Show Enders

[DrummerDeanna]

So I was watching the very last episode (movie) of one of my favorite tv series and I got to thinking about show enders.

What are some of your favorites? Which ones disapointed you etc...

I was watching the Little House on the Prairie ender I love it - it's so dramatic - I mean they BLOW UP the entire town...andI guess I love the little trivia fact that they did actually blow up the sets of the town - so what you see is what you get...

I thought the Friends finale was good...it tied things up nicely for me.

Golden Girls! Love that one - and I was thrilled that out of all the girls Dorothy was the one who gets married and goes away...love it.

Disapointing...Seinfeld. I remember all the hype and being so excited to see it - only to be let down...not sure what I was expecting - but that wasn't it.

I really haven't followed many shows until the finale, truthfully.

But of the ones I have, I was SOOOOO dissapointed with both Star Trek: Voyager and Xena. Both finales left HUGE, GAPING HOLES that were never filled in.

I don't like endings that are total cop outs... ie, Dallas and Newhart. Seriously, all a dream? Kiss my ass! I just think that's lazy.

I'm so-so on the X-Files ending. The ep started out okay, but overall, nothing was answered. And it doesn't look like there's going to be a movie.

Loved the GG ending, too. The way Dorothy kept coming back?! The Wonder Years ending was just okay. It was sweet, but I can't believe they made the dad die.

hmm. i liked golden girls and mary tyler moore.

disappointing:

-designing women
-ellen
-seinfeld
-x files
-roseanne

that's all i can think of right now ...

The ending to Six Feet Under was classic.

ugh..the Roseanne ending and actually most of the last season was annoying.

Ooh - I just remember the Family Ties ender..LOVED that...though I actually don't remember too much about it - I just remember crying when they brought out the cast...I remember really enjoying that one.

you're right, the whole last season did suck.

i like any finale that makes me cry instead of going "seriously? wtf."

I actually don't remember too many as I don't really commit to tv shows anymore.
yeah... break out the psych theroies now!

I wasn't really into Friends at the time but did watch the finale.... I'm more into it in repeats. Same with Seinfeld but do recall how incredibly lame that finale was. ewwww....

Most recently for me was "Will & Grace".... it was pretty good, especially considering that the last few seasons were beyond lame.
That show used to be hilarious.

I remember watching the MASH finale when it originally aired.

MASH!! How could I forget about it? That show was the bane of my existance for awhile. That was a good finale. Can't forget the Hawkeye/Margaret farewell...

it was completely retarded ... very disappointing without delta burke or jean smart. they had to save this big old historic house from being completely ruined by their client, kiki. in the meantime, they all had fantasies about being scarlett from gone wtih the wind. the only funny one was bernice's, because her rhett was anthony.

Yeah, that sounds pretty lame. I quit watching that show after they implemented a revolving door of actresses to replace Delta Burke and Jean Smart. Suzanne Sugarbaker MADE that show, without her, meh, who cares?

Totally agree. That was one of those shows where the original cast had almost too much chemistry that could not be reproduced.
The political rantings on Designing Women got overbearing and incredibly unenertaining. I think they call that professional suicide????

It was also one of those shows that should have been taken out of it's misery at least a couple of seasons earlier..... ie, Will & Grace, Roseanne, Seinfeld, Cheers, Cosby, etc., etc.
