What's the best ending to a TV show?

Dr house, season 8 the final ever episode is an absolute cracker. Possibly the greatest t.v series I have ever watched and it ended so brilliantly

Did it end with House being dismissive of a case.
Then getting intrigued by conventional medicine making it worse.
Then he 'cured' the patient.
Only to actually bring them to the verge of death.
Causing House to break medical, ethical, and send his team out to break societies laws.
So House can then cure the patient and have them happily walk from the hospital.
While House plays a blues riff on the piano.



Oh and it's raining.

Is one of the greatest moments on TV EVER.

The interesting thing about that, is that when they filmed it, it looked so shit they were in a real panic that it was going to be such a crap ending. It was only when one of the editors slowed the footage down, took the sound out that they actually realised they had created an emotional gem!

Thought the ending of Ashes to Ashes was brilliant. Had no idea how they would pull it all together like that.

Never got round to watching the last series of Ashes to Ashes, but the ending of Life on Mars was incredible. Kept me thinking for weeks that did.

I liked the ending of the Soprano's but to me it meant that Tony got shot, as the music stopped

Survived the shooting ended up in the witness protection programme
( living safely in hiding somewhere in shoreham )

No, Wilson got cancer and was given 6 months to live but House was on police bail so had to stay in the hospital under supervision. House faked his own death by placing a body from the morge in a burning building so could only be identified by the dental records and the end scene has House approaching Wilson after Houses funeral and the two ride off on motorbikes for an adventure that sees them living out Wilsons favourite things rather than the usual of them doing everything House wants to do

Blackadder definitely, but the final scenes of Six Feet Under packed a pretty powerful punch.

FlashForward never even got a second series, let alone a third. Great premise, terrible execution. Would agree with The Sopranos and would also add West Wing.

I think you're right, but I think in Britain it was shown in two chunks. Could be wrong as I only watched parts of it out of family loyalty.

Absolutely magnificent!

But for me, the best finale to a TV Show is the finale of THE best ever sitcom. Dr Fasier Crane.

Yeah, think the writer's strike played a part in it being shown in two chunks. Despite knowing it had been cancelled (and being largely a load of old pony) I kept watching right to the end.

The ending of The Hills was a beautiful thing. 6 seasons of top quality reality TV, then BAM, turns out it wasn't real all along. WHO KNEW!?

 

[Pavilionaire]

I thought "The Office" had a brilliant final ending with Tim and Dawn, David Brent getting a real girlfriend and telling Chris Finch to f*** off.

Also, that Olympic comedy '2012' had quite a good ending too.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Ashes to Ashes and Quantum Leap, both great endings.

 

[Vicar!]

Breaking Bad Season 4! The aftermath of the explosion. Superb.

 

[BBassic]

The ending of Six Feet Under is the greatest five minutes of television I've ever seen.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Ashes to Ashes and Quantum Leap, both great endings.

Agreed on the 1st, totally disagree on the 2nd.
