Kinda not a clip show, since none of the memories except for 3 minutes of Pete's at the end were clips from prior episodes. All original content filmed for this episode.
I realize that, but it was still a clip show... just a clip show of original scenes... hence my Golden Girls joke... they did those "do you remember the time we..." shows a lot.
It actually makes me angrier that it was original scenes... I mean, they paid to bring back HG and all those special effects for a clip show? Any one of those clips could have been expanded and turned into a finale episode. But instead of bothering to write a coherent finale, the writers said, "well, here are a bunch of ideas we had, but we don't have time to do them or really flesh them out, so what the hell?! Let's just throw them into a bag and pull them out at random."
The 42nd Street thing was cute though, but again... it didn't need to be that long and it didn't need to be a freaking clip show. The finale was basically Ms. Frederick and Jinks watching old home movies... and we didn't even get to see the interesting clips about Ms. Fredericks past?!

Really doesn't seem that much different than any flashback episode. A little story in the "now" and a little story in the "then".
I actually thought the Jinks/Ms. F scenes were great, the one that felt he didn't belong, being privy to things no one else knew.
