The Top Ten
1 Breaking Bad Breaking Bad is an American crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. The show originally aired on the AMC network for five seasons, from January 20, 2008, to September 29, 2013.

Breaking Bad is by far the best television series of all time and I gotta say, episode 62 was the best series finale I ever watched and never forget and I like how Season 5: Part I and II became an improver for the whole series. To be honest, I enjoyed the first half of the fifth season better than the fourth, but the second half, I enjoyed it much better. from a scale of 1-100, I would give each half a score 99 out of 100.

The title of the episode felina means this show blood meth and tears people who know chemistry will understand

It did not confuse like the sopranos finale
it did not suck like the dexter finale
it was the way I wanted it to perfect

Best Series Ever Watched!

This show made me laugh more than any show, and it made me cry more than any show. The ending did no less.

So heartbreaking, but it is the perfect finale.

4 Lost Lost is an American television drama series that originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, over six seasons, comprising a total of 121 episodes.

Best episode of any show in the world.

5 Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts, known as "bending". This show is often seen as one of the greatest cartoons of all time and is commonly thought to be an anime.

I love this show so much it was perfection to me. It has grown a lot from the first season to the last. I enjoyed that we could see the characters growing from the first episode to the last. The series finale of avatar, sozins comet, was absolutely amazing from the way the writers plotted it out and the bending sequences displayed like the fight between Aang and ozai or the final agni kai of zuko and azula. It was just amazing and breathtaking.

This show is just amazing downright amazing, it has so many great elements and it tackled its bad rap by being a "nickelodeon" show by not only having one of the best finales of all time but by being one of the best shows of all time

Dude this animated series finale is the best of them all.

17 Star Wars: The Clone Wars Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an American 3D CGI animated television series created by George Lucas and produced by Lucasfilm Animation with the division Lucasfilm Animation Singapore, Lucasfilm and CGCG Inc.

Glad to see this is getting some recognition on here. Though, a compelling argument could be made to put this like top 5 honestly (especially with some of the shows that somehow made it pretty high on this list). I'm sure the only reason it's this low is because it's still recent, animated, and doesn't have the popularity of some of these other shows. But I think it's impressive that an animated show (that far too many people still think is for kids) pulled off one of the best TV show endings in history. And it's some of the best Star Wars content ever conceived. Hats off to Dave Filoni for surpassing all expectations with his Cartoon Network/Disney show, when so many other "adult" shows totally botched their endings. Like a certain show that ended also in the spring season just one year before this one..

The finale was some of the best Star Wars content out there!
