Of the TV series which I have seen, I can think of only two at the moment which in my opinion had both a good series opening show and a good series finale. Those were 'Frasier' and 'Eureka.'
When I saw the thread title the first show I thought of was Frasier.
Not as good as the above, but also doing a good job of bookending the series was "Friends."
"Seinfeld" would be the opposite...an awkward start and a very disappointing finish, but great in between.
The reason I thought about this was because this morning, Lifetime, which shows 'Frasier' in the mornings had the series finale followed by the series opening, so I had the opportunity to compare them together.

Which shows in your opinion had both?
eureka is one of those shows where half way thru they decided to go another route and hit the reset button. I liked the show overall and liked how they tied an event I'm the pilot to the finale
I think when its all said and done person of interest will be a show with an excellent beginning and end. so far a great pilot along with great mid and season finales
of course shows like lost and fringe despite some stumblings and course corrections along the way had great starts and finishes
I replied earlier but post disappeared into the ether
Newhart. You get welcomed to the weirdness of that Vermont town.. and the ending was the best EVER.
Mm... I don't know.. the last episode wasn't all that great.. it was the last 2 minutes that were the best.
M*A*S*H didn't have a great first episode. I can't think of what the first episode of Mary Tyler Moore was.. Good finale, though.
Of course.. This is all opinion.. And attitudes change over time.. I mean, when I first saw the first and last episodes of Star Trek:The Next Generation.. Well, at least the first.. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Looking back, 25 someodd years later.. What a steaming pile that was.. lol
And, if you ask my sister.. The latest episode of Doctor Who is the best ever.
Ah.. Here's two.. Both BBC shows. Spaced and The IT Crowd. Both of them had terrific first and last episodes.. IT Crowd moreso, because Spaced didn't leave you with a feeling of completion.. It's like it needed one more season to tell the entire story. IT Crowd went out with an excellent final episode.
If you haven't seen the final episode of IT Crowd.. Called "The Last Byte"..
Thought of another..."Northern Exposure"opened strong and an excellent final.
