Of all the shows I've seen to the end, Monk is the only one I can think of whose ending provided closure and didn't feel rushed or jarring. Fringe looks like it's building up to a good end though.
Discuss shows that ended well, and feel free to post the ending if you can find it.
No clip, but the incredible closing song from Monk, by [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTM6mmAqRwA]Randy Newman[/url].

Top of my head, Scrubs Rescue Me
-
House M.D.
-
1. MASH 2. FMA: Brotherhood 3. Serial Experiments Lain's was trippy, but good 4. Scrubs The ending to House didn't do it for me, I was disappoint.

Unlike most people, I liked the Sopranos ending. It left most people infuriated with the fact that you really have no idea what happens to the Family, which I thought fitted perfectly.

Blackadder Goes Forth ;_;7

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kciduoyreksewmai ashes to ashes[/quote] Wow, the moment i saw this thread i was thinking of that, i honestly didnt think anyone would know it on this forum. Amazing series, that and Life on mars, my music library grew exponentially after watching both. And so did the amount of insult i learned from Gene Hunt.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

That IS an awful ending. Look up the original one on Youtube, it's one of the best endings ever IMO.[/quote] The shows seem really similar after reading a synopsis. Even the endings were nearly identical until Sam suddenly wakes up on a spaceship and it turns out the characters are crewmen. It was just a giant slap in the face. Just watched the ending...holy crap, is that the Master from Doctor Who? [Edited on 11.18.2012 2:10 PM PST]

I really enjoyed Battlestar Galactica's (rebooted series) finale.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Murcielago00 I liked [i]That 70s Show[/i]'s finale. Last half-minute couldn't have ended better.[/quote] That's true. It gave a true impression of characters moving on with their lives. They were no longer that group of teenagers huddled around a basement table smoking weed. They had careers, goals, ambitions. And to top it all off, the 70s ended. That 70s show: show of the year, all years. [Edited on 11.18.2012 2:05 PM PST]

I've never had the patience to watch an entire TV series, so no, I guess not.

By the time a show reaches a conclusion, its usually gone stale anyway.
