What were the Best/Worst series finales of a T.V. program?

TheOsprey

In your opinion, what were the best and worst series finales, when it comes to television programs?

Best: Friends- I know this series ended a bit too neatly for some people, but I really thought it was a fitting ending to one of the best shows to ever air on t.v. It's like the show came full circle, only with the characters alot more mature. I loved it.

Worst: Weeds- I absolutely HATED the way it jumped ahead so quickly and mainly revolved around Stevie as a teen, when in the episode immediately before this one, he was just a baby and more of a prop, than an actual character. I also HATED how everyone's lives had changed so drastically, yet we as long time viewers, didn't get to see how those changes came about or the actual progression of the characters as they were now these "changed" individuals. I mean, Andy's life was so drastically different in the final episode, yet the audience never actually gets to see the change for themselves. He just tells Nancy about his new life. As probably the most beloved character of the show, it would have been very nice to get to see a glimpse of Andy's new life for ourselves. I felt extremely cheated as a long time viewer.

Weeds should have ended at season 3. Even if it didn't tie up loose ends, it would have been an above average series finale.

Not sure what I'd put as best, for worst I'll go with Battlestar Galactica.

The Wire had an awesome finale, the Larry Sanders Show had the best for a comedy. The Sopranos finale was pretty awesome too, even with the very end.

I love the idea of the Seinfeld finale, but it really just wasn't very good.

The finale for Six Feet Under blows away any other series IMO.
