00:00Well, this may not come as a surprise to any of you, but I'm ready to go.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the series finales that have been rewatched over and
00:14over again.
00:15Consider this your official spoiler warning.
00:22Number 10. MASH
00:24It is the most watched series finale of all time.
00:28When MASH ended after 11 seasons, 105.9 million tuned in.
00:34Tomorrow, the tents of the 4077 will be coming down. For good.
00:43For an awful long time, we've been living together, eating together.
00:49Titled Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen, the Alan Alda-directed episode saw the staff of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital
00:58depart their campsite as the end of the Korean War draws near.
01:02Like all episodes of MASH, the finale is a high-wire act balancing raw emotions and dark humor.
01:16A true dramedy, it's not the easiest rewatch.
01:20However, its heart is what beckons audiences to revisit, proving that laughter really is the best medicine.
01:35Number 9. Cheers
01:37It's time for me to move on, you know, face new challenges.
01:41And Diane said she'd get me a job at the juice bar in her health club.
01:45It's the series where everybody knows your name.
01:48For 11 seasons, the beloved sitcom Cheers welcomed us into its bar week after week.
01:54You can never be unfaithful to your one true love.
01:57You always come back to her.
01:59When it was finally time for the show to close up shop, an audience estimated by NBC to be 93
02:04million gathered around to say farewell.
02:08In the episode, Rebecca gets married and Diane makes her long-awaited return, reuniting with Sam, who eventually calls things
02:15off to stay with his one true love, his bar.
02:19Sorry, we're closed.
02:21Whether you're seeking some laughs, some comfort, or both, this finale will always be a welcomed rewatch.
02:29Number 8. The Shield
02:32Corruption, tension, immorality.
02:34These are the key ingredients that made up the world of The Shield.
02:39I didn't...
02:41I didn't get to say goodbye to my children.
02:44You say goodbye to them the moment you shot another cop in the face.
02:46From 2002 to 2008, the FX series followed a fictionalized unit of the Los Angeles Police Department as they go
02:54to extreme and illegal lengths to fight crime.
02:56During the finale, Detective Vic Mackey will do anything to maintain his position, even at the expense of his colleagues.
03:04There's some pretty heavy and tragic outcomes for the characters like Shane and Ronnie.
03:08And Vic ends up losing his family to witness protection and being taken off the streets, where he ends up
03:14pushing papers.
03:15All those busts.
03:19All those confessions you got in this room.
03:22Illegal or otherwise.
03:26All the drugs you got off the street tonight for ice.
03:31You must be very proud of yourself.
03:34Number 7. Six Feet Under
03:36Over the course of five seasons, HBO's Six Feet Under depicted the challenging subject of death with heart and humor.
03:44The premise followed the ongoings of a Los Angeles funeral home run by a family known as the Fishers.
03:50Oh, I want to take a picture of everyone.
03:56You can't take a picture of this.
03:58It's already gone.
04:00Staying true to its form, the series ends with a beautifully crafted montage that flash forward to reveal how each
04:06character eventually dies.
04:08As Sia's song Breathe Me plays over top, you're not only saying goodbye to the show, but also these individual
04:15characters.
04:16It's an effective moment that makes it a satisfying ending to a show fans love to watch over and over.
04:30Number 6. Breaking Bad
04:33In 2013, TV watchers waited with bated breath to see how this television phenomenon was going to wrap up.
04:40In episode 16 of Breaking Bad's fifth season, Walter White attempts to tie up loose ends.
04:53After seeing his family one last time, freeing Jesse and killing Jack, Walter is accidentally wounded.
05:00Eventually, he succumbs to his injuries.
05:03Passing away in his cherished lab.
05:13It's a poetic moment that suits the show's dark tone.
05:16Although it's a bitter ending for everyone's favorite anti-hero, this near-perfect episode is highly rewatchable.
05:23As was the finale of spinoff Better Call Saul, which aired nine years later.
05:29But with good behavior?
05:33Who knows?
05:37Number 5. The Good Place
05:51This comedy was centered around the idea of endings, so it's fitting that its own conclusion was pitch-perfect.
05:59For four seasons, The Good Place focused on a cast of characters existing in the afterlife.
06:04With that afterlife changing over time.
06:07To me, remembering moments with you is the same as living in them.
06:23Everyone from Eleanor to Chidi to Tahani to Michael received a completion that was tailored for them.
06:29Poignant and bittersweet, the series' fond farewell made us laugh, cry, and reflect.
06:36It's still a comfort show for fans, and its finale is the cherry on top of this great series.
