TV ACRES: Quotations > Signoffs > TV Character Closing Lines Signoffs - TV Character Closing Lines "Be seeing you!" - On the bizarre espionage series THE PRISONER/CBS/1968-69 Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) and other reluctant residents of "The Village" would part company by saying "Be seeing you!" The expression was combined with a saluting hand signal which had the thumb and index finger touching as the hand was brought up to one's eye (as if to peep through). According to Patrick McGoohan (as told by actress Norma West), the hand sign was the same one used by the ancient Christians: the sign of the fish. The "seeing" aspect of the sign could also be interpreted as an inference that "Big Brother is watching"!...that he's got an "eye" on you. The same sign was used by Mr. Bester (Walter Koenig), a ruthless PSI Corps officer on the syndicated sci-fi series BABYLON 5/SYN/1994-98.

"Good night, John Boy" - On the rural drama THE WALTONS/CBS/1972-81 the last scene of each episode featured a night view of the Walton homestead with its windows illuminated and someone in the family starting to say goodnight to the rest of the family. This started a cascade of responses as each member of the Walton family wished each other goodnight. This classic program closing originated on Christmas eve in 1931 when a tired Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) tried to say goodnight to everyone but was interrupted by her sister Mary Ellen (Judy Norton-Taylor) who said "Don't say goodnight yet. Wait until we're all in bed and the last light is out." Thus began the now famous Goodnight Ma, Pa, Grandpa, Grandma, John-Boy, Mary Ellen, Elizabeth, Zeb, Erin, Jason, Ben, and Jim-Bob scenario. According to the two-hour special "TV Road Trip" (2002) hosted by John Ritter for The Travel Channel, the classic Walton's "Good Night" ritual was based on the real life of experiences of Earl Hamner, the series creator and narrator.

Apparently, at one point in his life, Hamner's sibling of seven brothers and sister used to bid each other lengthy goodnights at bed time. Sometimes taking up to ten minutes. Eventually, however, Hamner's father had enough of the practice and told the kids to knock it off and just go to bed. "I'll be back next week at this same time with another Sea Hunt story" - One of many closing comments made by actor Lloyd Bridges as he concluded his action maritime adventure SEA HUNT/SYN/1957-61. For more closing monologues from the program check out BEGINNING & ENDING NARRATIONS OF TV SHOWS - Action/Adventure (Contemporary). "Same bat time. Same bat channel!" - The episode closing line of the fantasy adventure BATMAN/ABC/1966-68. At the conclusion of each episode, an unseen announcer (voice of William Dozier) petitioned the viewers to tune in to the next episode "Same bat time. Same bat channel!" to discover the fate of the Dynamic Duo, Batman (Adam West) and his sidekick, Robin (Burt Ward) who were usually about to be killed by some nefarious scheme.

"Say goodnight, Gracie" - What comedian George Burns said to his wife, Gracie Allen at the conclusion of every episode of the sitcom THE GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN SHOW/CBS/1950-58. At the close of each show, Gracie would say something silly, or illogical. Instead of responding to Gracie, George simply said "Say goodnight, Gracie." The scatterbrained Gracie would in turn say "Goodnight." In the 1960s, a similar closing was used on the conclusion of the comedy variety program ROWAN AND MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN/NBC/1968-73. When Dan Rowan asked his partner Dick Martin to "Say goodnight, Dick" after he had enough of his silliness, Dick responded "Goodnight Dick." "So long for now and spaceman's luck to all of you" - The weekly sign-off of Tom Corbett (Frankie Thomas), a member of the Solar Guards featured in the early episodes of the sci-fi series TOM CORBETT, SPACE CADET/CBS/ABC/NBC/DUM/ 1950-55.

"Toodles" - What Francine "Gidget" Lawrence (Sally Field), the daughter of Professor Russ Lawrence (Don Porter) said when she departed from her house or friends on the teenage sitcom GIDGET/ABC/1965-66. The Waltons (TV Series 1971–1981) - Connections - IMDb EastEnders: Episode #1.5212 (2016) (TV Episode) Sharon tells Gavin, "It sounds like you've had a personality transplant and turned into a Walton." EastEnders: Episode #1.5227 (2016) (TV Episode) A woman in a slum sarcastically tells Denise, "Oh, yeah, we all know each other 'round here. It's like Waltons Mountain." Every Episode Ending - TV Tropes Every Episode Ending You need to login to do this. Get Known if you don't have an account Share — Porky Pig , Looney Tunes An element that appears at the conclusion of every episode , chapter, or Story Arc . It can be dialogue , narration , or Paratext .

Either way, it informs the audience that the episode/arc is over, without resorting to a generic " The End " or " To Be Continued ..." title card. For some viewers, On the Next and Closing Credits tend to function like this (even though that's probably not the intent of the creators). Oh, Cisco! is the variation that ends every ep with a joke, which may lead to everybody laughing . May include a catchphrase . CBS 's Saturday morning block in 1987: "That's a rap!" (...right here on CBS! [Yeah!]) A similar version was used during the following season: "See you next Saturday!" (...here on CBS! [Yeah!]) "That's a rap!" PBS Kids block in the 1990's: P-Pals: (singing) This is, PBS! Woo-hoo-hoo! (P-Pet barks) Anime/Manga Many anime shows have the ending theme start to fade in during the last scene. Fullmetal Alchemist . The only exception is one episode in which Maes Hughes dies; this episode ends with his funeral and the credits roll under the minimal brass and drum stings that open the Amestris leitmotif .

