To help mark the end of the 2011-2012 television season, Entertainment Weekly has published its list of the 20 Best TV Series Finales Ever. M*A*S*H ranks sixth on the list; here’s the five shows that were ranked higher:
- 6. M*A*S*H
- 5. Cheers
- 4. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
- 3. The Fugitive
- 2. St. Elsewhere
- 1. Hewhart
You can’t see the whole list anywhere because it is a slideshow, meaning you have to click through to see all twenty shows. As is often the case, a good number are from the 1990s/2000s. But not, surprisingly, in the Top Five.
I thought it’s been said Cheers and The Fugitive (along with Seinfeld and others) ranked among having the WORST series finales, not the best… I can’t keep up with these TV critics and their inconsistent flip-flop rankings, which is why the only critic I ever seriously follow is Nostalgia Critic.
Cheers beat M*A*S*H?! This is outrage!
