The Shield
It's just a perfect way to end the show and reminds me of one particular Undertale quote.

My answer will always be All Good Things, the Star Trek TNG finale.
You've got:
-An appropriately twisty science fiction plot with time travel weirdness
-That also simultaneously provides closure on the future of a half dozen beloved characters
-While also itself marking a discrete step forward for at least a few characters to that future
Its everything you could want from the end of a series

The Shield is the best. Holy shit! at that episode.
The Wire would be close behind. Its last season was somewhat lacking, but the final moments were perfection.

Unfortunately, it is no longer the end of the series.
Martin Lawrence Show actually got me. Use to always watch that show as a kid and patterned so many mannerisms after him. Yeah there was drama and it was kind of sudden but it felt real. Really a shame such a groundbreaking show. Probably have seen the entire series about 10-15 times now between syndication and the DVD's.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Avatar The Last Airbender was pretty satisfying.

Malcolm in the Middle
Offered a sweet $200k/year job out of highschool after a lifetime of struggling and pain. His mother refuses.
"That's absurd, you actually want me to be President?"
Mother : "Look me in the eyes and tell me you can't do it."
"...."
The whole series, years of showing the crap he has to suffer in the name of making him a better person - someone who would look after those constantly crapped on - to end with him begrudgingly head to college working spare time as a janitor to work his way to President.... It's amazing.
Parks and Recreation had a similar sense of what we could have if we got someone in power who actually cared.
I will agree to that - I teared up at Michael returning with "That's what she said" - but I still largely hate how neatly everyone got their perfect life, even down to Stanley living in a lighthouse. Smh
Yes. Too bad Korra was far less so.

That ending was stupid. I remember people saying "there's no way that this kid is
Jimmy's son and kills Nucky
The more time passes, the more I think The Sopranos had the best ending. It's unique and people will talk about it forever.

LOST. Was even better on a rewatch
This, nothing will probably ever compare to the way I felt first watching the series finale.

Some good ones have been mentioned, but I think I'll go with Person of Interest. Ending was pitch perfect.
Supernatural's was really good too, if you consider Season 5's finale as the series finale Kripke intended it to be.
Assuming you're not joking, most GAFers will rag on you for this.
But I'm with you. I really enjoyed it.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. The one-hour special series finale was perfect.
I fucking wish we would have gotten the sequel series set in high school.

This may be too young for GAF, but I don't think the ending to Newhart will ever be topped.
The entire series was a dream of Bob Newhart's character from his previous sitcom.

a thing that does not exist.
CTRL + F = Person of Interest
Yep, POI was perfect. Probably one of the best endings I have ever seen in a TV show.
