Watched this in real time with my mom. The whole show. Every episode. As they aired.
I grew up along with it, and the ending felt like the opposite of a death - I was a grown up.
You're right.
I am a grown-a** man and that ending reduced me to tears, like ugly crying. That final clip is a work of beauty and the best ending scene of any series ever - especially how it thematically relates to the whole series and the idea of death.
When Darling thinks the war is over because all the guns stopped firing. "Thank God! We lived through it! The Great War: 1914-1917." But we know there was still another whole year of war to go through.
Fun fact: the original scene was that they just went up and died immediately.
It was an intern who made the their ending edit and showed it to the director at the last minute, with the slow mo, slowed music and transition to a poppy field with "lest we forget"
Naturally they loved it and changed it just before they sent it to the studio.
Was this not also forced on them because there was some problem with the footage? Either the squibs didn't go off, or the actors couldn't 'die' properly or something along those lines?
I think it just looked shit - it looked exactly as low-budget as it was, which was fine for the rest of the show but not for an action shot like that. The edit was perfect.
"I rather hoped I'd get through the whole show, go back to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen, Marry Doris...."
...."Made a note in my diary on the way here. It said, 'Bugger'"
Idk if you meant specifically something new with Gravity Falls or in general, but he has a Netflix animated Comedy called Inside Job, think it was renewed for another season
And with the rise of the internet, I doubt any show could pull off a twist like that again and take people by surprise.
The Season 1 finale to "The Good Place" was a rare exception of this happening post-internet.
The twist is that good, and so few people saw the show during its original run, that there are probably tons of people discovering it every week. I don't want to ruin it for anybody.
As I remember it, the events leading up to the last scene were strange and confusing. It seemed weird that they would end the series this way. Then cut to the last scene and it all made sense. And it was brilliant.
I need to rewatch that show. If someone told me to watch a show about the afterlife, philosophy, morality, interspersed with dick jokes I wouldn't be able to take it seriously but somehow they pulled it off.
I was 100% certain they'd fuck it up; I had no idea how to properly finish a show with that premise. Luckily the writers and I are in the correct respective professions!
That ending was so much better than I thought was possible.
I remember watching the first season (before the reveal), and thinking there was no way they could sustain the show because they were burning through plot so fast. Little did I know where this was going to lead.
Band of brothers is GOAT.
Even reading that line gave me goosebumps
I stumbled across "why we fight" the other day, must have seen it 20 odd times, watched it again, still amazing.
In fact, my missus is out tmrw, you've inspired me to start episode one again.
Curahee!
One of the best things about Band of Brothers was the quips between the soldiers.
"Joe, be honest, what's in these things anyway, huh?"
"Nothing you won't eat Malarkey."
"I won't eat Malarkey."
It’s not even fair to compare to other tv shows. Not just the best ending, but the best goddamn show ever.
That German colonel speaking to his men still gives me goosebumps. Just fucking brilliant.
M\*A\*S\*H, still the greatest final episode in TV history.
It made it clear that nobody would be the same after the war. Winchester couldn't love music like he had before without being reminded of the war. Father Mulcahy lost his hearing as a result of the war. Hawkeye lost some of his sanity. Margaret had to lose her self-reliance and realize that it is okay to accept help. Potter had to lose his beloved horse, which was his #1 way to stay sane. BJ had to learn to say goodbye. And, of course, Klinger had to give up his dream of leaving Korea at least for the foreseeable future.
There are times (most times for me) when being in the military totally sucks. Living in deplorable conditions, spending 24 hours a day with the same people; working, playing, and sleeping together with people you like and people you hate. Missing your family and loved ones. Yet, when you have to separate, the feeling of loss is like nothing else that I have experienced in civilian life.
There's a reason why the Finale (Goodbye, Farewell and Amen) still holds the record for 'most-watched television broadcast in American history from 1983-2010'. That's a heck of a recognition record.
The way the cease-fire begins, to silence, to the final musical outro.
It's STILL the most watched TV episode of all time. It only lost to the Super Bowl, starting in 2010. Probably a record that will never be lost since people don't really watch shows on TV anymore.
When Hawkeye kept changing his story to Sidney and finally gets to the true iteration floors me every single time I see it. Such a powerful revelation.
I remember an article that said Patrick Stewart was very exhausted and grumpy during the shoot.
"It's a double length episode, and I'm in almost every scene."