Black Lagoon , except for episode 15, which changed the ending theme to "The World of Midnight." Mai-HiME and Mai-Otome , except for the endings of the two major Story Arcs in each. Fushigi Yuugi . When Nuriko dies, however, his character song "Kaze no Uta" is used. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and its sequel series Destiny . City Hunter ends on a stylized freeze frame of City Hunter (and the client sometimes) with the music coming up. The Mahou Tsukai Tai! OAVs . Anime really likes doing this. Mushishi . With a different song every episode. Kodomo no Omocha starts the ending theme at the beginning of whatever revelation or confrontation the episode will end on . Many fans have made a game of seeing who can predict exactly when the music will start. From Space Battleship Yamato : "Hurry Star Forcenote This name does not exist in the original Japanese version. They were simply the ship's crew., there are only___days left to save the Earth... "note Some episodes used variations, but would always indicate how many days were left. Kamen no Maid Guy has the countdown to Naeka's birthday.

Episodes of Cowboy Bebop ended with a small text slogan on a black background; most episodes ended with "See You Space Cowboy..." Certain episodes that were dramatically significant ended differently, usually with a line that indirectly related to the character development that had occurred. "You're Gonna Carry That Weight" was used at the close of the final episode after Spike and Vicious (possibly) kill each other. The best subversion was in the episode with Andy, a literal Space Cowboy. At the end of the episode, after he's been defeated, he shows up again, now a samurai. Sure enough, the ending says "See you Space Samurai..." The Big O ended with a black-and-white text card, reading either "We Have Come To Terms" or "No Side," depending on the results of the negotiations in the episode, or " To Be Continued " for a multi-part story. The holiday episode used "Merry Christmas" instead. Interestingly, Season 2 was a completely uninterrupted string of "To Be Continued"'s all the way to the last episode of the season (and thus, the series).

The very last frame of the show finally gives us "We Have Come To Terms" (yeah, sure, I guess you can call it that, show ). Daa! Daa! Daa! has Wannya writing on his electronic diary. Almost entirely done in Code Geass , as virtually every episode of both seasons ends with some form of a cliffhanger (and on top of that, a decent percentage of the cliffhangers involve screwing over/complicating the protagonist's plans in some way). Every episode of Hamtaro would end with Laura saying that it had been a great day, that the next day would be even better, and Hamtaro squeaking in agreement. Pokï¿½mon does the " To Be Continued ..." sign at the end of every episode on the corner of the screen. The narrator , at least dub-wise, always says some sort of speech relating with the last scene to overlap with this. Actually, this is a somewhat-regular occurrence in anime (and other Japanese TV shows as well) with continuing stories (i.e., it doesn't always happen). Each episode until the finale will say "Tsuzuku" (which means "To Be Continued).

Once a show reaches the final episode, it will then say "Owari" ("[The] End"). A variation of the above occurs in One Piece . The first two episodes had "TSUZUKU" in a large font. All episodes thereafter say "TO BE CONTINUED" in English with big letters. Every episode of Transformers: Super-God Masterforce ended with the narrator exclaiming "Now, you too use the Masterforce to TRANSFORM!" In Hidamari Sketch , Yuno (or any character who's the center of the episode's story from the second season) got a Furo Scene reflecting that episode's events at the end of each episode. Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou not only has the Ending Theme fade-in thing, but also uses the time between the start of the fade-in and the start of the actual ending sequence to put on the screen a tanka poem that somewhat reflects the events of the episode.

This effect doesn't change even when the default ending song gets replaced in some of the character-centered episodes ; the only time it gets altered is the series' finale, where the ending song plays over the next-to-the-last scene, and the poem appears at the very end of the episode. The Tatami Galaxy features a sequence at the end of every episode except the final one to signify the continuation of the "Groundhog Day" Loop by having the main clock of Watashi's university rewinding and the events of the episode flashing by, to be immediately followed by the ending theme. About every short episode of Axis Powers Hetalia ends with "To be continued... maybe". Each episode of the Non Non Biyori anime, with the exception of the last of each season, ends with two of the main cast standing between "That's all for today" and bowing towards the screen. Comic Books X-Men sometimes has the (X) sigil at the end of an arc to indicate that particular arc has completed. Suske en Wiske : Each album traditionally ends with Wiske winking at the audience. Nero : In the color albums almost every album traditionally ends with a waffle feast.

Lucky Luke always ends with Lucky Luke driving off into the sunset while he sings "I'm A Poor Lonesome Cowboy". Astï¿½rix always ends with the Gauls having a celebratory feast. And tie and gag Cacofonix while they're at it lest his music ruins the feast . Unless Cacofonix is saving the day . In which case, Fulliautomatix, the one who usually handles Cacofonix, is usually the one tied up. Every issue of Transmetropolitan ends with a variant on the three-eyed smiley face that represents the Transient movement. Every issue of Watchmen ends with an epigraph , which quotes the source of each issue's title . "You are now leaving Astro City , please drive carefully." Except for the "Pastoral" issue, which has "Caplinville City Limits - Come Back Soon!" And in issues that are part of a larger arc, it's "Astro City Department of Public Works - Under Construction." With very rare exceptions, every issue of Groo the Wanderer would end with a Moral. The last panel of each The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! comic has an encircled A in the corner.

