I personally loved the Beavis and Butthead ending. I remember a lot of people being bummed about it, but really... I don't think anyone actually wanted the two to actually die.

Six Feet Under may have had my favorite finale ever. So appropriate and ended everything how it just had to end. Agreed. While I hated it at the time and was very depressed with what I saw, I've come to appreciate it for what it was. It was so appropriate for the show. Really, what else would have been as perfect? I cry every time.

Really, what else would have been as perfect? I cry every time. That's part of what makes it so perfect. I mean, the scenes and episode itself is a work of art, but it just seems appropriate that {Spoiler} on a show that was all about death and how we cope with it, live with it, are surrounded by it every day, we saw how every one of the major characters die. Seriously, how could it have been any more appropriate? That's perfect.

How exactly did Daria End? It depends on if we're talking about the last 'Regular episode' or if we're discussing the movie "Is it college yet?"

Wire, Sonic SatAM, and Seinfeld's. They left me wondering what happened next, but at the same time they were appropriate codas for the series.

How exactly did Daria End? Also I liked how Good Times ended: despite being stuck in the Projects for their whole lives, in the last episode ALL the characters run into a Luck streak within the span of 3 minutes and move out. Fantastic Max: In the last episode they end up getting into some type of Time Warp and it started all over again from the beginning, which is a pretty clever way of explaining why the shows keep looping in syndication. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_It_College_Yet%3F

I'll go with Wonder Years, Seinfeld, Newhart, and MASH. I think that maybe the only finales I've seen.

The M*A*S*H finale is usually the first thing that people think off, didn't 85 percent of the country watch it at the time. I know that it's up there with the highest rated TV show episodes of all time.

Having just finished watching ALL of Blackadder, I gotta agree with this. I teared up, I'll admit it... WHAT?! I'm a girl, damn it.

I always thought that Star Trek The Next Generation had a marvalous ending. Certainly the best of the Trek finales anyway. It's just too bad that the films that followed it weren't nearly as good. Funny you'd say that because I'd count Nemesis as the finale of TNG. Everyone leaving the ship to do other things, {Spoiler}Data getting killed off, it seems more like a finale than the actual finale. And not just the TNG finale, it was the finale of the original Trekverse since everything now is the parallel reality.

Angel and Buffy had great endings Buffy I didn't like as a series finale, Angel on the other hand was phenomenal. It was a perfect ending to the show, the exchange at the end summed up the show perfectly. {Spoiler}Gunn: "You take the 30,000 on the left." Illyria: "You're fading, you'll last 10 minutes at best." Gunn: "Then let's make 'em memorable." Spike: "In terms of a plan?" Angel: "We fight." Spike: "Bit more specific." Angel: "Well, personally, I kind of want to kill the dragon. Let's go to work."
Angel was never going to have that shiny happy ending that Buffy did. Because on Angel it was never "We stopped the world from ending and beat the bad guy, let's party.", with Angel there was always another fight. The tone of Angel, was keep fighting. Don't stop fighting evil, keep going. All the characters had f***ed up massively, and they were never going to balance the scales of what they had done. But to get redemption was to keep fighting till the end. Redemption wasn't something they were going to see, and they made that point clear on Angel. Redemption was to keep fighting till you're dead.

Also Doctor Who. The End of Time was technically the end of NewWho and now we're getting NewNewWho, if that makes sense.

DS9 had a good end and it kinda fit,some of it was bittersweet, others had happy endings and others..welllife went on, like how you got basicly the same sequence that finshed the first episode (IIRC) theres a scene where Quark once again flirts with/lets kira know hes up to something crooked
mind you DS9 had the most well rounded characters of the whole Star Trek thing, they even further fleshed out the Klingons (so much so I'd wanna go to any Klingon medal ceremony, eat and drink all ight and if your still standing, you get your medal ) the Romulans (previously they were just sneaky, but DS9 fleshed out the arrogance that comkes with knowing more than your enemy, also..ITS A FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! ), the Ferengi (ok some of it was cringworthy, but stuff like Nog giving up traditional stuff because he's seen his dad waste his life trying to be rich when he coulda been a starship engineer.. stuff like that ) and of course the Cardassians (Dukats face and heel turns,Damars transition from mere extra to Cardassian legend and of course... Garak need I say more )
