The Lost ending actually redeemed the whole series for me.
MASH -- I had disliked the show for about six or seven years by the time it finally went off the air.
Seinfeld was fitting, given the shallowness of the four characters, but I was kinda hoping for more.
I kinda miss when shows just ... ended. No fanfare, no tidy little bows, no overhyped finale.
Seinfeld and Sopranos I agree with.. Just horrible.. The Seinfeld, whole thing was bad.. Sopranos.. That cut to black killed it. Final episode was pretty good right up to that point. that cut to black killed not only a good finale, but a good series. it was THAT bad. 10 seconds destroyed an entire series.
Mad Men.. I'll throw in the.. Disappointing pile.. Slowly paced.. Just meh. Not bad.. Just not good, either.
I will disagree with two others have mentioned.. Newhart.. Yeah, it could be looked at as a screwjob ending, but.. It was brilliant as well. MASH.. I watched it again on FX about 10 years ago, and appreciated it a little more. It tied up all the loose ends.
ALF.. I'll toss in the pile of not truly a series finale.. I think Revolution was probably the same (I actually didn't watch S2 of that, at least not yet) along with My Name Is Earl and Quantum Leap.. Those shows.. They didn't know they were being cancelled.. So, the shows were not written as series finales, even though they wound up being so.
Every Star Trek series.. I can't think of a single one of them that had a truly satisfying finale. Voyager and DS9 were the closest to being "good" and.. Really, I didn't like either. TNG's wasn't good at all, Enterprise's totally sucked. TOS didn't really get a 'finale'.
Jericho's finale was a big pile of suck, along with all the other episodes from S2. This one could go in the pile with ALF and the others above.
