When is the last time the finale of a television series
generated as much buzz as Breaking Bad? The biggest ones I can remember are
M*A*S*H, Cheers and Seinfeld. I guess Friends is close to making that list.
Newhart had one of the great finales of all time, but I don't remember a lot of
hype beforehand, just afterward when the brilliant ending was revealed. I a
probably missing some shows that were popular and had big finales that I just
didn't watch. Other big ones I am missing?

So far some of the other suggestions have been The Sopranos, Star Trek: The Next Generation and ER. Someone suggested the Wonder Years, but I don't remember much hype at the time (it was obviously a show that meant a lot to her at the time). ER and The Sopranos are two of those shows that I never got watched but would qualify as big finales. Lost also fits that category.
So, what big finales do you remember...did they live up to the hype?
The Fugitive.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned all the ones that initially came to mind. Loved the Bob Newhart finale!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I forgot about The Fugitive until SER mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't watch the end of series. I don't remember any others.
I would have to say Newhart. It was a brilliant ending.
ReplyDeleteThe Fugitive, with David Jannsen.
ReplyDeleteOOP'S, I didn't see SER'S entry. 24 was terribly exciting, also. I still will stick with The Fugitive.
ReplyDeleteI loved the series finale for M*A*S*H.
