During the next few weeks, we're going to say goodbye to several well-known television shows. Some will leave us with tear-soaked eyes ("The West Wing"), whereas others can't have the door slammed on them fast enough ("Joey"), and several long-forgotten friends will request one final visit ("Malcolm in the Middle," "Alias," "That '70s Show," "Will & Grace"). As we prepare to bid adieu, we thought that now is a good time to look back at the most fabulous finale episodes in TV history.
There'll be no "Seinfeld," "Sex and the City" or "Friends" here, three examples of high-profile send-offs that did little more than remind audiences that the magic was gone. As you'll see, some finale episodes came under the stress of cancellation, whereas others were a home run knocked out of the park by a successfully retiring classic. Either way, each diverse selection presents audiences with a powerful final impression of a classic TV show.
Each is worth rediscovering on DVD or, if it isn't available yet, should at least deserve an onslaught of angry fan letters to the lazy people who own the rights to them.