Fan Works In The Legend of Total Drama Island , every chapter posted to date except for the prologue ends thusly: "The hour was growing late, so Brett's mother left off her tale and suggested that he prepare for bed." Almost every chapter in Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles ends with the line, "Author's Note: Blessings!" This is sometimes followed by a selection of Bible verses. Film James Bond movies' endings have evolved since Dr. No , but the vast majority (at least pre- reboot ) end with a scene of Bond and the Bond Girl together, often with a Double Entendre One-Liner to close out the movie. Bond movies also nearly always end with the statement during the ending credits: JAMES BOND WILL RETURN. In the older movies, that statement would include the next movie's name, sometimes incorrectly; For Your Eyes Only was originally supposed to follow The Spy Who Loved Me .

In a documentary about the making of The World Is Not Enough , the makers commented that "You need an ending that's like 'Bond and the girl escape in a rubber raft while the villain's base blows up', but isn't actually 'Bond and the girl escape in a rubber raft while the villain's base blows up.'" In the Christopher Reeve-era Superman movies, he flies off into space every time. Harry Potter has the last line in every film except for the last one, where he shares an exchange with his son, instead. Compare the last words from each of the Wayside School books: Sideways Stories From Wayside School: "Everybody booed." Wayside School Is Falling Down: "Everybody mooed." Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger: "Everybody oohed." Sharpe novels usually end with the title of the book, e.g. Sharpe's Tiger ends with "It was Sharpe's tiger." Every book in A Series of Unfortunate Events ends with a letter to the editor (thoroughly detailing where he may find the manuscript of the next book) and a full page illustration which contained a hint about a certain theme within the next book.

Standard fairytale ending: "And they [all] lived happily ever after [except for X]." Arabian Nights endings are more restrained "They lived happily until there came to them the One Who Destroys All Happiness." (i.e., death) Sweet dreams, kids! Every Discworld Watch novel ends with Vimes and the Watch being rewarded usually by the Patrician, and often in a way that reflects the changing politics of the books: Originally, in Guards! Guards! , the gag was that the only reward they wanted was a small wage increase, a kettle and a dartboard. (And even then, Sergeant Colon thought they were pushing it.) Men at Arms starts out the same way, before it turns out that the reason Carrot wants a new kettle is because he plans the Watch's increase to 56 officers (from six), and the reopening of the section houses. Vimes becomes Commander of the Watch and (reluctantly) a knight. In Feet of Clay , the Patrician does a McCloud Speech , saying that since Vimes has upset every Guild leader in the city, his wages will have to be increased again. "And I expect they need a new dart-board in the Watch House?

They usually do, I recall." In Jingo , Vimes insists there's nothing the Patrician can offer that will make him accept a Dukedom ("We've got the Watch set up, we've almost got the numbers, the widows and orphans fund is so big the men are queuing up for the dangerous beats, and the dartboard we've got is nearly new!"), before getting caught off-guard by Vetinari's suggestion that the history of Sam's regicidal ancestor might be re-examined. Nobby and Fred, meanwhile, are rewarded by being put in charge of Traffic Control ("A chance to be 'self-financing' and not get shot at.") Since Vimes is still in Uberwald at the end of The Fifth Elephant , it's Rhys Rhysson, Low King of the dwarfs who rewards the Watch for their aid. This includes the very political aknowledgement of Cheery (an openly female dwarf) and Detritus (a troll) as friends of the Low King. Vimes is given a dwarfish battle-axe, an ironic thing for a king to give a Vimes.

At the end of Night Watch , Vetinari suggests commemorating the Watchmen who died on the 25th of May, but Vimes shoots this down. He reiterates there's nothing he wants (" We don't even need a new bloody dartboard! "), but the Patrician again catches him off-guard, this time by re-opening the Treacle Mine Road Watch House. Thud! ends with Vimes in Uberwald again. Sybil says that Vetinari would be wondering how to reward him, and he replies "He can go on wondering. I've got everything I want." ... leading to an Ironic Echo Cut back to the city, where Carrot is telling the Patrician that "Commander Vimes wouldn't settle for anything less" than sixty new officers to join the Watch. Played with in Snuff ; the reward scene comes two thirds of the way through the book, complete with Vimes getting a new title as King of the River for saving The Wonderful Fanny. When Vimes and Vetinari have their conversation at the end the Patrician is not in a mood to reward him.

The Riftwar Cycle : "Ah, Arutha, you take all the fun out of life!" In the epilogues (or prologues) of the books of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, the P.O.V. character narrating that chapter dies. At the end of every Clue book, Mr. Boddy is supposedly killed. Every book in the Sweet Valley High universe (Twins, High, University, etc), ended with a preview of the next book, as something that may have been hinted at throughout the book's plot (a couple arguing, a person feeling pressured about school/home) now took center stage in the book's final chapter. Every book in the Captain Underpants series ends with George & Harold shouting "Oh no!" and "Here we go again!". Up until the fifth book this was accompanied by Mr. Krupp being turned back into Captain Underpants and running off but since the 6th book it has always been George Harold, and may a few other characters involved in a Here We Go Again type of ordeal.

