(Un)Happy Endings
The best and worst of TV series finales
By Jay Bobbin and Kate O'Hare, Zap2it
"Will & Grace." "The West Wing." "Alias." "7th Heaven." (Sarah Thompson) "That '70s Show." "Charmed." "Malcolm in the Middle."
All these series will end their long runs over the next few weeks, with fans hoping for impactful, memorable finales. That, however, doesn't always turn out to be the case.
Thus, here are our nominees for the best and worst series finales in television history to date (listed by category and alphabetically).
The Best:
"Cheers" (1993)
"The Fugitive" (1967)
"M*A*S*H" (1983)
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1977)
"The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1992)
The Worst:
"Angel" (2004):
This wasn't as rough as it could have been, since executive producer Joss Whedon got ample warning from the network that the end was nigh. Still, it wasn't the happy ending some fans may have wanted. Vampire-with-a-soul Angel (David Boreanaz) and his demon-fighting team went down swinging against supernatural foes, but at the cost of some of their lives. Maybe all of their lives, in fact, since we never saw the end of the fight.
"Quantum Leap" (1993)
"St. Elsewhere" (1988)
"Seinfeld" (1998)
"The X-Files" (2002)
Thanks a lot JB for making aware of this article!
