Hound DogBig Bang Theory To End After 12th Season (Next Year)
I thought that was an excellent ending.
Did anybody see the episode of "Young Sheldon" that followed it? I normally don't watch that show, but I think we just left the TV running as we were doing other stuff.
They had a scene where Sheldon was all alone in his garage listening to the Nobel Prize announcement on a borrowed short wave radio. The lead up had him trying to get other kids to join him in what he considered to be a momentous occasion. Of course, nobody did. He was there listening to the radio all alone. It then showed scenes of the other cast - Howard, Raj, Penny, etc, all doing their own stuff as 10 yr old kids (Leonard listening to the Nobel announcement, Howard playing video games getting yelled at by his mother, Amy reading Little House, etc). It basically showed that Sheldon is all alone now, but he wouldn't always be.
It was very well done. Other shows could take a LOT of good notes on how they ended this one.

PASigI thought the final episode was just OK, hilarious that the damn elevator finally got fixed.
This show jumped the shark and went way downhill after all the formerly single characters settled down into normal life and it really lost a lot of what made it funny at that point.
I stopped watching 3 years ago and watched the final episode out of curiosity.

Oz_ShadowEnjoyed the final episode. The last season - not so much.

ensigmaticI thought the last few seasons, 10 & 11, in particular, had become significantly less interesting. But ISTM the show got much of its mojo back in this last season. I found myself looking forward to Thursday nights again.
I thought the series finale very well done, esp. with the following Young Sheldon tie-in.