Every installment of Rosemary Wells 's Voyage to the Bunny Planet books ends with the star character of the book observing the Bunny Planet in the night sky and realizing with delight "It was there all along!" Live Action TV Arrested Development : Every episode ends with fake previews for next week that subvert real teasers that reality tv and dramas often use to build interest. The Bozo Show : Every episode ends with The Grand March. It's where audience follows Bozo the Clown to the exit. Welcome Back, Kotter : Part of a bookend, where each episode began and ended with Kotter telling a joke (usually ending in a bad pun) about one of his relatives. Superior Court: The 1980s courtroom drama (promoted as bringing "real people, real cases, real drama" through presentations of fictional cases) always ended each story with a " Where Are They Now "-type epilogue, telling viewers what happened to the principal characters of each case. Sometimes, if a major social issue was involved, the narrator told what happened as the result of said case. Quantum Leap always ended with Sam leaping into a new identity and saying "Oh, boy." The scene would then double as the beginning of next week's show.

Most of these scenes contained no connection to the story that had just ended, so that they could be swapped between episodes if the network felt like changing the air order. Some syndication packages have the same ending appended to multiple episodes. In The Prisoner , a photo of Number 6's face rises from a bird's-eye view of the Village. Bars slam shut. Yes, Minister almost always (Jobs For The Boys was an exception) ends with a character, usually Sir Humphrey, saying "Yes, Minister" - in an astonishing variety of different intonations. When the title was changed to Yes, Prime Minister... The Tracey Ullman Show always ended with Tracey emphatically telling the audience to "Go home!" Carol Burnett always tugged on her ear at the end of her shows. It was a holdover from her days on stage. She did this as a covert way of saying "I love you" to her grandmother. Knight Rider (and probably a lot of 1980s action series) ended with stock footage of the car, and earlier episodes had a narrative epilogue as well.

Up until about the start of The '90s , most Sit Coms would end on a freeze frame, with the studio audience applauding the episode. The freeze frame was parodied by Police Squad! , where the credits would roll while the principal characters stand really still, and everything around them continued moving. (Plus, before each freeze frame scene, Drebin would casually rhyme off every criminal caught in the series to date as part of a conversation.) Quite a few series have the credits music kick in a few seconds before the credits. Doctor Who 's electronic "scream" comes to mind. And EastEnders ' iconic "Dun-dun, dun, dun, d-d-dun-dun." drumbeats. In fact one episode of EastEnders even had the latter two blended together in one episode; when Bradley and Stacey Branning were at a Doctor Who convention, the "scream" was played as part of the convention 'atmosphere' just before the drumbeats showed up so one segued into the other. The Waltons would end with the family telling each other good night. Most episodes of Sliders ended with the group sliding into the next world.

In the earliest episodes, they tried linking one episode to the next with a Quantum Leap-style tag scene, but the tags couldn't be shuffled between episodes because the characters' clothing needed to match. When the network aired a cliffhanger resolution the week before the cliffhanger, the producers gave up. Almost every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series ended with music playing over a shot of the Enterprise sailing through the starfield. Most first season episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation ended with Picard or Riker saying "Engage" and the Enterprise departing to bombastic music. They dropped this later on. Dragnet usually ended with the narrator describing the fate of the accused over a shot of the perp looking uncomfortably at the mugshot camera. Seinfeld ends every episode with a freeze-frame and the show's signature bass-line playing. Sesame Street : Each show ends with the "sponsor" announcement: "Sesame Street was brought to you today by ..." the featured 2 letter(s) and 1 number. Following this was a listing of corporate sponsors. From Season 1 to season 31, They would also end the show with the phrase Sesame Street is a production of The Children's Television Workshop!

The Electric Company (1971) : The show used two: During the first season (1971-1972), the last act of each day was the soap opera parody "Love of Chair," followed by "And now, the last word ... " where a word, often having to do with one of the sounds of the day was read. For the remainder of the series (1972-1977), a "next episode" teaser was played instead ("Next time on The Electric Company, the cook says ..." followed by a frozen action shot and a muted "wah-wah"-type sound.) This was omitted on the final episode of each season. In turn, much like Sesame Street, the corporate credits — a listing of corporate sponsors — was played. Before the roll, one of the cast members read the following: "The Electric Company is a production of ... the Children's Television Workshop.") Every episode of NCIS between "Bete Noire" and the season 1 finale ended with the same shot of Gibbs' computer running a photo database ID search attempting to identify the terrorist from "Bete Noire", signifying Gibbs' obsessive quest to find the mysterious terrorist Ari.

