Is that the one where Fish has a stroke, Harris gets busted by Internal Affairs for taking kickbacks from pimps, Wojo and Dietrich get sick on bad shrimp, and Yemana dies in a freak elevator accident? I love that episode.
Best TV Series Finale?
- Thread starter Mister Hawkeyes
- Start date
I thought The Office and Big Bang Theory did a good job.
Old school-the last Dick Van Dyke Show was mostly flashbacks from the most popular episodes but you find out Rob has finally finished his book that is referenced though out the 5 years of the series, (Not cancelled-Carl Reiner wanted to go out on top.) Publishers hate the book but boss Allen Brady loves it and is going to make a series out of it with characters based on those you have come to love. So the circle is complete.
Mary Tyler Moore Show is also superb as everyone is fired except for the inept Ted Baxter. Mary gets a speech saying goodbye to her television family just as she is saying goodbye to her office family.

I was just going to say NYPD Blue had a great finale. Made me feel like Sipowicz was continuing on the in the precinct, but as the boss.
I agree on GOT and Dexter, but Seinfeld? A wonderfully funny (but pointless) show that started about a button, ended about a button. I say:
As for my favorites? Breaking Bad, BCS, Friends, Chuck, White Collar were all very well done and satisfying endings.
GOT and How I Met Your Mother, though? People should have to pay for that garbage.
Claire's drive away scene at the end of Six Feet Under was pretty solid.
Forgot about that one. That was a great finale.
I just feel like they tried too hard with the Seinfeld finale. I wished it would have been just a regular episode with maybe a "we're moving on" message. The show about nothing suddenly turned into a show about something. The button call back was a nice touch, but I would have preferred them being in the coffee shop rather than a jail cell.I agree on GOT and Dexter, but Seinfeld?

In my humble opinion the best finales are:
1. Breaking Bad
2. The Sopranos
3. Mad Men
4. Friends
5. The Wire
