in TV or film that you'll never forget? Shane killing his family then himself is definitely one of them.
Its not often a series final can leave you with that 'holy crap' sensation but The Shield did just that.
What about yours?

I thought the finale to How I Met Your Mother was good. I like that they attempted a swerve, but the whole thing was a bit too similar to Definitely, Maybe. Still a fantastic show though.

The Gravity Falls one is coming up and I'm probably going to cry like a baby.
I know many people don't like it, but I loved how Sons of Anarchy ended.
Another good one was Futurama.

My favorite was Breaking Bad since I was so immersed in the show from the beginning. Great episode.

Breaking Bad's ending was so well done. Still upset though, it angered me so much.

I think this was asked in a similar thread a year or two back. My answer remains the same. The series finale of M*A*S*H was absolute perfection.

When I saw the name the the thread, I instantly thought of the shield such a great show.
Its still shocking/sad to see what shane did.

Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, Parks and Recreation and Chuck.
On the lame side, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy and How I Met Your Mother.

I'll still count Season 8s finale of Scrubs as the greatest finale we'll ever see... Damn Season 9....

I actually didn't mind Seinfeld's. Chaser's War On Everything's finale was good too.
Spartacus: War Of The Damned was pretty cool, I thought. I'm blanking, but those come to mind right now...

Angel
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Oz
those are probably the best written endings to an hour drama period end of story
I also really liked Family Matters' ending a lot.. best last line ever
Fresh Prince's ending was really solid too

I thought the last season was complete crap, and the finale was a total bust. It seemed like once they knew they weren't renewing that they just rushed the crap out of it. the "mother" was an awful selection. |

I'll still count Season 8s finale of Scrubs as the greatest finale we'll ever see... Damn Season 9.... I refuse to acknowledge that season 9 ever existed. When you see a series finale go so well and then see them try to come back and milk it for more, how could it ever possibly succeed? Before it even airs you just have this sour taste in your mouth of "you should have left it at that". That being said the season 8 finale was one of my favorite TV show endings of all time, I was afraid it was going to be pretty weak but I was thrilled with it. Tugged on every heart string on the way out. AngelBuffy the Vampire Slayer Oz those are probably the best written endings to an hour drama period end of story I thought if it was a season finale for Angel and not the series finale I'd prob agree. I thought that was a weak way to send off such a good series though. Sucks the network canned them during the season and didn't have time to plan a proper series finale. To the original topic, I thought that the Office series finale was pretty good, not perfect but better than expected. Only thing I didn't really like was the last person to talk was Pam. Felt like it should have been Jim, Dwight, or Michael given they felt more like the heart and soul of the show. |
