TC is actually the saddest ending to a series I've ever seen (though it is amazingly well done).

Bittersweet: M*A*S*H

Happy: Seinfeld

Family Matters- Laura and Steve finally got with each other.

Actually, since I never thought they were right for each other (Myra, anyone?), I don't think that one was a happy ending, but rather an annoying ending.

Roseanne's ending was so sad :(

The ending was in a made-for movie, but the end of The Incredible Hulk sucked. After all that running and trying to find a cure...David falls out of a plane and dies. It was sad and I hated it.

I actually heard that they were supposed to do another movie where he came back but then Bill Bixby got sick so that ended all that.

how's 'bout the finale of "BARNEY MILLER"? Where they all leave the squad room for the last time, Barney's the last one to leave, he pauses at the door, turns and looks around, thinks about the others (and they show clips) then he turns out the light and closes the door.

The Happy Days finale was good with the Wedding of Joanie and Chachi, as well as That 70's Show with Eric and Donna getting back together.

I hated the Everybody Loves Raymond finale. You would think they could've done better. On the season 9 dvd set, Ray mentions in the commentary that the original series finale was going to be what was the season premiere that year when Marie and Frank move out and then get kicked out of the condo. What ended up being the finale was originally the premiere that year! I think the original plan would've made the ending better!

it ended with a birth and a new beginning for two lovers...but it was one of the best finales of recent history. FRIENDS

the W and G finale was fun to watch but was vague.....

best finale of all time MASH

I liked the finale for The Odd Couple -- it was funny and well done -- Felix finally wins his ex-wife Gloria back -- Oscar gets his apartment to himself again.

another good one was "THE FUGITIVE" with Richard Kimble finnaly becoming freed.

And, I think the worst one was "MASH".

Yeah...I wish that could have been made. If for no other reason than to see what they had in mind.

But that's why there's fan fiction. I have my own ideas.

Cheers - when they closed the bar.

The Fugitive - Kimball finally becomes a free man

Malcolm in the Middle - Reese and Malcolm got jobs in college, Francis and Piyama gotten a whole different job, and some other good stuff.

Good Times - Thelma and Keith get a new partment, Kieth gets his job for the Chicago Bears, Thelma has a child, J.J. gets to bring his art business out, Florida andf Wilona move out of the projects.

SportsNight is bittersweet. Storyline-wise, it's a VERY hopeful episode. Which makes it that much more ironic that it is the last. Their channel gets bought by a white-knight investor, who LOVES their show. Wish the same could have been said of ABC....

The saddest ending to a television series would have to be in the last episode of MacGyver entitled The Stringer.

Pete: MacGyver...Phoenix Board asked me give you this.
MacGyver: Pete?
Pete: It's a offer of new contract and it's very generous I think you'll look at it.
MacGyver: We've been through this before Pete. Sam and I got a little catching up to do.
Pete: I thought you would go for it...you know I can't even imagine what is it gonna be like without you around here.
MacGyver: Things change.
Pete: Not always...good things don't. Don't you ever change MacGyver.
MacGyver: Don't you either Pete.
Pete: Well...can I expect you'll drop by once and while anyway.
MacGyver: Count on it my friend.
Pete: Sam take care your old man will you?
Sam: You can count on it.
Sam: So where to?
MacGyver: Somewhere else.

The last episode of The Golden Girls was really good but so sad. I can't watch it without crying.:crying: The girls were really crying in those scenes. It was a great ending to a great show. :)
