Line 103:
** ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', having dealt with the Dominion conflict for five seasons and Sisko's Emissary role for all seven, wrapped up both stories back to back in the finale (and moved about half the cast off the station to boot).
** ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' had Picard traveling back to Season 1 and forward into the future, meeting dead and departed crew members, seeing his friends grow old, witnessing the dawn of life on Earth, making causality his bitch, having a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] three times over, saving the whole of reality from an anomaly that threatens to destroy time, proving both his worth and the worth of the human species to Q, changing his crew's future for the better, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|playing poker]].
* ''[[WCW]] Monday Nitro'''s final episode was the "Night of Champions", which would see all the belts defended for the final time in WCW, as well as have the wrestlers talking about what WCW meant to them and where they would go from here. The final match of the night was [[Ric Flair]] vs. [[Wrestler/Sting (wrestling)|Sting]], a fitting end as the two had had many storied feuds in WCW, even before ''Nitro'' went on the air. The last thing to happen on Nitro (in a simulcast with ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'') was Shane McMahon's announcement that he had bought WCW and was going to war with the [[WWE|WWF]].
* Many seasons of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' end on a grand finale, usually following an episode that had very little relevance to the overall arc, leading to a somewhat hilarious incongruity of, say, ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' where a battle against the random [[Monster of the Week]] was immediately followed by what many fans consider to be the definitive ''Power Rangers'' finale, wrapping up no less than six seasons of stories, wiping out every major villain the series had ever had by that point, and showcasing the heroic sacrifice of Zordon to make all of the above happen.
* The ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (TV series)|Honey I Shrunk the Kids]]'' TV series ends after 3 seasons with the episode "Honey, I Shrink, Therefore I Am". After the shrink ray has been downplayed since season 2, it finally appears for the finale as Amy accidentally gets shrunken again. Meanwhile, Chief McKenna wants to propose to Trudi, but fears that she doesn't love him as much as he does her, and she thinks the same thing. In the end, Amy is brought back to normal size with Wayne's help, The Chief works up to courage to propose to Trudi, Diane announces that {{spoiler|she's pregnant (most likely with Adam from the movie sequels),}} and they all live happily ever after... {{spoiler|and then, they all get shrunken.}}
