May 17, 200520 yr So I watched the Everybody Loves Raymond series finale. It sucked, as most finales do. But the show was great and I still enjoy watching the reruns. Anyways, it got me thinking as to which finales were actually good. The only one I can think of that I really enjoyed was MASH. I was also trying to remember how Cheers ended... Anybody else have any?
May 17, 200520 yr Cheers ended with Sam turning out the light of the bar. And I think Rebecca got married to a plumber its been a long time since I have seen that show

May 17, 200520 yr The Robin Ventura walk off grand slam off of Goose Gossage is my favorite series ending.
May 17, 200520 yr IMO, Newhart had the best ending (when Bob woke up in his bed back in Chicago, on the set of his former series... his job as an inkeeper in Vermont had all been a dream). That was genius.
May 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 16, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) Raymond's my favorite finale...I'm glad it's over. I didn't like this show.... Me neither. I can't stand the way that he lets his wife and mother walk all over him.

That was genius. Absolutely...this was the Best. Finale. Ever. And, the more I watch the Seinfeld finale, the more I like it. It was a disappointment at the time, but it really showed how shallow and uncaring they were.
May 17, 200520 yr Of the season finales that I've seen: Seinfield sucked. Rosanne sucked. Married With Children sucked. Home Improvement was ok but they were missing one kid. From what I heard, the actor (Jonathon Taylor Thomas?) didn't come back for the show... Wonder Years was awesome. One of the best series finales I've ever seen. Cheers I never really watched but it seemed like a pretty good finale.
May 17, 200520 yr Wonder Years was probably one of the best. I haven't seen MASH's but I hear good things. Family Matters was ok where it was between Steve and Stefan. Full House's sucked. Raymond's sucked. Seinfeld's sucked.

May 17, 200520 yr I preferred the Good Times series finale. They finally got out the ghetto! And the All in the Family series finale, which was really the season premiere of season 2 of Archie Bunker's Place.
May 17, 200520 yr Goodbye, Farewell, Amen -- MASH Not their best episode, but they tried to make it a real episode, not a faked out, hug in. Carson's last Tonight Show was pretty awesome. And finally, while not a tv show, it was taped and shown on tv "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and I have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure I'm lucky. Who wouldn't have considered it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrows? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat and vice versa, sends you a gift, that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeeper and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies, that's something. When you have a father and mother work all their lives so that you can have an education and build your body, it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed, that's the finest I know. I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. And I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for." - July 4, 1939 at Yankee Stadium on Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day

Oh geez, I thought I was the only one who used to love Quantum Leap. I remember that finale was rushed cuz it was suppose to go on with Sam leaping but not into other people's lives. Just leaping around time as himself, but NBC pulled the plug and we got the ending we got.

It was a pretty good show but I stopped watching it towards the end. I have this bad habit of missing season finales. I just saw the Rosanne one a couple of weeks ago...
