Where To Watch
Pick: How would you have ended these classic TV shows?
Would you have the castaways get off the island?
Not every TV show had a planned finale. In fact, a series finale wasn't even a concept until Howdy Doody said goodbye in 1960. It would not truly turn into a widespread practice until the 1970s, when Mary Richards flicked off the lights.
A handful of Sixties series had a planned ending — The Fugitive, Leave It to Beaver and The Dick Van Dyke Show come to mind — but for the most part, popular shows just… stopped. Most series were episodic, not long narratives, so the series finale was often just another episode. Take "Gilligan, the Goddess" for example. It's no knock on the shows — that was merely showbiz back then.
But let's say you could go back in time as a studio executive and give some iconic series a big farewell finale. What would happen on the show? We've come up with some plot idea. You pick your favorite. Have a better one? We'd love to hear it in the comments!
