Line 24:
* ''[[News Radio]]'' had Mr. James retiring and setting up a new station in New Hampshire. He asks Dave for one employee to take with him, and Dave without hesitation choses Matthew. The others feel sorry for Matthew and one by one they all join Jimmy. The episode ends with Dave alone at WNYX {{spoiler|...except for Matthew, who secretly stayed behind. It is implied that Dave later went with the others to get away form Matthew.}}
* The final episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' was a two-parter that tried to incorporate as many previous guest stars as they could, and ended with the cast in jail, [[Book Ends|repeating dialogue from the first episode]], and then [[Lampshading]] it.
* The end of ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' had the cast (who were all fired from the station, except [[Small Name, Big Ego|Ted Baxter]]) in a group hug, then one by one they left the office while singing "It's a long way to Tipperary." Mary was the last one out, took a look, and turned off the lights. Then the stars came out for one final curtain call. Note that, as the oldest entry on this list (the series finale aired in 1977), this is also the [[Trope Maker]].
* An episode of Quebecer show "Dans une galaxie pres de chez vous" had such a scene before everyone disembarked the ship, with the captain lingering behind. This troper doesn't really remember, but she thinks they all got back on board and left again on the ship instead of staying on the planet.
* ''[[Moesha]]'' also had the "door close" ending with the closing of [[The Den]].