Every episode of Mama's Family ended with an Establishing Shot of the house, and Mama always spoke the last line, which was always a zinger. Almost every episode of Boston Legal ended with Denny and Allan discussing the episode's Aesop (or lack thereof) over Scotch and cigars on their balcony. Doogie Howser, M.D. always ends with Doogie typing in his journal about a lesson he learned from the events of the episode. The Two Ronnies ended with their catchphrase of "It's goodnight from me..." "...and it's goodnight from him." Most Top Gear episodes end with Jeremy Clarkson saying "...and on that bombshell..." or variants thereof, with few exceptions. (Such as when Clarkson was caught and devoured by a pack of hunting dogs.) Beakman's World always ended just like it began: Don and Herb Penguin give an Oh, Cisco! -type joke, then turn off the teevee. The classic '50s sitcom The Honeymooners almost always ended with Jackie Gleason's saying to his wife "Baby, you're the greatest" followed by a kiss.

With the exceptions being the first part of a two-parter (or the first two parts of the series opener when divided into three parts), every episode of the original Battlestar Galactica series ended with a shot of the fleet and Lorne Greene's voiceover describing the premise of the series. "Fleeing the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest. A shining planet known as Earth." Every episode of The Daily Show ends with a "Moment of Zen," which is usually a funny clip pertaining to something mentioned during the show. Made In Canada (generally known elsewhere as The Industry) always ended with a character, usually Richard (Rick Mercer), looking at the camera and saying "I think that went well," usually when something has gone terribly wrong for another character. Alternatively, the character for whom something has gone terribly wrong (usually Victor or Alan) will look at the camera and say, "This is not good." Most shows by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer conclude with a characteristic musical duet (sometimes with changed lyrics to fit the episode).

Vic Reeves Big Night Out had "Oh Mr Songwriter," The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer had "I Love the Smell..." and Shooting Stars had a reprise of the opening "Welcome to Shooting Stars." Once every episode of Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? ends, there's only one more thing that needs to be done, AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?! "Do it, Rockapella!" Roundhouse would end every episode with an occasionally random segue into the line "Reprise the theme song, and roll the credits!" The Red Skelton Show: "Good night, and may God bless." On The Red Green Show , The Possum Lodge meeting is called. Red gives a risqué message to his wife, and then says "On behalf of me and Harold and everyone else here at Possum Lodge... keep your stick on the ice." Wonder Woman ended episodes on a freeze frame of Lynda Carter smiling. Touched by an Angel ended (and began) with a dove flying around the scene. No matter how the scene started. There's even one in a Snow Globe! The Twilight Zone always ended with a epilogue by series creator Rod Serling concluding with the words "...in the Twilight Zone." or something similar.

Rod actually started appearing on screen after the first season finale, in which a character broke the fourth wall to talk to Rod. Most, but not all episodes of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour ended with a closing skit in which Fleagle would "adjourn" the club meeting; he would usually say "The Banana Splits Club is now officially adjourned," or some other variation. Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company M-I-C... see ya real soon! K-E-Y... Why? Because we like you! M-O-U-S-E. The '90s version then cuts into an upbeat Dancing Theme . Johnny Bago sends a letter home to his mother, giving her news about his travels...and the Mafia intercepts her mail, so they also know what he's up to. In the sketch show A Bit of Fry and Laurie , every episode of the last 2 series ended with Stephen Fry making a bizarre cocktail and serving it up, after instructing Hugh Laurie "Please Mr Music, will you play?" Laurie played the theme tune on the piano (and made trumpet noises with his mouth), and each show concluded with the toast "soupy twist." Frequently occurs on news shows, with the anchor's trademark signoff.

Edward R. Murrow's "Good night and good luck," later stolen by Keith Olbermann, who now uses "That's Countdown , on this the [XXXXth] day since the previous president declared Mission Accomplished in Iraq. I'm Keith Olbermann, good night and good luck." As the George W. Bush Presidency started winding down, he'd add, "Congratulations on getting through another day of this crap." Cold Case has this down to a science. Every episode concludes with a sombre montage which is bound to include: Period music from the same time as the flashback segments of the preceding episode. Shots of the major characters in the case doing things in the present, as both their "present" and "past" selves. The case itself being re-filed in the evidence room, with the word "closed" stamped on it. An apparition of the murder victim (s), seen briefly by one of the detectives (or one of their loved ones) before fading from sight. Many old game shows, especially those produced by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, would end with The Announcer signing off for the show over the ending credits, audience applause, and scenes of the winners.

For example, "This is Gene Wood speaking for Family Feud . A Mark Goodson Television Production." Substitute name of show and announcer's name as needed. (Occasionally this would be accompanied with a short production or legal note, e.g. "The third contestant on today's show was found to be ineligible and his prizes were forfeited.") The Price Is Right is the only show that still does this. Speaking of The Price Is Right, when Bob Barker was the host, he ended every show since the '80s by imploring people to spay or neuter their pets. At the end of Kenan & Kel , Kenan would ask Kel to grab three random items, meet him at a random location, and call him a random nickname. Kel would then end the episode with his trademark, "Awwww, here it goes!" Amanda Bynes ended every episode of The Amanda Show by telling the audience, "Well, that's our show. I gotta go ________.

