interesting. Perhaps you could write 1 line describing the last scene? I was going to suggest Prince of Bel Air, but it is already on the list. I was very sad at the last scene, the family leaving the empty house.

@KirkPicard, Here's a start: The final scene of M*A*S*H depicts the camp breaking down, with units preparing to depart as the war ends. Hawkeye says his goodbyes to BJ, who leaves him a note spelled out in stones, revealing "GOODBYE," which Hawkeye initially misinterprets. The final scene of Cheers shows Sam Malone alone in the bar after all the regulars have left, refusing a late customer by simply stating, "Sorry, we're closed." He then looks around his empty bar, content, as the screen fades to black. In the two-part finale, Dr. Richard Kimble finally confronts Fred Johnson, the one-armed man, who admits to killing Kimble's wife Helen. Lt. Gerard arrives and shoots Johnson, saving Kimble's life, and a witness named Chandler confesses that he saw Johnson murder Helen Kimble. With his name cleared, an exonerated Kimble walks away from the courthouse with a silent handshake from Gerard, marking "the day the running stopped." The final scene of Seinfeld shows Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer in a jail cell after being convicted of criminal indifference for violating a Good Samaritan law. Jerry then performs a stand-up routine for the inmates, bringing the show full circle to its comedic roots, but only George and Kramer laugh. The final scene of Friends shows the six main characters in Monica and Chandler's empty apartment, reminiscing about their time there before Monica and Chandler move to the suburbs with their adopted twins. They all leave their keys on the kitchen counter and head out for one last cup of coffee, with Chandler delivering the final line, "Where?", symbolizing their transition into a new phase of their lives.

Finale of "I Dream of Jeannie" Yes, "I Dream of Jeannie" did have a finale. The final episode involves Jeannie's evil twin sister making a last attempt to steal Major Tony Nelson for herself, shortly after Tony and Jeannie get married. This episode serves as a sendoff for the main characters, wrapping up some of the ongoing storylines .

The series finale of "All in the Family" is titled "Too Good Edith". In this episode, Edith Bunker suffers a stroke, which leads to a serious health crisis for the family. The episode focuses on the emotional impact of Edith's condition on Archie and the rest of the family, highlighting the deep bond they share despite their frequent bickering and differences. The finale is notable for its more serious tone compared to the usual comedic style of the show, addressing themes of illness, vulnerability, and family support. It serves as a poignant and heartfelt conclusion to the series, emphasizing the importance of family unity in difficult times. This episode effectively wraps up the original series while setting the stage for the spin-off "Archie Bunker's Place", which continues Archie's story after Edith's departure. The finale is remembered as a fitting and respectful end to a groundbreaking sitcom that tackled many social issues with humor and heart.

Despite the fact many people didn't like the end of "Game of Thrones", I was truly ok with it. That would be my pick.