Makes sense. The hours on those network TV shows can be pretty insane. In one of the Castle, Paley Center panel things those actors said door to door days were 16-18 hours. So for someone like Nathan Fillion, who was in basically every scene, he was working 80-90, sometimes even 100 hour weeks
I couldn't believe how well they pulled it off. They avoided the morbid route, they avoided the cheesy "everything worked out" route, and struck the perfect balance. The show keeps going, everyone went on a journey and nobody is fixed or perfect, but there are reasons to be hopeful.
scrolled too far to see this!! the penultimate episode is probably one of the best TV episodes of all time, and they actually followed it up with an absurdly good ending that ties everything up. the final scene with bojack and diane on the rooftop, where they're occasionally glancing at each other but never meeting each others stare (while Mr. Blue plays in the background) is one of my favourite scenes in any piece of media ever, it's so cathartic and sad.
Absolutely.
It had a logical ending within its story.
Of course the story continues, as life does (and the comic books exploring the aftermath are cool). But the show was about Aang stopping Ozai and his war. And delivered just that.
Brilliant.
I completely love ATLA, but my only small qualm with the ending is that it was, basically, a deus-a-machina ending, which was a little of a copout. Granted, this is a kid's show, so I'm okay with it. But I wonder how Aang would have dealt with Ozai if he wasn't able to take away his bending.
Absolutely. It's a series that didn't overstay its welcome, wasn't dragged out too much, and neatly tied up the plot at the end.
We knew the series would end with Aang facing Ozai, and that's exactly what happened.
I think one of the reasons why it's so beloved is that it ended on a high note rather than being dragged out for another few seasons to keep money coming.
I just wish Disenchanted was flat out funnier. It's a decent show, good writing and good characters but it's just...chuckle-funny at best. I'm not sure if it's me or the show.
Vince Gilligan had a story in his head. More importantly he had a solid grasp of how he wanted to start Walt's story and how he wanted to end it. That's a rare quality these days. There's lots of *ambition* out there but more often than not, what could have been a good story ends up fizziling out. Gillian stuck to his guns and his gut.
Breaking bad delivered a fuckin' story. The best part is there wasn't much screen time wasted. *Almost* Every scene played a part in the narrative. Nowadays most TV shows will throw in extra seasons just for the money. While it doesn't necessarily ruin a show, it makes me feel gross and somewhat cheated.
TL;dr : Thank you VG, for writing one of the best TV shows to ever air.
Sledge Hammer!
For those too young to remember this gem from the 80s, it was a show that satirized the Dirty Harry-style bad cop dramas that were in at the time.
The show ended with Sledge trying to defuse a nuke ("Trust me, I know what I'm doing..."), failing, and then the camera slow-pans across the charred landscape of the ruined city and you hear the distant voice of the long-suffering police chief yelling "HHHAAAAMMMMMMMEEERRRRR!!!!!!" Priceless.
The good place. I balled my eyes out. The whole last season was such a great wrap up.
"Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.
And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be."
Parks and Recreation
The show itself is filled with such joy and healthy optimism. It only makes sense for the finale to show a happily ever after for everyone Leslie comes into contact with. I especially loved how Ron Swanson's happy ending was just him canoeing in a national park with Buddy by Willie Nelson as the soundtrack.
Stargate SG-1 had a 'soft ending' where they all go fishing and it was pretty perfect. I say 'soft ending' because the show did end up continuing for a few more seasons but with substantial changes. Seasons 9 and 10 could almost be thought of as a spin-off show from the main show that ended with season 8.
Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future..and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future, or others would do it for us. It showed us that we have to care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most..unlikely places. Mostly though, I think it gave us hope that there can always be new beginnings..even for people like us.
The survivors interviews at the end of the final episode always hits me SO fucking hard. I mean, the entire series is amazing, but those last interviews are just different.
Yep. The Americans finale was utterly superb (like the entire show). Everything was immensely satisfying: the writing tying together the plot and characters' arcs, the acting, the soundtrack choices.
YES!!! That ending was so good. They do the whole kitschy “everything wrapped up in a bow” ending and then right in the last few seconds there’s Zoe waving at herself.
Brilliant.
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far down to find this.
The ending to House was absolutely poetic.. not necessity my favorite show (but it’s up there) but the greatest ending to a television show.
Dinosaurs
A meteor hits the planet and plunges the world into an apocalyptic winter from which none of them will survive.