See ya!" The blank would always be some bizarre or impossible task, such as "overthrow Canada" or "stir-fry a bikini." Lost consistently ended with the word "LOST" in white over a black screen, but for one notable exception: when Season 5 ended with the explosion of the hydrogen bomb, it was reversed so that "LOST" was written in black over a white screen. Charmed : every season ended with a door, mostly that of the Halliwells' house, being telekinetically closed by Prue, by a ghost of a dead Halliwell, like Prue, or just closing. Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction : Jonathan Frakes would end each story with a pun. Every episode of the BBC sitcom The Vicar of Dibley (except one) ends with the Vicar telling the verger Alice a joke. Alice usually doesn't get the joke, so the Vicar has to try, unsuccessfully, to explain the punchline. Only one episode does not end with a joke, but in that episode the joke is at the beginning. Tales Of The Riverbank would end with the narrator starting to relate an anecdote...

"But that is another story." Nearly every episode of Mork & Mindy ended with Mork's report to Orson. (" Mork calling Orson , come in, Orson .") The exceptions are the Christmas Special , the finale of season 3 (which ended with Mork and Mindy confessing their love to one another), and several season 4 episodes . Every episode of Pee-Wee's Playhouse ended with Pee-Wee riding on his red motor scooter after flying out of his playhouse. Later episodes showed him wearing a red one-eyed monster helmet, and also had him fly past Mt. Rushmore. Reading Rainbow : "[I'll/We'll] see ya next time!" Brum the sentient car would always return to the museum, and the curator would discover a memento of his latest adventure in the back seat. In Mystery Science Theater 3000 , one of the mad scientists would end the show by pushing a button to cut off the transmission. In fact, Dr. Forrester's "Push the button, Frank," became something of a catch phrase. (During season one it was "File this, Larry.") This was dropped when the show moved to Sci-Fi Channel.

After the ending credits there was usually a " stinger ", a short bizarre scene or quote from the film they watched that episode. The first few episodes of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin ended with a despairing scream from Reginald. This was phased out. Wipeout (2008) : "Good night...and big balls ." "Jesse's got metal to burn and sparks to fly! The next Monster Garage challenge ...is just...around...the bend! " In The Avengers , Steed and Mrs Peel would depart the area into the distance in whatever conveyance was available or appropriate. Frasier ends with 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' being played over a scene. Lamb Chop's Play-Along "This is the song that doesn't end...yes it goes on and on my friend.

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because" (repeat!) Barney "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...." Most episodes featured a segment called "Barney Says," where Barney recaps the episode, but it's not nearly as iconic as "I Love You." Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In always ended with Dan and Dick saying goodnight (Dan: "Say goodnight, Dick." Dick: "Goodnight, Dick!"), followed by the joke wall, some blackouts then have the sound of one person clapping during the ending graphics and the NBC snake logo. American Bible Challenge : "If you don't know your Bible, you don't have a prayer!" Heyyyyy... WHO MADE THIS BIIIIIG MESS? Mr. Belvedere : The titular Mr. Belvedere writing in his journal making observations about his host family. 3rd Rock from the Sun : The family, sitting on a rooftop, discusses what (they think) they've learned about human civilization. Every episode of Dong Yi will end with a close-up shot of Dong Yi before cutting into the credits.

MacGruber sketches end with a cry of " MacGruber !" over a shot of the location exploding. Every episode of Spooks ends with a colour-inverted version of the episode's final shot, before (with the exception of season finales) cutting to the On the Next . Each Fortysomething episode ended with Paul and Estelle going to bed at night. Every episode of 2 Broke Girls ends with a counter showing the amount of money the titular characters have saved up to start their cupcake business. It can go up or down depending on what happened in the episode. Most Cheers episodes had an abrupt ending — the last word (typically a Punchline ) was immediately followed by a cut to black. An exception: In one episode, Sam did an old The Three Stooges trick. Saying "come here, porcupine," he grabbed Rebecca's nose between two fingers of his clenched fist, then slapped his fist away. When she told him that hurt, he said it was all in fun like with the Stooges. She immediately repeated the same trick on him. They cut to black just as her hand connected with her fist. Then there was the sound of a very loud slap. Then Sam yelled, "OW!

Hey, the Stooges didn't bleed!" Sometimes, one more line can be heard. In "Death Takes A Holiday On Ice", which ends with Carla heading to the backroom to play a game of billiards. After the cut to black, we hear the cue ball hitting the balls and one falling into a pocket. Nearly every episode of Scrubs ends with JD comparing and tying together all the different plot threads in a voiceover, either learning An Aesop or making an observation of some sort. Subverted as often as not in later seasons, but the lack of a summation to make sense of everything usually only occurs in particularly bleak or jarring episodes (for example, "My Lunch"). King of the Nerds : Each episode concludes with the eliminated contestant marching out of the mansion, as they narrate their last goodbyes and wistful music plays... until one of the hosts taps an iPad, obliterates them the moment before they set foot off the property, and makes a cheesy pun about it. From 1973 to 2001, all but two episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ended with Rogers singing "It's Such A Good Feeling".

