ENT didn't have a series finale. It had a bowel movement.

110% in agreement hear
, I was ROFLMFAO.
Totally agree about Newhart....priceless.
And as much of a DS9er as I am. TNG's final was amazing

The huge problem I had with the DS9 finale was just how anti-climactic and lame it was. Sisko's huge religious destiny was to... *drum roll* toss a book into a fire! Ooo! Not to mention almost every second of the climactic space battle was stock footage. I remember my very first post here was a criticism of the DS9 finale and my counter-idea that the final battle took place at DS9 with the Dominion allying with the Pagh Wraiths to kill the Prophets or something like that. And did we really need yet ANOTHER five minutes of Vic Fontaine singing? Jesus.
To me, it summed up everything I dislike about Whedon. He hates human characters and only likes those with powers. So naturally, instead of it being longtime characters Wes, Angel, and Gunn making the last stand it's also rans Spike(who Angel fans resented) and brand new character Illyira( Fred, who was given The Willow treatment and turned into a completely new character. Because again, Whedon hates normal people because he can't relate to them.) who stand with Angel. The always prepared Wes goes out with a wimper, as does Gunn. And it ends on a depressing cliffhanger without any sense closure. The Soprono's ending was better then Angel's imo.

Wonder Years - That monologue at the end of the ep was just incredible. Loved how it touched on all the main characters and what happened to them
Newhart - Totally novel idea. Fun way to make light of the fact that he'd had two long running hit shows within something like 15 years.
TNG - I just love the bookend feeling of it.
MASH - 25 years later and it's still one of the best eps I've ever watched of any show. Throwing in that last goodbye written in rocks there at the end as the helicopter leaves just brings tears to the eye.

I'm mighty fussy about my endings.
TNG: Perfect way to end the series. Let nothing horrid happen and they're sailing off to further adventures. I don't count the lousy (minus First Contact, which was nominal) movies.
Six Feet Under. Absolute best finale of a series I've ever seen. Grand Slam.
Quantum Leap. Even though it was kind of sad, it was perfect.
I don't count M*A*S*H* For years, I watched that show devotedly. So here comes the end, it's time to go home and what the fuck do they do? Have Hawkeye go kind of bonkers. BULLSHIT! GYP!

Completely agreed. The only series finale that made me weep like a blubbering little girl. Well, except for Enterprise, but those were tears of rage.

Mary Tyler Moore. Now there's a blast from the past. Didn't they all get fired from WJM but Ted got to stay?
MASH and Cheers are near the top of the list for me, although I still think that Diane and Sam should've gotten married at the end. I liked the finale for Alias, but I know a lot of other people didn't. I also enjoyed that, in the last MST3K episode, Mike and the Bots were still watching movies together after the SOL crashed to earth. The Newhart finale is the most memorable, however, especially since the ending never leaked out. There was a vague rumor that Bob would die in the episode, but nobody was expecting the real twist.
I really admire the finales of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Newhart, Arrested Development, TNG, and Angel, but I'm another person who thinks the Six Feet Under finale is in a league of its own.
Oh forgot ... I knew there was one niggling away at the back of the head. Technically it may not be called a finale but none have been made since and the ending didn't lend it to such either - though ways around granted.
But the comedy Blackadder Goes Forth ... when they blow the whistles and go over the top. After absolutely hilarious episodes and adventures and classic lines it ended with the most poignant and down beat and fitting ending ever.
But also again vote for Six Feet Under