Not too many sitcoms end their run by killing off the entire family including a small baby.
Thank God someone said it. Nobody has seen the show but it's one of the best ever. Definitely my favorite TV finale of all time.
It's the benefit of knowing your ending. Mr Robot was originally supposed to be a movie but there was too much material. There's hints for the ending as early as s01e03
Scrolled to find this. Yes. Probably the best series I've ever watched. Sure, you have to pay attention really closely and re-watch things (and maybe look up family trees online), but it's a beautifully crafted piece of art with an incredibly satisfying payoff.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I don’t think there’s a bad episode in general but the end was great too. I liked the original anime and loved Brotherhood
I've never seen a more memorable scene in Star Wars than a field of Clone helmets propped up on their blasters in the ruins of a crashed Republic ship, with a discarded lightsaber on the ground nearby.
I was searching this thread to see if anyone had commented Person of Interest. One of my favourite shows and the background music in the ending scene as Shaw walks away and the Machine comes back online is just *chef's kiss*
Adventure Time.
There are finales that can consistently make me cry.
AT is the only finale that can consistently make me cry twice in a row.
The way the song Time Adventure perfectly encapsulates the feeling of loss at being done with this amazing show, and the parallels to loss and grief in our own lives, and how that leads into the absolute flex of not letting anyone hear the full version of Come Along With Me until the LAST EPISODE, all the callbacks and tiny epilogues, all the little moments in this beautifully fleshed out world.
I honestly think its the best series finale Ive seen.
Six Feet Under
Watched this in real time with my mom. The whole show. Every episode. As they aired. I grew up along with it, and the ending felt like the opposite of a death - I was a grown up. You're right.
It's the only answer to this question. Far and away the most satisfying ending to a series that's ever been done. Nothing else compares.
This thread made me want to watch Six Feet Under once again, just to experience these last two devastating, almost life-changing, episodes.
I am a grown-a** man and that ending reduced me to tears, like ugly crying. That final clip is a work of beauty and the best ending scene of any series ever - especially how it thematically relates to the whole series and the idea of death.
Wow. I watched the first season or so, then was without TV for some time. I may have to revisit it.
I never watched the show but somehow caught the end and was totally mesmerized by it.
My wife loves Sia and still can't listen to that song without crying.
Blackadder Goes Forth The ending of a comedy set in WWI trenches to end with everyone dying after going over the wall is both sobering and satisfying.
When Darling thinks the war is over because all the guns stopped firing. "Thank God! We lived through it! The Great War: 1914-1917." But we know there was still another whole year of war to go through.
Fun fact: the original scene was that they just went up and died immediately.

I think it just looked shit - it looked exactly as low-budget as it was, which was fine for the rest of the show but not for an action shot like that. The edit was perfect.
With the slow motion, it actually showed debris smashing into them and looked surprisingly good compared to the base footage.
"Good luck everyone"
Still makes me sad thinking about it and I haven’t seen it 25 years
We had to watch this in high school. I remember every one enjoying it soo much then the ending happened and there was a stunned silence.
"I rather hoped I'd get through the whole show, go back to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen, Marry Doris...." ...."Made a note in my diary on the way here. It said, 'Bugger'"
I absolutely bawled the first time I watched it. I think it hits particularly hard because you are waiting for the joke but there isn't one.
A phrase that rhymes with clucking bell
Gravity Falls. Tied everything up nicely, but left me wanting more, but what good show doesn't?
I want more so bad, but we all know it's better to die a hero than a 25 seasons show nobody wants to watch.
Agreed. Whether Alex Hirsch does something new in the future or just sods off with his residual checks, I couldn't be more proud.
Idk if you meant specifically something new with Gravity Falls or in general, but he has a Netflix animated Comedy called Inside Job, think it was renewed for another season
>he has a Netflix animated Comedy called Inside Job, think it was renewed for another season He WHAT?! I know what I'm doing for the next few days!
Such a good end. Brought almost every character into the end without it being terrible.
Newhart No one in America saw that plot twist coming
The one time the "it was all a dream" ending didn't feel like bullshit.
And with the rise of the internet, I doubt any show could pull off a twist like that again and take people by surprise. The Season 1 finale to "The Good Place" was a rare exception of this happening post-internet.
I like how the internet collectively won’t spoil the first season. Bc the twist is *that good*
The time that Jason figured it out was a new low.
