St. Elsewhere has always been (and doubtless will be) one of my top ten favorite tv shows of all time. The writing was brilliant, the stories were involving and made you wait with bated breath until the next airing. Tons of social issues, certain plot and/or characters were exasperating. etc. The standout acting kudos go to the late, great Ed Flanders (Donald Westphall) and Howie Mandel (Wayne Fiscus), who proved to me that he’s even better at drama than comedy. I L-O-V-E-D the ending. Perfect for the tone of the show, and on several other levels. I shall NEVER forget it.

Do you know how to read? This list is about shows with Dream Finales. How did you miss that?

Any show that’s only a dream is cheap. All of a sudden, none of the conflicts, drama or events that took place matter. ‘It was only a dream’ should never be used, by any show, ever. Write a real ending.

i actually didnt mind the way roseanne finished; to me (only in my opinion) it was a VERY original ending that i actually do remember ! i just wish it did nt have to end at all if ever i could relate to a tv show this was it ;they were brash rude crude and disfuntional just like life…

Yeah the UK Life on Mars ending was a bit of a letdown, in the sense that they took a pretty mundane route rather than go all scifi on us. But we’ve also had two seasons of the follow-up, Ashes to Ashes – the final episode of each one deliberately casts doubt on the Life on Mars interpretation of things. The third and last Ashes to Ashes season, due next spring, has the potential to give us the mental OTT time travel/paralled universe lunacy we didn’t get from LoM… here’s hoping!

Oh, and I didn’t take to US Life on Mars particularly but… good ending, guys, damn good ending!

“Home Improvement” is garbage.
These seem to be listings of mostly bad finales. “Dallas” had a good send-off. “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Deep Space 9″ had excellent goodbyes. “Cheers’ was good too. “Seinfeld” was one of the worst- cheap and unfunny. “Mary Tyler Moore” was a goody.

@Reese: You’re correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

Don’t you mean “having eaten bad Chinese food,” not “eated”?

Home Improvement ended in a dream where Tim and Jill moved their house to Indiana.
