I think it must be quite a challenge to tie up loose ends and write a satifying ending to a long running series solely because it hardly ever happens. The final shows for Seinfeld, Roseanne, Lost, Sopranos all disappointed their fans. 24 was Ok...are there any others?

Liked:
The OC,(Although it was disappointing that it only had 4 seasons.)
Buffy,
Medium,
That 70's Show,
friends.
Disliked:
Hannah Montana,
24( Unless they make the movie).
Hated:
Dawson's Creek.
I can always tell when a whitey's talking out of his ass-Warrick Brown.
what was wrong with 24 or Dawson's??
shareI didn't like that they made it seem like Dawson and Joey together, but in the end the put Joey and Pacey together. Joey and Dawson are soul mates.
24 Just didn't like it ending with Jack on the run unless they were going to make a movie and end it better.

i think cuz Joey and Dawson were more friends really than lovers...
i thought 24 was alright..
I couldn't stand how joey flopped around from Dawson to Pacey and other guys between. I was like make up your mind already. I was so frustrated with her I was like they should of killed Joey off instead of Jen.
The writers screwed up. They never gave Joey and Dawson a chance and they eluded to them being soul mates and end game then they turn around and put her with Pacey. GRRR Pacey deserves better than her. I wish Tamara came back when he was 18. I know it's not realistic and wrong in the real world but I'm a huge Pacey and Tamara shipper. I just wish she came along when he was an adult.

Dollhouse (both series' finales).
Kill the spare
The Friday Night Lights finale this week was perfection.

I haven't seen either one yet. I don't know--maybe I'm in denial that the show ended. LOL
I know when I finally see the FNL finale I'll be crying. I love the show and hate to think of it ending.
Did you see FNL yet? You WILL cry. I was blubbering before the opening credits! And then I pretty much cried all the way through it.

I liked the LOST series finale. It made me laugh and cry, and ended on a hopeful, uplifting note. I suppose one could see the Medium finale as similar, but the shows had completely different vibes, so what worked for one was completely wrong for the other in my opinion.
Newhart's finale was possibly the best show finale ever. I liked the MTM finale, too. I really don't remember most finales that I've seen, though, and some shows--Alias, Prison Break, Heroes, to name a few--I quit watching during the last season so never saw the finale.
Hated the Quantum Leap finale. I now have a hard time watching the show at all, knowing how depressing the end was. I hated that BTVS killed Anya, and Angel killed Wesley after killing Fred, especially since Illyria was starting to let the remnants of Fred emerge. Hated the Medium finale, too. Killing Joe in a plane crash was a cop-out. I just hope that, although he seemingly never appeared to Allison after that first time, he visited his girls and just told them not to tell their mother in an attempt to get her to move on. Still stinky, though.
JAG's finale is a toss-up. At least Harm and Mac finally got together, but DJB waited until the finale to go there.
I'm so glad people are mentioning Six Feet Under because that is the most brilliant ending to a series I've ever seen. Just an all around amazing show.

Six Feet Under.
I liked the ending of "Charmed" It was a happy ending and it brought back all the main characters from the previous seasons. i.e older Wyatt and Chris, The mother and Grand mother... They traveled through all the times. And the 3 sisters finaly got a happy ending which is more than i can say for the season 7 finale.
I also liked the ending to "Buffy the vampire slayer" Although it has been an "ok" season the ending was ultimately excellent. But didn't quite go in contrast with the "Angel" series.
Urm. I didn't actualy mind the ending of Medium. perhaps they could have laid it out over 2 or 3 episodes but it's got to be so hard to think of a great ending to such a long series. And they didn't have a lot of time. I've enjoyed the show for 7 years and won't be put of by the ending. It's just 1 episode compared to ALL the hard work they have all put in to all of the seasons.
