M*A*S*H
The crazy docs of the 4077th ended their 11-year run with the now-iconic "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen." The two-and-a-half hour extravaganza saw many teary goodbyes (plus one huge one made of stones) as Hawkeye, BJ, and Hot Lips all headed back to their lives stateside. The fact that the finale remains the most-watched episode in TV history pretty much says it all.
Six Feet Under
After opening every episode for five seasons with a death, this HBO drama began its finale with the birth of Nate and Brenda's son. But the producers made up for it by killing off everyone before the credits rolled. Mixing humor with moving emotion (Brenda was talked to death and Claire died blind at 102), the show brilliantly gave us closure for all the characters we'd grown to love.
The Shield
This series finale delivered the masterful combination of action and drama that made us love the show throughout its incredible run. Plus, it ended with Vic Mackey in a desk job. 'Nuff said.
Dallas
Episode: "Who Shot J.R.?" (Season 3)
Ah, Dallas, one of the shows responsible for the now-required shocking cliff-hanger finale. This episode, which as the title suggests ends with the mysterious shooting of oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, had audiences in a frenzy between seasons and even spawned T-shirts. More importantly, it was more shocking than any of J.R.'s multiple other "deaths."
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
When WJM-TV is sold, everyone except the incompetent Ted Baxter is axed due to low ratings. Between the reunion Lou arranges with Rhoda and Phyllis and the group hug, this one had us alternately laughing and reaching for the tissues.
The Sopranos
What's there to say about this finale that hasn't already been said? The much-anticipated closer had everyone waiting to see if Tony was finally going to go from whacker to whackee. Instead, they got Journey, a greasy plate of onion rings and a black screen. But, the fact that we're still talking about it proves — for better or worse — that the episode did its job.
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
After capping off his penultimate episode with Bette Midler, Johnny Carson used his last show to look back at his years as host. He ended his television career sitting alone on stage on a stool and saying: "I am one of the lucky people in the world; I found something I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it." So did we, Johnny.
Friends
Episode: "The One with Ross' Wedding" (Season 4)
After meeting, falling in love and getting engaged in one TV season, Ross and Emily were all set to tie the knot in jolly old England. That is, until Rachel showed up to crash the party. Though she didn't go through with stopping the wedding, she obviously got inside Ross' head — when reciting his vows to Emily, he accidently said Rachel's name. Whoops!
Newhart
Newhart ended with one of the most shocking twists ever to hit TV screens. After being hit in the head with a golf ball, Dick Loudon wakes from a crazy dream. The dream, it turns out, was the entire eight-season run of the show, since Newhart's character is in bed with his wife from the decade older The Bob Newhart Show, played by Suzanne Pleshette. Makes that season of Dallas erased by a dream seem like small potatoes, no?
Lost
Episode: "Through the Looking Glass" (Season 3)
Just as we learn that the Lostaways have secured rescue from the island, viewers learn that the suicidal, bearded Jack being featured in "flashbacks" is actually in a flash-forward. When Jack screamed, "We have to go baaaaack," our minds officially melted.
Arrested Development
Every good Arrested Development fan knows the brilliantly quirky and obscure comedy was not only mistreated by the public, but by Fox as well. So what better way to bid adieu — opposite the opening ceremony of the Torino Winter Olympics, no less — than by taking one last shot at their home for three years, attacking Fox brass and Skating with Celebrities (its replacement)? Swipes aside, the finale was also perfect in rewarding the die-hard fan with references and inside jokes about the series. Plus, Ron Howard's classic line — "Maybe a movie?" — is the genesis for all this big-screen talk.
Grey's Anatomy
Episode: "Losing My Religion" (Season 2)
This season-ender was absolutely jam-packed. Meredith and Derek hooked up again. Seattle Grace played host to a prom. And Denny, despite receiving a new heart after all that LVAD-wire cutting, bit the big one, forcing Izzie to quit the intern program. All to the addictive tune of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars"!
Cheers
This show's "last call" served up a tough decision for Sam: his lover Diane or his one true love, the bar. Ultimately, Sam stays in Boston and Cheers lives to pour another cold one. It was just a shame we couldn't peek in on the regulars anymore.
