30 Days of TV Meme - Day 22

[xlivvielockex]

This is such a toss up for me because I think there were three recent series finales lately that were just so satisfying to audience members that they have to go in my favorites.

Pushing Daisies
Ugly Betty
Nip/Tuck

Now all three of these have the same thing in common. 1. They were a great, respectful end to the shows (not a big fuck you networks for canceling me!) 2. They left things way open for the fanfic writers 3. And in being open, they left opportunities for most ships. These three left me with a "Now THAT is how you do a series finale!"

Now, if you want to talk about GREAT series finales, not just favorites, I think it has to go to another three.

Seinfeld
The Sopranos
Friends

There is a reason these three are still talked about to this day.

But my ALL time hands down favorite series finale is:

Six Feet Under

From start to finish, I was crying my heart out over this one. Just to see the incredible journeys of the characters, how they progressed in the future, as Claire goes off in her own life. It's heartwrenching, amazing, and just all together breathtaking. The last six minutes are THE BEST six minutes of television I have ever witnessed in my life. HBO can do great tv, that is for sure. :) (And just trying to find those last six minutes, watching it again, I started to cry)
