Although it was on TV a few years back, I never got round to watch it but I finally have just finished watching Six Feet Under and wow! what an ending.

A cracking ending to one of the greatest tv shows ever made.

It's got me thinking of TV shows with fantastic endings..

Three more hours of Battlestar Galactica. Hope everything gets resolved and it's good.

I always loved the way "Cheers" ended. It basically didn't end - it's just no longer being filmed. I hated the way "Seinfeld" ended, although it's grown on me a little over the years having seen in so many times in syndication now.

The greatest ending ever belongs to one of the worst shows:

Stripmall - Was on comedy central for two years.

At the end of the second season they killed all the characters.

the best ending to a television series was the last episode of the Wire. If you havent watched every episode of the wire on HBO, you need to watch. The last episode did such a great job making the viewers realize the essence of the show. It shows about the cycle of life on the streets and is a great anology of life in general. I would love some imput on this last episode from anyone that watched the Wire. It also did a great job of showing how similar the drug dealers, the police offiicers, and the politicians really are, and how their chain of command is very very similar. Just a great show and I cant say enough about it.

Interesting. I'd consider M*A*S*H (before it moved from comedy to social commentary) to be one of the greatest shows of all time, but the final episode was probably the single biggest disappointment I've ever seen on the tube.

Interesting.

I was such a big fan of the show and at the time some of the commentary was lost on me, I was only 17 at the time. I still watch it today and can look past the social stuff and still laugh at the comedy.

Although it was on TV a few years back, I never got round to watch it but I finally have just finished watching Six Feet Under and wow! what an ending.

I cried the first time it aired and more times watching it again. Its on youtube and its fantastic. The best 10 minutes to ever air on tv.

It shocks me that more people didnt watch SFU. Shocks and saddens.

I remember when it was on TV back home that I used to play soccer when it came on but ended up getting the box set on the 'chance' that I might like it as I liked Sopranos and the reviews it received.

Amazing program, really past few days, I cannot stop thinking about this program and I'm 26 years old. Glad there is another fan on the forum

I remember really enjoying the last episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show, although I watched it when I was 10,11. I can't remember what the last episode was anymore.

The last episode of Buffy:TVS was fantastic. I'm only a few episodes away from the last episode of Angel, and I'm told I'll like that ending, too.

The Wire:

I loved the ending too, with McNutty stepping out of the car, taking a look back. The cyclic nature of the beast with Michael taking Omar's place. "That money - some of it needs to be mine." Classic. Dukie's descent into a drugs, Bubbles' ascent out of drugs. The initially well meaning but corrupt mayor becoming governor. Daniels becoming a defender. Wow. The Wire - some of that show needs to be watched again.

Lt Daniels is pretty good in Fringe, but while initially intriguing, Fringe isn't enough to keep my attention.

Seinfeld / M*A*S*H:

Disappointing endings, both. M*A*S*H was a little too syrupy and Seinfeld had too much to live up to. Alan Alda had a good role in the ending of West Wing though.

Battlestar Galactica:

They really drew out the last two episodes. There's lots to resolve in the next three hours. Who wins out? Cavil or the Human/Cylon alliance? Will Boomer try and redeem herself? Starbuck - what does her harbinger of death mean? How will Galactica go out in blaze of glory? I want to frakking know!

The Finale was funny, but it wasn't a good ending. The content itself was gold, though.

How can you not love Seinfeld! It was so Seinfeld. I was always disappointed that Kramer got hurt and couldn't continue his golf career.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
