Good series rarely face a good ending...

I don't remember it exactly, but it seemed like Quantum Leap had a good finale.

That one was pretty good. In the end, they do the flash thing and Sam's sidekick guy with the hand pc goes to walk thru a canon and bumps into it. In other words, they have switched places.

Married with Children got the shaft. I'm shocked they haven't done a TV or major release movie for the "finale" of that series by now.
The Shield (pure greatness) wraps up this coming season. Really can't predict what will happen to Vic, tho. . .

Seinfeld finale was a flashback heavy episode. I think that disqualifies it, no matter how relevant the flashbacks were.

No, the Seinfeld finale was the one where they end up in prison, I don't think it had any flashbacks. Just before the finale, they aired "The Clip Show" which consisted of a whole bunch of clips from previous episodes, but it wasn't actually the finale.
I don't remember it exactly, but it seemed like Quantum Leap had a good finale. Also, I didn't watch the show, but Newhart had one of the most famous finales of any show.

The finale was a court trial in which a bunch of previous one-bit characters come to testify against the character of the main characters. They would hit the stand, then play the clip they were in. At the end, Seinfeld & co. get locked up for a year.

Right, they had a whole bunch of cameos during the trial, but I don't remember them doing a flashback for each character. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they didn't. Anyone else remember the episode and want to chime in?
edit* I just watched the finale on youtube and it looks like I was wrong, they did have a flashback for about every third witness. In total there was around 6 or 7 flashbacks and they only lasted 5-10 seconds each, so I still wouldn't call it a flashback heavy episode.

I am going to get so jerked around for admitting my loyalty to this show, in all probability, but:
Caroline In the City with Lea Thompson also got the shaft...or more specifically the fans did. She was getting married to another guy, when the true love of her life, Richard (her business partner) shows up at the church after realizing how much he loved her....the show ended with him looking down on her and her looking up and him as the praeacher uttered the words "If anyone has anything against this union, speak now or forever hold your peace." There was never a follow up episdoe, and we will never know what finally happened.
Worse still, or just as bad, was the finale of Dark Angel. "Freak Nation" ended with the "Eyes Only" guy (god, I've forgotten his name) saying to Jessica Alba's Max, "Now look what you've done" as the mutants from Manticore established their section of the "city." So much of that show never played out. And let's not even talk about NBC's "Surface," which drew me in only to let me down by getting cancelled.

That wasn't the last episode, awesome though it was. And the episode just before it showed what an amazing actor Bakula is when he isn't working with crap writers & producers like on ST: Enterprise. :hissy:
Almost every episode of Quantum Leap was good, since it was basically "Touched by an Angel" meets "Kung Fu", morality that kicks ass! The actual series finale is the one where he jumps to his actual birthday and finds himself in a bar talking to 'God' about what his life means. The small town that he is in meanwhile has a devastating cave-in where people get trapped, but unlike every other episode Sam is *not* the guy who saves the day. It's a really great episode, but it probably makes little sense if you haven't watched at least half a season or so to really understand the characters. It's also a very sad episode if you happen to know the super secret that Al was made to never tell Sam (that you see in the episode where they 'swap places' mentioned above).