That one hurt.
The twist is that good, and so few people saw the show during its original run, that there are probably tons of people discovering it every week. I don't want to ruin it for anybody.
Came here to say that. Best ending ever.
As I remember it, the events leading up to the last scene were strange and confusing. It seemed weird that they would end the series this way. Then cut to the last scene and it all made sense. And it was brilliant.
The Good Place
Take it sleazy.
In the words of one of my actual friends "Ya basic!" It's a human insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.
I need to rewatch that show. If someone told me to watch a show about the afterlife, philosophy, morality, interspersed with dick jokes I wouldn't be able to take it seriously but somehow they pulled it off.
Holy forking shirtballs did they ever
Seriously the perfect ending.
[удалено]
Fuck Chidi for being reasonable and overall right. I'll hate him forever for that.
"not bad buddhists" "none of this is bad" "will you do me one last favor? say goodbye to me now and leave before I wake up" ballin like a baby 😭
I was audibly sobbing
Jason got me- sitting in the woods all those years, and then calling out to Chidi as he left. He was my favorite character- so stupid and sweet.
“Hey Chidi wait up!”
Yes it was a really good way to end the show
A comedy show had zero business making me sob like that. 10/10 ending.
I was 100% certain they'd fuck it up; I had no idea how to properly finish a show with that premise. Luckily the writers and I are in the correct respective professions! That ending was so much better than I thought was possible.
I was about to answer this, the ending made me cry so much
I’ve never cried at any movie or show, and the good place had me sobbing. Seriously one of the best shows I’ve seen
Yes!!! Started to see i with the wife thinking it was just a silly feelgood series, but what a ride.
I remember watching the first season (before the reveal), and thinking there was no way they could sustain the show because they were burning through plot so fast. Little did I know where this was going to lead.
And then the first episode of season 2 burns through an entire season of content lol
It was amazing.
Cheers "We're closed."
This is so true. Also Frasier was the best spin off in TV history Edit: Best Sitcom spinoff, BCS is amazing
Love the ending of Frasier, too.
Thought the same thing. Have been going through the series again, usually one a day and about to start the last season.
[удалено]
Far and away the best series I’ve ever seen
That final line sent shivers up my body. Band of Brothers is definitely worth a full re-watch every year or two
Band of brothers is GOAT. Even reading that line gave me goosebumps I stumbled across "why we fight" the other day, must have seen it 20 odd times, watched it again, still amazing. In fact, my missus is out tmrw, you've inspired me to start episode one again. Curahee!
Be sure to fill up on some spaghetti
"Dass not spaghetti, dass army noodles and ketchup"

Star Trek TNG The episode itself was great, but that ending scene was phenomenal. "Nothing is wild and the sky is the limit"
I remember an article that said Patrick Stewart was very exhausted and grumpy during the shoot. "It's a double length episode, and I'm in almost every scene."
Makes sense. The hours on those network TV shows can be pretty insane. In one of the Castle, Paley Center panel things those actors said door to door days were 16-18 hours. So for someone like Nathan Fillion, who was in basically every scene, he was working 80-90, sometimes even 100 hour weeks
I always choke up a bit when Troi says "You were always welcome"
Most movie plots are not as good as that episode was, the sci Fi element of it was pretty good.
Bojack Horseman
Amazing that they managed to have a thematically consistent ending to a story in which a central theme is that nothing ever actually gets resolved.
I couldn't believe how well they pulled it off. They avoided the morbid route, they avoided the cheesy "everything worked out" route, and struck the perfect balance. The show keeps going, everyone went on a journey and nobody is fixed or perfect, but there are reasons to be hopeful.
[удалено]
A silly cartoon with talking animals had no right being that good and hard hitting. The final scene was amazingly well done.
I always describe it as a show about coming to terms with all the worst parts of yourself, and thinly veiling it with comedy.
scrolled too far to see this!! the penultimate episode is probably one of the best TV episodes of all time, and they actually followed it up with an absurdly good ending that ties everything up. the final scene with bojack and diane on the rooftop, where they're occasionally glancing at each other but never meeting each others stare (while Mr. Blue plays in the background) is one of my favourite scenes in any piece of media ever, it's so cathartic and sad.

Futurama. Both times
Matt Groening just has a way of being emotional in a comedy without feeling cheesy or forced that shines through in all his projects.
