Does any other show end so strongly?

They should have rewrote Ozymandias slightly to tie up some loose ends and just have that be the ending. Kill Jesse in the desert with Hank, then just have Walt run off with the new identity guy. Perfect.

That's not perfect. That's just dropping everything. In fact, that leaves even more loose ends since it was established
Walt returns a year later and is up to something.
Can't stop the signal. -

Interesting, I was so sure that Walt would never
find any kind of redemption
that the ending caught me off guard.
I did like it, but it was nowhere near The Shield, which masterfully wrapped up multiple long-seeded plotlines and characters' fates, while providing what seemed like an impossibly appropriate ending for Mackey. Brilliant stuff. -

I found Six Feet Under to be a good series, but not spectacular. The thing is, the ending totally kicked my ass. Maybe the best ending of any series out there, imho. That being said, I found The Shield to be an amazing series with one amazing finale. Although I don't think the finale of The Shield is quite as good as Six Feet Under's, I think the series was better all around.
MASH would be the other I would consider to have an amazing ending, although it is more than a little dated now.

Another vote for SFU's ending here.
Sadly there aren't many good endings in tv. Two other very strong endings I can think of.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
film
End of Evangelion
Edge of Darkness
I wasn't keen on BB's ending or The Wire's or Dexter's. -

Six feet under had a good final season, and a pretty good fibale but it still wasn't as good as The Shield's.
Breaking Bad had an amazing final season and amazing finale, and it was almost step for step just like The Shield's final season. It's like the copied The Shield's blueprint on how to make a good finale.
The Wire also had a really great final season, but that show is more about the overall experience of the show as a whole. It was so consistently good throughout that it's hard to say the ending was any better than the episodes before it. -

The Sopranos. I know the show still gets a lot of hate because of the 'cut to black' thing but I think that's really idiotic. That didn't take away anything from the show, and if it ended after the scene in the nursing home, no one would be pissed.
First half of the last season was problematic, but the second half was amazing, especially those last 4 episodes.
