ER Finale Sets Off "Best And Worst" Finale Debate

Events like the "ER" finale are made for the Internet in that they inspire vigorous debate about the best and worst finales of all time. Examples here and here.

I am a big "Seinfeld" fan and agree the finale was disappointing. Face it, though: who COULD have lived up to the hype leading to that finale? Also: think of the number of episodes where the show took amazing chances and pulled it off. I forgive the one gamble that didn't pay off.

I also didn't get enraged by the "Sopranos" finale. If a show is about following characters over the course of their lives, why does a show need to come to a dramatic finish? Every issue in our own lives isn't wrapped up in dramatic fashion. Why not believe that we just stopped following the characters--and their lives go on?

Best finale ever: "Newhart".