The two exceptions were opera episodes from The '80s , where the song was presumably cut for time (they also opened with a Truncated Theme Tune ). Before that, from 1968-70, every episode closed with the song "Tomorrow". The 1971 season featured a different closing song ("The Weekend Song") on Fridays, while the 1972 season featured a rotation between "Good Feeling" and the two previous songs. Every episode of JAG ended with a freeze frame, usually of one or two of the main characters either smiling or showing a concerned look. Good Luck Charlie had Teddy's last entry in the video diary for that episode, which always ended with a Title Drop. Pyramid : "For now, Dick Clark ... So long." Press Your Luck : "Until next time, this is Peter Tomarken saying thanks for pressing your luck, bye-bye!" Nearly every episode of Duck Dynasty ends with the Robertson clan gathered around the dinner table, where Phil (or occasionally Willie) prays over the food, followed by Willie narrating the Aesop. Singled Out always ended with the set turned into a dance floor open to all of the day's contestants.

The UK version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? ended with "It just remains for me to thank (the four panelists), Richard Vranch at the piano, this is me, Clive Anderson, saying goodnight. Goodnight." Hee Haw always closed with the assembled cast singing a "so long" song. Originally, it was a somber-toned, "We love the time we spend with you...." changed in the last season to a more upbeat, "So long, we sure had a good time..." This would be followed by Cathy Baker poking her head through an opening in the wall and announcing perkily, "That's all!" Soul Train : Don Cornelius: "That oughta do it for a while, I hope we can do it again on these same stations, and you can bet your last money, it's going to be a stone gas honey! I'm Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love...peace...and..." Dancers: "SOUL!!" Every episode of Happy Days ends with offscreen singers reprising the last few lines of the theme song ("These happy days are yours and mine, happy days!").

" I Love Lucy is a Desilu production." From 1969 to 1974 there was a French Canadian family sitcom where every episode ended with anyone of the characters exclaiming "Quelle famille!" (literally, "What a family!"). The title of the show? You've guessed it. Which makes it also a case of Title Drop , of Excited Show Title! and of Family Title (kinda). Deadtime Stories has the main characters of the current story, and the two kids who are being read the story, screaming at each other when something scary happens at the end. Zoboomafoo: At the end of every episode Chris, Martin, & Zoboo would sing the Goodbye Song "Animal Friend". Chris and Martin would leave animal junction on another adventure and Zoboo would return to the wild. Every episode of Midnight Caller ended with Jack Killian signing off on his radio show .

And every episode of that ended "Godnight, America, wherever you are." Life With Elizabeth would end with the announcer breaking in with "Say good night to the people.", the actors on screen breaking character and saying "Goodnight!" to the audience and then returning to what they were doing for a few seconds before the closing credits. Every episode for Studio100 's "Kabouter Plop" ends with Plop saying "Plopper De Plop" at the viewer and his hat would rise up. "...and that will bring this case to a close. That will do it for this edition of The People's Court , and remember: If someone is suing you, and you're convinced you did nothing wrong, don't be afraid to stand up for your rights. Go to court." If you are in a dispute with another party, and you just can't seem to work it out, don't take the laws into your own hands, you take 'em to court."note At first, the first version was used if the defendant won, but in later episodes, the second version was used no matter who won.

" The Jeffersons was recorded on tape before a studio audience." Along with many other American sitcoms before and after this one, going well into at least the late 1980s, in most cases with variarions (e.g., "filmed", or "taped" rather than "recorded on tape"). Fixer Upper always ends with the couple being shown their new home inside and out, followed by footage of them with their friends and/or extended family having a large gathering inside the house. Tiere bis unters Dach : Until season 6, every episode ended with Greta or Nellie (or in one case Pauline) turning to the camera and smiling, followed by a freeze frame. Kids Court : During the show's closing credits. Host Paul Provenza would ask the kids in the studio audience on what their situation problem is. And would ask "Do you think it's fair or unfair?" And the kids in the studio audience usually reply "UNFAIR!" in unison. Caustic Critic game reviewers like The Angry Video Game Nerd and The Irate Gamer will often finish by destroying the cartridge, either through special effects or by literally breaking it.

Tabletop ends with one scene where Wil talks with the losers on the loser couch, and going up and congratulating the winner. The seasons split the latter scene into two endings. Season 1 had him give a trophy to the winner, then take it back because the studio could only afford one trophy while Season 2 had him give away a certificate. Matthew Santoro makes a creepy face at the end of all of his vlogs. " Anthony Fantano . (Artist name). (Album title). Forever." "Next time on Game Grumps !" - followed by the video turning off like a CRT screen and some light chatter from the Grumps. Nearly every episode of Tuesdays with Nick ends with "BYE" being screamed to the audience. Most episodes of Ross's Game Dungeon end with with Ross hinting at what game will be reviewed next. The hints are deliberately vague and at times very strange, to make it more difficult for the viewers to guess the game. Every Epic Rap Battles of History video ends the same way: WHO WON? WHO'S NEXT? YOU DECIDE! EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORYYYYY!!

Overlaps with Signing Off Catchphrase in Vsauce videos: "And as always, thanks for watching." "Frederator loves you." Dizzy: "SHOOOOOOOOOOOWW OVER!!!" (eats the entire screen, leaving only his eyes, which fall down) Baby Plucky: "I wanna flush it again." Similarly, Animaniacs has a final gag with the Warners (or sometimes other characters) popping out of the water tower. Pinky and the Brain usually ended with this exchange, or a slight variation on it: Brain: "Let's get back to the lab and plan for tomorrow night." Pinky: "Why, Brain?

