“To absent friends, in memory still bright.” (Which is even sadder when you realize four of the six actors in that scene have since passed away, plus three other cast members as well.)

I think the Boy Meets World finale was a good send off with characters who were written off reappearing and decent closure.

Stupendous.

Newhart is pretty good as well, as it was good enough to raise an otherwise mediocre series up to a higher level. Without that finale the series is an unmemorable stinker. Conversely, the finale of the 70’s Bob Newhart Show is in no way memorable.

Thumbs down on TNG. It’s not even the best Star Trek finale.

The M*A*S*H finale is a bloated downer. Unwatchable once, let alone ever watching it again. I made it through a second time and regretted it as somehow it was even worse than the first time.

Seinfeld is a famous hound as well. The less said, the better. Embarrassing that anyone would mention it here as being even remotely good.

_Justice League Unlimited_ went out with on a high note and with quite a flourish. That was a *real* good one.

_Newhart_’s finale was famously good… eventually.

_The Wire_ had a pretty good finale. Also _Seinfeld_. Oh, and _Late Night with David Letterman_ on NBC! _Veronica Mars_, first time around, and _Sports Night_.

Also, I will always vote for a “Best” bracket, rather than a “Worst,” as I prefer to look at the positive side of pop culture.
