ST. Elsewhere was highly memorable. Still remember it to this day.

Like millions of others I was aghast at the conclusion of the Sopranos. I think that was a brilliant “wrap up/cliffhanger” that still gets discussed today.

The ending of Endeavour last weekend was pretty well done. I also really liked the ending of Better Call Saul.

….it’s been a while but I remember loving the final episode of Northern Lights…..and the outro music which was Iris Dement singing Our Town

It's not well known in the US, but an old Britcom - Blackadder, starring Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) and Hugh Laurie (Dr House). The final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, set in the WWI trenches is, I believe, one of the most stunning moments in TV history. And it's a comedy to boot. Brilliant.

1-Newhart, 2-Breaking Bad

Oddly, I hated the Sopranos ending at the time but I think it has grown on me.

Well there is this take on endings, oh wait what was the question ?

Newhart and MASH were probably my two favorite series ending. Seinfeld gets my vote for most disappointing.

BTW this show was also a huge step into the buis for many future stars including Denzel Washington, David Morse, Howie Mandel, Ed Begley Jr, William Daniels, Bruce Greenwood, Mark Harmon and others...

check your PMs re: the Robert Cray

Final episode of "House" was great. House and Wilson riding off into the sunset.

Newhart was the most surprising. Loved it!

I agree with most of the opinions. I'm surprised that Seinfeld wasn't mentioned as one of the worst.

Lots of people were disappointed in the Seinfeld finale (its been 25 years!!) For fans of the show, what would have been a better story to end on?

I still watch the re-runs and its a special treat when you come across an episode that you haven't seen before.

Breaking bad.
Sons of Anarchy

Not sure how many watched Longmire, but I was hoping and happy the way it ended.

I would have agreed after seeing the Seinfeld finale the first time, and the disappointing ending was played up in Curb Your Enthusiasm, a Seinfeld spinoff which primarily featured Larry David with appearances by Michael Richards (Kramer), Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine), Jason Alexander (George) and off course Jerry. The more I've watched the final two episodes, the more I think that it was a terrific ending. It featured all those great characters from past episodes and left the door open to a continuation of the series after they'd served their sentences. It was also clever that Jackie Chiles and Sydra (Terry Hatcher) became an item...
