American DreamsI would consider Happy Days a proper ending. Joanie and Chachi got married, and Fonzie's son got to stay.

Gilmore Girls the original series didn't get the send off like it should have. It should have the final 8th season. Thank goodness for the Netflix reboot.

Fonzie had a son on "HAPPY DAYS"??? WOW, that show REALLY jumped the shark-sounds like I made the right decision when I decided to stop watching it after the first season.

WOW, that show REALLY jumped the shark-sounds like I made the right decision when I decided to stop watching it after the first season.I haven't seen the last episodes in awhile, but I think it was like a big brother/little brother relationship where they were going to take the boy away from Fonzie. It wasn't actually his but like a son just the same.

Up until a certain year most series did not have finales, especially sitcoms. You had shows like "the Fugitive" or "Mary Tyler Moore" that did. But many classics did not. I don't think it is always necessary like some people do. Many of the greatest shows out there never had one "All in the Family", "Sanford and Son", for example.

I'd prefer to think that Archie, Fred, (and Al Bundy, the Clampetts, etc.) are still out there going on as usual and not every character had to get married, move away, or have a baby like it all happened out of nowhere when it didn't happen in 99% of the series. It has become cliche' to me.

Yea the whole cast of the Jeffersons were mad they didn't get a send off and they all found out the show was canceled in different ways. One found out from their cousin and another read about it in the paper.

Hogan's Heroes

The Jeffersons

Kinght Rider

Per Knight Rider, the episode "The Scent of Roses" was supposed to be its last go in 1986. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, it was not, and it ended with a fair-to-middling (at least IMO) episode called "Voo Doo Knight."

A-Team, H5O (classic), Family Matters, Spin City (was supposed to end after season 4, but after season 6 was not proper series finale), George Lopez

Most of the Norman Lear shows just stopped except for Good Times, where they wrapped things up because they probably knew they weren't getting a seventh season after even Esther Rolle's return couldn't bring back the audience they lost. The Jeffersons didn't really end (deviating from the All in the Family template there but yet sticking to it by having Lionel and Jenny get a divorce just as Mike and Gloria did), and the cast learned about their cancellation from the media before CBS could tell them. All in the Family effectively has two endings, but then Archie Bunker's Place didn't get any kind of closure with its last episode despite a bunch of articles paying tribute to it and recalling how it used to be before the edges were sanded off.

Webster's final episode isn't really a finale per se, just a clip show/crossover with Star Trek: The Next Generation where Webster dreamed he was on the Starship Enterprise and met Worf. No, I am not making that up. Susan Clark and Alex Karras weren't even in it except in clips! Punky Brewster got a clip show finale too, but it actually has a sense of closure as Brandon marries Brenda; even the last shot of the series is of him about to mount his new wife, and it cuts to the closing logo right before that. Diff'rent Strokes got no proper ending, nor did Silver Spoons; Facts of Life got a finale by default because NBC didn't pick up the backdoor pilot/spin-off for Lisa Whelchel, Seth Green and Mayim Bialik that would have excluded everyone else, even Mackenzie Astin.

Married With Children didn't really end in the proper sense. The last season was kind of a mess anyway; they changed writers and producers, and Fox moved their time slot three times. Ed O'Neill had to learn about the cancellation from fans of the show he met in person!

No proper send off for Bonanza, after 14 years it was just cancelled with no real finale.

Gilligans Island. Of course, the cast and Sherwood Shwartz was assured a 4th season by CBS, which was canceled at the last minute, thanks to the wife of the new CBS exec, who loved Gun Smoke. Buy if GI did have one, maybe there would have been a proper ending.

n, it wasn't the wife of a CBS exec who loved "GUNSMOKE" and caused the cancelation of GI; it was the PRESIDENT of CBS who loved "GUNSMOKE" and had CBS renew it which caused the cancelation of GI and a show called "RUN BUDDY RUN".
