Futurama has nailed two out of its four finales. “The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings” seemed impossible to beat, but holy shit, “Meanwhile” pulled it off.
Or a show that got better just before it was canceled. Entreprise is a good example of a show that was just finding its voice just before the end. Even on this graph, the last season has some lows, including the finale of course, but it’s more consistent than the first seasons.
The thing about House is that it had been bad for 3 seasons (and that’s being generous) before the finale. Does it really count as a bad finale if the series was already falling apart?
I absolutely loved that season. It was something fresh, a new way to see how Gregory handles the outside world without losing his wits when the chips are down.
I have to say “All Good Things” (the TNG finale) was pretty decent. Though the rest of season 7 just felt like they had run out of ideas and were raiding the reject pile from previous seasons.
This is nice, but I’d like more to see the opposite, where the series went out on a perfect note. Like Breaking Bad or M*A*S*H (imho).
It was pure fan service but both Parks and Recreation as well as Schitt’s Creek can go on that list.
The most recent Futurama series ending was 10/10.
They brought it back again but whatever that show is goated

Perhaps I’m the exception for loving every episode; haven’t noticed any degradation in quality whatsoever.
Oh, I thought it was going downhill once he went to rehab. I stopped watching after he went to prison.

Star Trek TNG
I like TNG a lot but I think the last season was the second worst season after only the first season. Peak TNG was season 4-5 IMO.
