This week is all about series finales. USA's show Monk (2002-2009) just aired its final episode this week. I thought it was a great wrap-up to this incredibly smart and funny show. We finally learn who killed Trudy and why and its healing effect upon Mr. Monk. So it was a fantabulous series finale; it neatly tied up loose ends and made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside....so my thoughts are what TV shows ended really lame? What ones ended fantabulously like Monk?
For me? I hated how Quantum Leap (1989-1993) ended...it wrapped things up but in a very confusing and annoying way. Veronica Mars (2004-2007) had a great season finale episode! But a horrible end to the series...it got canceled and the creator Rob Thomas was hoping a season finale episode would persuade the bigwigs at top to renew the show for one more season...didn't happen. It's the most frustrating thing ever!!!!!
Most people probably won't agree with me, but I thought the series finale to Seinfeld (1990-1998) was superb! The selfish and whiny peeps finally got their just desserts! Though, it was a sad ending to a wonderful comedy era...
For some reason the series' that I love just haven't gotten their great final hurrahs. Oh well! I keep watching and hoping...
Some great shows there!

I thought the series finale for Seinfeld was dead on. But once I saw it, it reminded me why I had grown so tired of the show. They were all just awful people!
ReplyDeleteGreat series ending--M.A.S.H.
This is a fun meme. I'm anxiously awaiting the final season (and series finale) of LOST.
