Seriously, the last episode of the series was sadly bloated and oversized, like Debra Messing in the fat suit during the opening dream sequence.

 Series wrap-up: "7th Heaven" | Salon Arts & Entertainment
Season finales serve up so many cliffhangers, tragedies and twists that they often end up doing exactly the opposite of what they should; instead of teasing you on to the next season, they leave you exasperated, rolling your eyes, wondering why you ever watched the stupid show in the first place.
The final episodes of family dramas -- as with many sitcoms -- are always filled to the brim with heartwarming surprises, flashbacks and (of course!) the ever-pleasing reunion of characters past: Last night's last episode of the WB's "7th Heaven" was no different.
The series was beloved by conservatives not just because it focused on a Christian family and counseled against drug use but also because the look of the show was humble.

 Digg - Angry fans crash HBO website after series finale
dclowd9901, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I think the problem with a lot of series finales in TV shows is that the audience is looking to the show to deliver an ultimate truth and conclusion that the show was supposed to bring them to, and, sadly, most shows aren't written with that ending truth in mind.

La serie que se escribe en la actualidad tiene previsto su estreno en la cadena Fox el próximo otoño de 2008.
La serie que emitirá su segunda temporada en EEUU este año, se estrenó en España a través de Fox que la emite cada Jueves; la verdad es que aunque la premisa de partida no es mala; Men in Trees se estanca demasiado deprisa convirtiéndose en una serie previsible y bastante aburrida.
Pushing Daisies de la que ya hemos hablado en otras ocasiones en Series Adictos y que recientemente consiguió que la ABC le encargara una temporada completa, es una serie que desde el principio te atrapa ya que destila en todas sus imágenes un estilismo propio muy visual y característico.

 DVD Verdict Review - Dawson's Creek: The Series Finale
Final Destination), who is a teacher at Capeside's high school and involved in a clandestine relationship with…ah, but that would be telling.
The most notable difference in these scenes from the final version of the show is the casting of Dawson's father—the role was recast and reshot, apparently because the original actor wasn't quite studly enough.
Series finales are not made for critics; they're made for the fans, and as such, Dawson's swan song might come across as a bit maudlin—okay, a lot maudlin—to any but the most zealous admirer of the series.

That was the challenge facing Joss Whedon and his team Tuesday in the final episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

 Finale wrap-up: "Gilmore Girls" | Salon Arts & Entertainment
In response, I'd mount an impassioned defense of the series' many charms, among them its, well, charm; its witty, brainiac female characters and their emotionally complex relationships; hypercaffeinated repartee worthy of Hepburn and Tracy; and a pop-culture literacy that revealed itself in tiny, often hilarious (if you got the joke) ways.
The long-simmering flirtation between single mom Lorelai and her cantankerous best friend, Luke, had always served as the show's binding tension, and the consummation of their endlessly deferred ardor signaled disaster, harking back to classic TV series (most famously "Cheers" and "Frasier") sunk by the release of sexual tension between key characters.
Finally, the whole project was shot to hell when Sherman-Palladino and her husband/co-writer, Daniel Palladino, left the show.

 Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale (HBO) - Reviews from Metacritic
The 80-minute finale is the perfect cap to the series, an ugly yet emotionally resonant morality play about the price of selling out.
The finale was devoid of laugh out loud moments and I felt depressed everytime Ricky's lady-friend came on with that dreary music.
Overall, the finale was unmemorable and is disappointing to a fan like me who has watched the show since it's initial release.

 "A Very Special Episode: ‘Everwood’ Series Finale Has the Rite Stuff - Forward.com"   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the routinely heartrending “Everwood,” every episode is packed with life-cycle events, and as the series ends June 5, something as clearcut as the town’s first major Jewish occasion pales amid other characters’ plotlines dealing with life and (literally) death.
At the candle-lighting ceremony in the June 5 finale, Delia speaks about how she and her mother used to talk about what Delia’s bat mitzvah day would be like.
A little obvious, it’s still a nice nod to continuity, and a bit of closure: The show is literally ending with Delia finally taking her official place as a Jewish girl (though whether she would have ever wound up with a nice Jewish boy in a place like this will remain an open question).

In their final adventure, the bond between the pair grows even stronger, as the price for success may be the ultimate one.
During the course of the series there was a lot of fan speculation about Xena's sexuality, which was alluded to, but never confirmed one way or the other; this final episode clears this up, as well as many other details that have arisen over the years.
The grande finale to one of television's most popular action adventure series is presented in an expanded form here, putting the director's touch on an ending that completes the journey that began six seasons prior.

Few television programs have released their finales alone for repeat consumption, and with good reason: Too often, the last show is more of a going-away party than a truly satisfying dénouement.
Xena (Lucy Lawless) was introduced on the Kevin Sorbo series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as a warrior with a questionable history, a studded breastplate, and a hilarious, er, fierce yodel.
The spin-off series began with her renouncing her dark side and venturing off to do good with her faithful sidekick, Gabrielle (Renée O'Connor) in tow.
