I also have to include Bob Newhart Show for best. I know Newhart was seen as superior, but honestly, I didn't like most of the people on Newhart. I loved many of the BNS characters and I liked the "Oklahoma" ending, especially the emotion in Suzanne Pleshette's voice.

Not a huge fan of the last years of Hill Street Blues, but I smile when I think of the scenes where Belker realized his mother, who had been his inspiration and his headache for so long, had left him a ton of money.

Best:

Family Matters: After all those years of Steve Urkel chasing Laura, that final scene of them kissing was the perfect ending. The nerd got the woman.

Growing Pain: I watched it in syndication (on Disney) b/c when it originally ran, I was just a baby, but I loved the final shot of Maggie taking the family photo from the mantle and walking around the room one final time, forever leaving behind the home where she raised Mike, Carol, and Ben.

The Parkers: A cult show to many, but the ending was good. Loved that like Urkel, Nikki got her man (Professor Ogelvee) and he married her.

Martin: Phenomenal comedy that did not get the recognition it deserved. The ending was stellar. Like Growing Pain, things came full circle for Martin as he stood in the apartment he called home for five seasons. When he scrawled "1 Luv" and "Martin" onto the wall, I was upset because this once great show was coming to an end. Great show, great ending.

Living Single: Some people think that the ending was rushed but like all my other faves, all the characters got good endings and came full circle. Overton and Synclaire were still happily married. Max & Kyle were reunited and she was pregnant. Regine got her millionaire. Khadejah was reunited with Scooter. All's Well, That Ends Well. That's how I like my endings.

Worst:

I did not care for Step By Step's ending. It didn't bring me to tears, didn't move me. Just left me blah. They wanted to sell the house but didn't. OK . . . ph34r.png

House of Payne: Just abysmal. My mom loved the show. I didn't care for it, and was not surprised. It's Tyler Perry.

Show that I loved that didn't even get an ending (b/c they were cancelled): Girlfriends, Half & Half, & Hung.

    • I would be fascinated to see the GL episode counts from that time, if they existed. Six years seems like a long time, but Reva was front burner 24/7. I don't see how she could've done episodic tv. The only breaks she really got were her maternity leaves. And it's not like even the late '90's when there were shows shooting in NY (well, mostly L&O).
    • I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.
    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..
