Have we had the "best series finale ever" debate? My vote remains The Wonder Years, but I never watched MASH or MTM.

Sledge Hammer. Although, it was just a season finale, when it aired they thought it was over.
'Despite widespread praise and a passionate fan base, "Sledge Hammer!" was apparently not destined for a second season. (After all, the old saying is… satire is what closes on Saturday nights.)
Taking a satirical, as well as fatalistic, approach to the situation… the series finale ended with an impossible to resolve cliffhanger in which Hammer, whilst attempting to disarm a nuclear warhead, obliterated his entire city.
For inexplicable reasons, the final episode showed significant improvement in the ratings.
To the surprise of many, including those who worked on the show, "Sledge Hammer!" was renewed for a second season…'
