Question Best Final Episode?

What is sitcom, or sitcoms, had the best final episode, that left you crying, or feeling Hey, they did an awesome job, or damn, I am going to miss this show, because the characters became part of you in a way, or like family?

Newhart has to be the funniest, most clever finale I've ever seen.

"Newhart" and I actually also enjoyed the final "Mad About You".The finale "Seinfeld" was the WORST!

Tonight is the series finale of "Just Shoot Me".Will it make the list? We'll see....

Ally McBeal had the best final episode, imo. It was sad but it was great to see Richard getting married to Liza. I also enjoyed seeing the return of Georgia, Billy, and Renee.

The best final episode of all time is "Full House". I saw the 2-part finale when Michelle fell and hurt her head while riding a horse. After that, Michelle met the other Michelle that they looked identical for the part in which the Olsen Twins played together to regain her consciousness and at the end, they had such precious moments and their upclose family. I saw that on TBS last year as well as the marathon on WB11 back in June.

Golden Girls!! Who didn't laugh with tears in their eyes when Dorothy kept running back into the house?

Newhart-bringing Emily back was hands down, PURE GENIUS!!

I also liked how they ended Wings, with Helen finally being able to follow her dream of playing the cello in the orchestra.

If I had to choose a best final episode I have to say the Fresh Pri nce of Belair.

I think the best finale episode of a sitcom is "The Last Show" (#168) of Mary Tyler Moore. That particular episode was beautifully written and had many touching moments.

Others worth mentioning:
- The Wonder Years
- Happy Days
- Three's Company
- The Lucy Show
