20. Fran and Maxwell got married at the end of season 5...
and season 6 dealt with their marriage, Fran's pregnancy, a romance between CC and Niles, and Maxwell's agreeing to move to California to produce a sitcom.

The series finale had Fran giving birth to twins, having gone into labor at a party celebrating their first wedding anniversary. CC and Niles got married at the hospital and discovered CC was pregnant. Brighton and Maggie (who had married her boyfriend Michael) went off to Europe, and the rest of the family (including Fran's parents and grandmother) prepared to move to California. The final scene showed Fran in the nearly empty mansion, reliving her years in the house from her first day there through clips of past episodes, while the rest of the family waited for her in the limo. The show ended with Fran walking out and closing the door to the mansion.

8. Arrested Development
And what was so great about that show was that every time something bad happened to the show itself, the writers found some way to write it in.

23. "All Good Things" was one of their very best episodes
Made me sad it was the last one, but it was quite well done. I especially loved it that the took it full circle with Q and the hearings.

18. Seinfeld
I was just happy it ended....I didn't find it funny at all. I watched it a few times and I'm sorry to any Seinfeld fans, but it was ....uuuuhhhh....just plain old-fashioned "doofy". My significant other watches the reruns daily and cracks up. What can I say?
