TOPIC: Best series finale ever...

They had a web poll on ESPNRadio.com today...might still be there...the question was, "What was the best season finale ever on TV?"...not surprisingly, they didn't have my fave listed...it was a little-watched show in the 80's called Sledgehammer...I say little-watched because my best friend, Joe, and I were the only ones who watched it, I think...anyway, in the season finale - the season that they were in danger of cancellation - Hammer accidentally set off a nuclear bomb...the caption read "To be continued?" since they didn't know if they would be renewed...they were...the following season, they recapped by showing what happened at the end of the previous season...then they said, "Tonight's episode took place three years prior to these events," so you never found out what happened to Hammer of his cohorts...absolutely hilarious and clever...nice way to get renewed...

Runner-up would have to be Newhart or M*A*S*H*...
