I actually liked the final Seinfeld, but it's still a little too melancholy knowing that the party is coming to an end.
havent gotten to that series yet but its in the queue....
..another disappoinment: sopranos
No one KNEW this was going to be the end, but with a episode this drastically different, you just knew the program would die or grow. The Monkees wanted to do another season of episodes just like it; NBC wanted them to return to their old sitcom formula; no consensus was reached and the network pulled the plug. But it was a hell of a way to go out.
Kidding. Too soon?
Are you saying this was a good one? I don't remember what came before it, but the final montage was so bad that my girl and I were laughing through it.
I remember the series finale of Twin Peaks being pretty damn nutty in a good way.

And if memory serves, the finale to NYPD Blue was OK. Yup, I was watching that shit right up to the end.
I was into the Sopranos finale. Seinfeld too, mostly.
6FU was a solid ep w/ a horrible coda.
Lost finale should be trainwreck quality.
...and the final scene was parodied on the final scene of the final episode of Everybody Hates Chris
The Wonder Years[/b]
I didn't watch every episode of The Sopranos[/b], but did watch isolated seasons. I liked the series finale because it ended exactly like the music video.
Wonder Years, on the other hand, was good. Apparently the cast didn't know it was the final episode.
Six Feet Under montage was as lazy as Sopranos, but fit into the theme of the show, i.e., death, so at least it was fitting.
I'm ambivalent to Seinfeld's ending. It was just on today, so I can say that with confidence.
Cosby Show was good and classy.
I liked the Sopranos ending after watching it the second time. The more I marinated about it, the more I liked it.
Speaking of Phantom Menacing, Detox is not going to be as good as people expect. There will be a hot single or two but I am sure the word "disappointment" will show up in a lot of reviews.
Please expand. I kinda lost interest when they did the "Vietnam-fallout" episodes but Magnumpi had the realest title sequence.
Blakes Seven was
M.A.S.H.
Major
Having come across this on saturday tv when I was still a youngster I was gripped week in week out and, in these pre internet days, had no idea that the "resolution" wasn't going to be straightforward. Blew my mind somewhat.
Would also cosine the TP ending, pretty much made up for the ten plus terrible episodes before it.
Anyone need all 17 eps on 9 kosher videos (not DVD), NM with sleeves?
Holla
KIND OF SPOILER
As I recall it's split across the two final episodes and the first half is relatively straightforward as No 6 has a long confrontation with No 2 over why he resigned. No 2 has some kind of breakdown and No 6 triumphs and demands to see No 1. I think that's where the first one ends.
The second episode continues this story and that's where my young mind started getting irreversibly damaged. All I really recall is that he meets some kind of council in masks and demands to go home then there's some weird shit with a rocket of some kind? Then, the Pi?ce de r?sistance , No 6 pulls off one of the masks and there's a fucking chimp face behind it. At this point I probably accepted I would do drugs when I grew up. But we've not stopped there, no way, he pulls off the chimp mask and is confronted by his own head laughing manically.
After that I think he wangles a deal to go home but there's a reveal at the end that suggests that he's actually still in the village (I think it's to do with the door to his flat).
To be honest, I was mentally scarred from the whole face reveal part and the rest kind of blurred into a haze of nightmarish images.
Damn it's too early in the day for me to be revisiting this kind of thing.
Find a happy place.....find a happy place....
All it needed was a few record shops and a happening bar.
