Best TV Series Finales Ever

[XAsstCoach]

Didn't like Cheers or Seinfeld too much....Cheers Sam Malone became too philosophical. Seemed out of character. Seinfeld, though it was fun to see all the characters again it just wasn't all too exciting.

MASH was good. Newhart's was funny...its finale was the only episode I ever saw of Newhart.
As was the 2000 series of Battlestar Galactica.

Wings had a good finale too. NewsRadio could have lasted longer if it wasn't for the untimely death of Phil Hartman. Its finale was decent enough.

Babylon 5 was an interesting case as far as finales go. It was intended that the fifth season would be the last one, but they lost their network contract after four seasons, so they tried to wrap up the story for the end of the fourth season. Then a different network picked them up for the fifth season, so they pushed the series finale off for a year and came up with a sort of mini-finale for the end of the fourth year.

That kind of confused things, because the flow of the show was disrupted quite a bit.
