Not to spoil anything but Tim Riggins standing on that sprawling landscape and then the last scene with Coach was absolutely perfect.

This was a good one. Six Feet Under is better IMO but Parenthood wrapped up nicely without being too obvious and perfect.

I liked the way that The Office ended too. Michael showing up at the end was very heartwarming.

Newhart was brilliant but at the time, I was too young to understand why.

I hated the endings to Lost and Seinfeld. It ruined both series for me. And I found the ending to Friends to be boring--not bad, I just expected more.

No one has mentioned the one that I think is the best of all time- The Americans. Even though I’d been hoping for things to end a certain way for them, what the writers did with the characters was fairly realistic. There were some heart wrenching moments, but things ended for the main characters in probably the best way they could have.

I still think about the mom looking out the train window and the anguish she feels as the train accelerates out of the station, realizing that her daughter has gotten off the train and that she will probably never see her again.

Six Feet Under will always win this category. Always. The show itself was ok - some really great storylines, others not so much, but the finale is SUCH perfection that it makes it worth watching just for that final episode. And I’m not even worried about overselling it. Also, this is what the series is remembered for more than a decade on, and without that finale, it probably would be forgotten as a decent show of a certain era. So kudos to the show runners for pulling it off.

I love that finale!