06:42Which ended in a good place.
06:45Oh, wow.
06:46I think I know what this is.
06:49Oh, oh my, oh my, look at that.
06:54Oh, thank you.
06:56Thank you so very, very much.
06:59Number 4. Avatar The Last Airbender
07:03This show hits a little bit different for millennials.
07:06For anyone growing up in the 2000s, Avatar The Last Airbender was one of the coolest shows on the air.
07:12A fusion of mind-blowing animation and masterful storytelling, kids were glued to their screens whenever it was on.
07:19After three seasons, the series completes its journey with a full-throttle battle.
07:23In Sozin's Comet, Part 4, the protagonist, Aang, takes down Fire Lord Ozai, victoriously ending the Hundred Years' War.
07:33Today, this war is finally over.
07:36It's a triumphant moment made even better by how every single character has their own moment.
07:41Totally nostalgic, it's no wonder millennials love to revisit it.
07:57Number 3. Seinfeld
07:59People tend to be divided on this finale, but that doesn't mean it's not rewatchable.
08:04I can think of nothing more fitting than for the four of you to spend a year removed from society.
08:14When Seinfeld left the air, audiences weren't too hyped about the show ending with the foursome going to jail for
08:20breaking a good Samaritan law
08:21after they didn't help a carjacking victim.
08:24The nearly hour-long finale is split into two episodes and features surprise cameos from some of the series' most
08:31treasured characters.
08:32The second button is the key button.
08:34It literally makes or breaks the shirt.
08:36Look at it, it's too high.
08:38It's in no man's land.
08:42Haven't we had this conversation before?
08:44You think?
08:45It's a wacky premise that stays true to its sitcom tone.
08:49Sure, it might not have worked for everyone, but fans will always come back to say goodbye to the New
08:55York 4 time and time again.
08:57You suck, I'm gonna cut you!
08:59Hey, I don't come down to where you work and knock the license plate out of your hand.
09:02Number 2. The Sopranos
09:04It was the finale that prompted panic.
09:07Famously, The Sopranos ends with a cut to black that actually convinced viewers it was a technical glitch.
09:13In the midst of death, we are in life, eh?
09:16Or is it the other way around?
09:17The finale scene shows protagonist Tony Soprano and his family gathering at a diner.
09:22Throughout the scene, there are cuts to suspicious-looking individuals giving the impression that it might not end well for
09:28the mob boss.
09:29I really can't reveal much more.
09:32Right.
09:33Even though we're paying.
09:34As Journey's Don't Stop Believin' plays on, the anticipation builds and then suddenly...
09:39Pulse, leaving us hanging on by a thread.
09:42A perfect cliffhanger, fans return to watch this finale to hunt for any hints as to what really happens after
09:48the cut.
09:49While there are many theories, we think it's fun that everyone has their own interpretation.
09:58Don't Stop!
09:59Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:03The Wire.
10:04Considered one of the best series ever, this finale is something to behold.
10:09Let's go.
10:16The Leftovers.
10:18This series' life was short, but nonetheless impactful.
10:22I'm here.
10:29Stranger Things.
10:31Conformity Gate encouraged fans to re-watch this finale.
10:35It's just a theory, right?
10:37How do we know it's true?
10:40We don't.
10:44Not for sure.
10:47But I choose to believe that it is.
10:50Justified.
10:51The way this show ended was totally justified.
10:54There is one thing I wander back to.
10:59We dug coal together.
11:05That's right.
11:07Scrubs.
11:08Anytime you need a laugh, this finale is the perfect medicine.

11:38Number 1.
11:40Friends.
11:41It's the one where it all ends.
11:43For a decade, friends made us laugh, cry, and cheer.
11:47In 2004, its finale drew in millions of loyal fans for one last round at Central Perk.
11:53At least I won't spend the rest of my life wondering what would have happened.
11:56Where is my coat?
11:57You didn't bring one!
11:59Monica and Chandler move to the Burbs and welcome twins.
12:02Ross and Rachel finally get back together.
12:04Did you get off the plane?
12:06Did you get off the plane?
12:09I got off the plane.
12:14Phoebe makes plans to start a family with her hubby, Mike, and Joey stays in New York,
12:18continuing to pursue his dreams.
12:21Until his self-titled spinoff.
12:22But that's a whole other topic.
12:25Leaving our best pals behind was an emotional rollercoaster yet checked all the boxes of a satisfying ending.
12:31It's like a warm hug that we'll gladly revisit any time.
