We all hate it when our favorite series ends, but, if they do it right, the final episode, or even final moments, are almost worth it.
Here's my list:
#1 Mystery Science Theater 3000
I can't think of a more perfect and fitting ending to a series in the history of television. They finally return to Earth and we leave with a shot of Mike and the Bots watching bad movies on a Saturday afternoon in Mike's apartment, making cracks.
#2 Quantum Leap
The series itself was hit-and-miss for me, but the finale was pure gold. The moments of philosophy mixed with humor and just craziness and, most importantly, they never defined exactly what was going on. For all the hoping for Sam to get back home, he ends up convinced that he needs to keep leaping.
#3 Star Trek TNG
It was wacky, crazy adventures with Q and it wrapped the series up into a package pretty well. Q's line about the trial never ending and the craziness that Picard could really only trust and rely on the crew he was currently with, about how much they've become a family. The best part is that they ended the series without ending their adventures together (they didn't split up, nobody died, etc.).
Honorable Mention #1 - Futurama ("Devil's Hands are an Idle Plaything")
As much as I love Futurama, this was a perfect ending to the series. I can only hope that, when the time comes, Futurama goes out on just as high a note.
Honorable Mention #2 - Newhart
I've never seen either series the finale is based off of, but I loved the unique idea.
So, what are yours? (Note, it's not necessarily BEST, just which ones did you enjoy most?)
