It’s the delta again homie…
These are the finalies that over performed series average by the largest magnitude.
A show that was 9.0 season average and a perfect 10/10 for the finales would have a delta of 1.0
Well below the 1.4 delta number 35 has on this list, despite having a “perfect” finale.
Like. #2 is a 9.1 and #35 is 9.3
So #35 is a better final than #2 on your list of best finalies.
You’re right that this isn’t a “Best TV Show Finale” list. Most like “Shows That Ended With A Bang!”. The Middle looks like a very consistent show that ends with a big uptick. That 70’s show had declining quality until the finale brought it back up to what looks like it’s best rated episode. This is still an interesting list. I think an inverse list would also be very interesting to look at: ie. Which TV shows bombed their finale? (Will GOT be #1?)
Another question I had was… wtf happened with Golden Girls season 2 finale?

OP posted it the other day, made the same mistake but I think they updated the title. Should be easy to find if you look at their post history.
Still good data, and interesting stuff, just bad titles
Found it, thanks! https://sopuli.xyz/post/16369988
That’s just a sad list actually. Scrubs might have been on the other list if they had called season 9 a spinoff.
For anyone wondering, low outlier in the Adventure Time data was season 6, episode 37, Water Park Prank, which was created and directed by series guest animator David “swatpaz” Ferguson and featured significant design differences from the usual series episodes.
Yeah, it was… interesting. There was also that episode where they turned into birds that had a different animation style, or was that the same one? Cannot remember. Recently rewatched the entire show, it still is awesome.
They didn’t even mention BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Millennials have no sense of tradition.
So what episode of the Golden Girls did everyone hate?
Edit: I googled it and it was because it was a crappy spin off pilot
Which TNG episode is that really poorly rated one roughly 30% into the run?
EDIT: From the looks of the graph, it’s the season 2 finale. And when reading up on that episode, it’s a clip show hacked together to save on money, due to earlier episodes having gone over budget.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_Gray_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
“Shades of Gray” is widely reviled as the worst-ever Next Gen episode, with good reason. This isn’t an episode that makes anyone look good, and I don’t just mean Pulaski, Troi or LaForge – I mean the writers, director and producers of the series. Even Marina Sirtis and Diana Muldaur seem to be trying too hard to make the paper-thin storyline work, over-emoting and making absurd faces. The only person who deserves any kudos is Jonathan Frakes, who somehow manages to keep Riker his usual charming self."
