4. THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW
(1970-1977)

It was a weird bit of irony with The Mary Tyler Moore Show's notable finale: The new owner of WJM-TV fired everyone in the news operation — except, and inexplicably, the always-idiotic Ted Baxter (Ted Knight). (How's that for a final bit of comedy?) The tears flowed, though, as the cast gathered for the now-iconic group hug and, afterward, when the show's star Mary Tyler Moore introduced the series' seven regulars as ''the best cast ever.'' Awww.

Do you agree? Disagree? Should it have been higher on the list or lower?

I agree that it was a great finale... one of the only watchable ones out there. I would have to know what the others are though to know whether or not I agree with its ranking. I guess maybe it should be second, with first being Newhart's finale.