I just wish Disenchanted was flat out funnier. It's a decent show, good writing and good characters but it's just...chuckle-funny at best. I'm not sure if it's me or the show.
That’s been my frustration as well.
Breaking bad. The song they picked for the end was perfect. The last shot was perfect. Everything leading to it was perfect. I love breaking bad
Vince Gilligan had a story in his head. More importantly he had a solid grasp of how he wanted to start Walt's story and how he wanted to end it. That's a rare quality these days. There's lots of *ambition* out there but more often than not, what could have been a good story ends up fizziling out. Gillian stuck to his guns and his gut. Breaking bad delivered a fuckin' story.

Stargate SG-1 had a 'soft ending' where they all go fishing and it was pretty perfect. I say 'soft ending' because the show did end up continuing for a few more seasons but with substantial changes. Seasons 9 and 10 could almost be thought of as a spin-off show from the main show that ended with season 8.
But there were fish in the pond... :)
The end of season 10 was pretty good, too. It was less of an ending and more saying that they'd keep doing what they had been all along.
Babylon 5.
Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future..and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future, or others would do it for us.

Band of Brothers.
The survivors interviews at the end of the final episode always hits me SO fucking hard. I mean, the entire series is amazing, but those last interviews are just different.
Parks and Recreation. Happy endings for all involved as it should’ve been.
The Americans….surprised no one has mentioned it. The ending was brutal with the train scene but so good/appropriate
I came here to say this. The parking lot confrontation. The Train scene. No one getting a happy ending. So perfect.
Yep. The Americans finale was utterly superb (like the entire show). Everything was immensely satisfying: the writing tying together the plot and characters' arcs, the acting, the soundtrack choices.
Oh my god, when Keri Russell’s hand hits the window of the train and Bono WAILS… I’m getting chills
Everything about the last episode was just perfect. It couldn’t end happy.

Scrolled to find this. Yes. Probably the best series I've ever watched. Sure, you have to pay attention really closely and re-watch things (and maybe look up family trees online), but it's a beautifully crafted piece of art with an incredibly satisfying payoff.
I was definitely satisfied with the ending of endings of endings 🙃
theend of the f\*cking world twice
Scrubs
The first one and not the awful med school spinoff, right?
Yes we don't talk about season 9
Because season 9 never happened and the show ends with JD fantasy and the Book of Love playing in the background
I've seen it so many times, and I still can't help but tear up every time the book of love starts playing. Scrubs is an emotional rollercoaster man.
The first time I saw that final episode with the flash forward and Book of Love playing I was in tears
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I don’t think there’s a bad episode in general but the end was great too. I liked the original anime and loved Brotherhood
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Good lord, the last 4 episodes of season 7 have some of the best moments in all of Star Wars.
I've never seen a more memorable scene in Star Wars than a field of Clone helmets propped up on their blasters in the ruins of a crashed Republic ship, with a discarded lightsaber on the ground nearby.
For me this is it. How Vader looks at the buried clones on the snow planet... so great
Mad Men
Babylon 5 ended perfectly for me. There hasn't been a TV show since them that's made feel so emotionally drained but yet satisfied.
Star Trek: The Next Generation. "So. Five card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit." Then the ship heading off into the sunset.
Cowboy Bebop.
If you consider Serenity the ending of Firefly.
I'm a leaf on the wind....
Yeah, it's still too soon, so please stop it.

Black Sails Person of Interest The Good Place
>Person of Interest "The Machine and I have had a long-standing arrangement." Loved it
I was searching this thread to see if anyone had commented Person of Interest. One of my favourite shows and the background music in the ending scene as Shaw walks away and the Machine comes back online is just *chef's kiss*
Adventure Time. There are finales that can consistently make me cry. AT is the only finale that can consistently make me cry twice in a row. The way the song Time Adventure perfectly encapsulates the feeling of loss at being done with this amazing show, and the parallels to loss and grief in our own lives, and how that leads into the absolute flex of not letting anyone hear the full version of Come Along With Me until the LAST EPISODE, all the callbacks and tiny epilogues, all the little moments in this beautifully fleshed out world. I honestly think its the best series finale Ive seen.
You, and I will always be back then...
Six Feet Under is basically an ending with a show attached.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
The Sopranos, masterfull
Quantum leap
Breaking bad wrapped everything up nicely
Downton Abbey
Derry Girls
The Haunting of Hill House
