I was planning on watching the Anime too. I guess I'll take it off my netflix now if its over 100 episodes of nothingness. But yeah if you can find it I would say read the manga it is really good.Sudenak said:
Best and worst tv series finale.

Yeah, I'd highly suggest never looking at it. It'll probably hurt you. I will have to keep an eye out for the manga though, because I did like Miroku and Sango. A bit. Well, more than Inuyasha and Kagome.Krion_Vark said:
So really, seeing them get something sorted would at least give me some closure. After wasting so much time through 10 seasons of it, I just want closure ;-;
Best: Boston Legal
Worst: Smallville.
Teasing the whole Superman thing for 10 years, and then they don't show it.

Worst: The ending to the whole Aizen section of Bleach which was retarded in all kinds of ways.

I have to agree with you on Dragon Ball Z, I'm not too sure what constituted seasons for DBZ though (I died early on in the Z era) so I'd say the whole Buu saga was a dissapoining end to a show that was always an awsome childhood-morning-TV alternative to the tellytubbies. (and also GT was a milk the cash cow/worship goku drag through the mud etc)Cheezeypoofs said:
Also I'd say Firefly ended its last season dissapointingly, mainly because it didnt come back.
The best ending is Extras. Christmas Special mostly, but even if it ended at the last episode it would be great. De Niro's cameo was amazing straight out dat hiznat. Dead Set's ending would come in close second. Mostly because that crap went down.
And Breaking Bad hasn't ended yet, and Venture Bros is still going.
Worst is....... I don't know... Hanna Montana?

Best: Welcome To The NHK. Honestly, the whole last few episodes of that show are the closest I've ever come to crying at a TV show.
Worst: Heroes. Actually, scratch that, everything after the first few episodes of Season Two of Heroes.

Best: Life on Mars, when Sam jumps off the building to return back to his fantasy world, great ending
Futurama(season 4): Because it ended, if the Simpsons can make around 22 series then why did Futurama get cancelled twice in 4 seasons? To me Futurama is the best animated show out there.

I was JUST about to say Heroes. Really can't think of anything else.tomservo4prezident said:
For the best, I would say either Miami Vice, Cowboy Bebop or The Wire. See, to have a good ending you must go into your show with the feeling that it MUST end at some point, and rather than hope you'll sort that out later, best to make your ending plan NOW. The Wire set things up for a brilliant conclusion. Likewise, Cowboy Bebop was a single season long, so no issue there. Miami Vice has an excellent ending considering its peers at the time it was running (as in, it actually has an ending episode which wraps things up but gives hope for the future of the characters and isn't too dark.)
For the worst, I don't know. I usually stop watching when I realize it's going nowhere, but Evangelion the TV series had an awful ending (and the show wasn't nearly as deep as it thought it was anyway.) It's not the worst, merely bad. The worst is probably when a good show gets canceled before any final episode can be made, so it just stops. Code Monkeys is a prime example.

I understand why you dislike the finale but I really disagree. I think it is the best finale ever (or at least from the TV I've seen). It was perfect. You never stop fighting. Redemption isn't easy. Season 5 was always a bit of a meh season for me. Whilst it was better then most TV it wasn't as good as season 2 or 3. However, it had some of the best episodes of the series; Smile Time, A Hole in the World, Not Fade Away etc.mduncan50 said:
It continued the message that the show strived to deliver throughout it's run. You never stop fighting until the end. Angel was always willing to throw himself to the wolves as we've seen countless times (Doyle has to stop him from jumping onto the device that killed demons with human blood resulting in him dying, Cordelia constantly has to talk him down). Angel has been working towards this "reward" yet he sacrifices everything to save the world.
Wesley dying is one of the best death scenes I've ever seen. I have never cried at a film/TV but that scene always brings me close. The characters final "perfect day" range from sweet (Gunn's) to hilarious (Spike's) to heartbreaking (Wesley's).
The final scene is perfect. The show ends with the gang fighting the good fight. We don't know if they die (although it seems you think they do, which is fair enough) or if they're still living now. It never ends.

As Buffy said on the hill in "Amends" (Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together."
They will not fade away.
As for the worst I'd probably go with Veronica Mars maybe, although that's not really fair because the show didn't get a proper ending and had sucked since Season 1.

In any case, GT certainly isn't the best of the franchise and was obviously made just to cash in on the previous shows' success. However if you can overlook a few of it's glaring flaws (and one giant gaping plot hole), like Vegeta's horrible haircut (despite the fact that Saiyan's aren't supposed to be able to GET haircuts), then it can be fairly enjoyable. ...or rather I found it so and you might too. I love the opening theme.
Best: Either SGU or stargate atlantis. SGU's was sad and classy in equal measure atlantis's was just a nice ending.
Worst: Yeah it's another vote for Alias the biggest WTF moment i've ever witnessed in a tv show.
And a special mention for Blackadder goes forth.

Same here, an excellent series with a superb finale.Michael Hirst said:
Worst . . . . I'm not really sure, I guess Dollhouse. If they'd had several seasons to build up to that it may have been fine, but trying to cram it in because it wasn't being renewed was a real mistake.
I felt sick and a little disturbed after watching that ending..LuckyClover95 said:I think you spelled finale wrongBut a lot of shows I watch haven't finished yet.
Dead Set was pretty good.
So yeah good horror
