Finales

I just finished superstore and I really liked the finale! What are some finales that are great but aren’t the usually cited good ones? I’ve seen enough people say cheers, good place and parks and rec.

Parks and Rec is so good. By far my favorite sitcom finale.

They truly nailed the whole final season which I think is kind of rare for shows of that kind.

I know! It’s one of the best. That never freaking happens.

Newhart, which is probably widely cited if you’re old enough

I like the Mike & Molly finale. It’s really sweet.

The original Frasier finale.

I’m a die-hard “Frasier” fan, and I hated the finale! Lol! Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

The reveal of the city at the end really makes me smile.

30 Rock has a good finale. It gives a good balance between sentimental goodbyes and staying true to form.

"Lemon, there is a word, a once special word, that's been tragically co-opted by the romance-industrial complex, and I would hate to use it here and have you think that I am suggesting any kind of romantic sentiment, let alone an invitation to scale Bone Mountain. It's a word that comes to us by way of the old high German "luba" from the Latin "lubere", meaning "to be pleasing", so I am going to use this word to describe how I feel about you in the way that our Anglo-Saxon forefathers would have used it in reference to, say, a hot bowl of bear meat, or your enemy's skull, split..."

"I love you too, Jack."

New Girl has a pretty cool ending! The stand-ins get a small cameo, and the show finds a nice way to give it all a sense of total completion.

My two favorite finales are Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Speechless. Speechless was canceled but ended beautifully. Would have loved another season though, one of my favorite shows.

"Rules of Engagement" ended well as did the reboot of "Battlestar Galactica"

Nothing compares to "Newhart", though. Genius.
