9/10 "This is the end, this is the end my friend, the end"
All in the Family did not get a series finale. It just rolled over into Archie Bunker's Place, which also didn't get a series finale.
7 out of 10. My favorite series finale is "Newhart." Will Newhart be on MeTV?

I honestly did not know that "Leave It to Beaver" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" had series finales. However, I clean forgot about "All in the Family's" finale.
Oddly enough, Leave It to Beaver" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" had very similar series finales, both consisting of clip episodes.
8 out of 10.
10/10 Easy peasy🤨
I got a 9/10. According to the quiz I got #1 wrong but I think I am right. On season 8 of All in the Family Mike, Gloria and Joey leave for California. But season 9 brings us Stephanie. Still AITF for season 9. Archie Bunker's Place starts the following year.
Agreed! The final episode of AITF was just a regular episode about Edith being sick while Archie tries to have a big event at his bar.
Missed a few but remember reading that early TV didn’t often have story continuity or finale endings to wrap up the series. I always wondered why Barney Fife just left and never married Thelma Lou (until a far later special) but no one acted like it was odd and Thelma was just gone, never mentioned. Same with I Love Lucy. I always looked for the finale and there want one. Just a last episode.
I meant wasn’t one, sorry for the typo.

What really qualifies as a series finale ?
I guessed on most, but, I’m still not totally sure. I think that I have a vague idea. Some are more decisively finales than others. In my opinion.

10/10 Wish Lost In Space had had a final episode. They are still out there trying to find Alpha Centauri.

8/10. I have a book by Russell Johnson, the Professor on "Gilligan's Island", who was mad that CBS didn't have a final send-off. They were even gonna be renewed for a 4th season but CBS pulled the plug at the last minute. But NBC came to the rescue in 1978 with a 2-hour movie, "Rescue from Gilligan's Island"
Read that book, pretty interesting. Especially when he recounts his early days in Hollywood.
Russell Johnson was in some classic 1950s sci Fi films before becoming the Professor on Gilligan's Island. It Came from Outer Space is one, This Island
This Island Earth I meant. A couple of others I think, and was on Twilight Zone as well.
A couple of Twilight Zones, in fact, for Mr. Johnson, both involving time travel..."Execution" and "Back There".
Correct. Johnson was actually pretty well known before becoming the Professor on Gilligan's Island.
About T.Z., if anyone recalls STARLOG magazine, Number 15 (1978- yep, I'm old now) has a Twilight Zone article/episode guide. The entire run of STARLOG was available online for some years, but I understand it's no longer available.

I LOVED Starlog so much - what a fun magazine. About online, I found this thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sciencefiction/comments/184rhda/starlog_magazine_online/
It's not too old a thread, but unsure of the sketchiness factor of the links shown there.
