Happened to catch the series finale of Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier and now Raymond. Of course, inadvertently, also of American Dreams.

All of the series finales were a let down. In one way you’d want that the series finale has a lot of drama or a lot of humor or something, but typically, it is a mish-mash of everything and is preceded with all the sentimental stuff from the cast and the writers and the producers.

American Dreams on the other hand was different. No one knew that it could be the series finale, and hence the writers and the creator put in a lot of drama in it and it did leave a lot of open plotlines therein, to make it possible to come back the following season. So I am going to discount that show/series finale.

Now that I think about it, the one show where the series finale was not that bad, was Sex & The City.

But overall, series finales are best left for recordings or DVD’s.
