Name a TV show that ended just right.

Plus if time travel is easy enough for the Federation to pull off why didn't the Borg with their superior technology simply travel back in time and assimilate all the sentient races before they could become any kind of threat?

Because they don't want to assimilate anything that won't add anything to the collective.

So replace "assimilate" with "wipe out."

My point is that time travel fails because if you can do it then so can the other guy. You travel forward thinking you're so clever and the other guy is waiting for you with a smile and a charged phaser. And that's if you're lucky.

Malcolm in the Middle did it just right. Sent the show off with good closure, showing how each character ended up doing awesome.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I'm going to choose The Sopr...

Win.

I'd say Life on Mars (Uk, no idea about US), Friends and Black Adder.

I'm tempted to say The Venture Bros even if they are coming back. This would have made the perfect ending.

 

[Corkydog]

If it hasn't been said, then Arrested Development. It sucks it was cancelled, but they knew ahead of time, so they wrapped up pretty much everything. I love that show, and I loved the last episode.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

life on mars... ashes to ashes was pretty awesome as well

and i would say scrubs, the end of season 8 was perfect, couldnt have been better, then fucking season 9 comes along..... god, so that doesnt count, although it should

 

[Varya]

Last Season of Scrubs doesn't count. I didn't hate it, but it's really a spin-off. The creator even said so before he made season nine, so we don't even have to ret-con it.

Avatar the last Airbender had a good ending.
I also liked Gilmore Girls ending (yeah, I like Gilmore Girls, more like love actually, deal)

I actually wasn't to fond of the Voyager ending, it wasn't bad, just not "end of a 7 year epic"-good. I liked the-TNG ending better. I know there are movies after, but they still ended the series in a good way

 

[swankyfella]

Cowboy Bebop has one of the best endings to a series that I've ever seen.

I also thought Avatar: TLA had a good ending. Yeah, it was corny as shit but it's a kid's show from Nickelodeon. What else could it be? Also, the fight with the Fire Lord was awesome.

Edit: Avatar ninja'd. damn.

 

[JakBandit2208]

I would love to say Scrubs, but then they made Season 9 -_-

If you ask me the 9th Season of Scrubs doesn't exist.

 

[babinro]

I've never seen a show that ended really well...

Shows like Lost, Seinfeld and Death Note both build up well but ultimately disappoint or fall short.

**WARNING, SPOILERS FOR AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER HERE**

Avatar: The last Airbender, the show ended well, they only had two loose ends, what happened to Jet and what happened to Zuko's mother, it wasn't a cop out ending that honestly, with nickelodeon breathing down their backs about how to end it without killing the firelord(becuase it was still a kids show, even if it did have some mature decisons), they wraped it up pretty well in my opinion. It's the best ending to a show that I've seen. Of course I don't count show like Firefly who were ended becuase of the Network, not through the show's own ending.

I also liked Gilmore Girls ending (yeah, I like Gilmore Girls, more like love actually, deal)

I Actually did too

 

[MadManV27]

MASH

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Avatar: The Last Airbender was an incredibly tightly constructed show. It ended right when it needed to.

 

[ColeMcdoi]

Easily Scrubs, technically it ended at Season 8 and the season after is actually a spin-off. So yeah, (SPOILER ALERT!!!) the part with J.D walking towards the exit of Sacred Heart and him seeing all the patients and memroable people that have been in the series is just.....EPIC

 

[radioactive lemur]

A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought Prison Break had a really powerful ending. It was really sad sure, but I thought it was a masterpiece. Plus it gave a real feeling of closure so we're not wondering if they will revive it.

In contrast, 24, a show that was absolutely epic in every other way had an ending that sucked. Not that it wasn't a good episode, it was a great episode, but there was no closure of any kind. They could have EASILY made another season, if not a few more. And they fucking should have.

 

[Dukenstein]

M*A*S*H had the best finale of any show. I mean, who did not cry during it? Also, it was the most viewed television event viewed to date in the U.S, beating the Superbowl.

 

[DiscipleOfUranus]

The Office and Extras. Their christmas specials are fucking awesome and it was literally the best thing. Also it didn't go on to long.

I couldn't agree more.

Monk ended pretty well. As much as I would have loved for them to continue it, they did a fine job wrapping up the series.

Everything these gentlemen said.

 

[franconbean]

the UK version of Life On Mars.
the US one was beyond stupid.

I'd forgotten about Life on Mars UK, that is probably the second best example after Blackadder, shame they made Asher to Asher 1 season too long, because for a spin-off that was really quite good. And I will never understand why they made the US version, it hit every base on the shit pitch. Why couldn't they have just imported the UK version???

I guess for the same reason they didn't import the UK version of The Office (which also had a good ending i think)
edit: for me that would be export

Oh, I just realized my 100th post was about TV-shows, my greatest past-time. I even mentioned Gilmore Girls. How fitting, Champagne for everyone!