What are we going to do tomorrow night?" Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky: try to Take Over the World !" Here are some of the slight variations: "try to take over the world from Joyce DeWitt!" "try to take over Chia World!" "try to take over Oz !" (in an episode that takes place in Shakespearean times): "try to take over the Globe...Theater!" (in a tongue twisting episode) "try to wake over the torld!" (in a Very Special Episode where the Brain gets hooked on cigarettes): "* coughs* try to quit smoking. Hand me that Nicorette patch." (in episodes where Pinky and the Brain actually have to save the world from Brain's Arch-Nemesis ): "The same thing we didn't do last night, Pinky: try to take over the world!" "try to take over the world - without Larry!

" (in the episode where the Brain gives sentience to the Earth) "Well, there's one thing we can do: try to take over the moon!" (in Wakko's Wish ) "plan for the sequel where we'll take over the kingdom and the world!" (in which the Brain suffers a Never Recycle Your Schemes crisis) Pinky: What now, Brain? Back to our mushroom house to prepare for tomorrow night? Brain: No, Pinky. We shall stop at a pharmacy and purchase a tube of denture adhesive and then attach our bodies to the bottom of Air Force One . Pinky: So we can take over the world? (in which the duo become popular children's show characters in The '50s ) Brain: Come, Pinky. We have work to do. Pinky: You mean taking over the world? Brain: No, Pinky. Finding a good hiding place. (in which the Brain tries to create a story about himself as a folklore hero) Pinky: What are we going to do tomorrow night, Big Crabby See-Saw Kwanzaa Hot Mutton Chop Zekenote Pinky meant to call him "Big Johnny Brain Jones Peachpit Bill Boone Crocket"?

Brain: Work on learning each other's names, and then... try to take over the world! (last, but not least, in a rare daytime episode involving their "day jobs" as lab mice in mazes): Brain: We must prepare for tomorrow morning. Pinky: What are we going to do tomorrow morning? Brain: The same thing we do every morning, Pinky: run through that stupid maze. And of course, there's the subversion in the episode "Ambulatory Abe": Brain: Come, Pinky, we must—well, you know. There's also the trademark voiceover ending of "They're dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain..." just before the end credits music. Certain episodes change this slightly in either the wording or the delivery. The Halloween episode had demon voices saying it followed by Pinky's Catch Phrases and the Devil yelling "Stop that!" Three Delivery ends each episode the same way: The trio and Nana put the rescued recipe in the cookbook before returning to the restaurant for another comedic moment.

Nearly every episode of The Powerpuff Girls ended with a shot of the titular protagonists and the narrator exclaiming, "And So Once Again, the Day Is Saved , thanks to... the Powerpuff Girls!" The only exceptions are when the ending segment is purposefully subverted. Where the girls don't save the day, in "Him Diddle Riddle": "And so... uh... hmm... yeah." When the girls get fed up with the people of Townsville's attitude and force them to destroy a monster without the girls' help: "... the day is saved with no thanks to the Powerpuff Girls. Hey... I did that all by myself!" When the Time Travel episode reveals Mojo Jojo's caused the Stable Time Loop that led to the girls' existence: "And So Once Again, the Day Is Saved , thanks to the Powerpuff Girls... but thanks originally to Mojo Jojo who, once again, had a hand in creating the Powerpuff Girls!" This variant was also used when it was revealed that he caused the Chemical X accident, which led to the creation of the Powerpuff Girls.

When the episode centered around a couple of elderly heroes who were out to fight their out-of-retirement, equally elderly foes, and Blossom refused to allow the girls to intervene: the episode ends with all the old men falling over and breaking various limbs. Instead of the narrator, an in-story newscaster says over the end card "in this reporter's opinion, all this could have been avoided if the Powerpuff Girls had just saved the day." The episode "Boogie Frights" ended with the narrator beating the audience over the head with the ironic use of "the day is saved" while the girls try to sleep in their bed (Bubbles in particular was not bothered at all). The episode where Antidote X is introduced ended with, 'And the day is saved thanks to the normal little girls' In the episode where the Powerpuff Girls are given a curfew, letting the villains run amuck at night, they finally beat them when they're told it's Daylight Savings Time and it's actually an hour earlier ended with "And the day is saved thanks to...

Benjamin Franklin for coming up with the idea to move clocks back an hour to save on lamp oil, and the Powerpuff Girls!" The Narrator was very uncomfortable the one time he was forced to announce that "the day was saved by... Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Him !?" He also once had to say that The Powerpuff Girls saved the day... even though they were the ones who caused the trouble in the first place... The episode A Very Special Blossom ends with the Narrator saying thanks to only Bubbles and Buttercup, and not to Blossom (who was sent to custody on stealing the golf stuff from the golf shop). And we see Blossom behind bars. The episode "Criss Cross Crisis" ended with Bubbles and the Narrator swapping bodies with Voices Are Mental , so the ending lines are narrated with Bubbles's voice instead. In "Uh Oh, Dynamo", when the Professor forces the three to fight the Monster of the Week in a Humongous Mecha , resulting in Townsville getting destroyed, the outro has the narrator calling him out on it. In Superjail!

, dumb recidivist criminal (and arguably main character) Jackknife escapes from the titular The Alcatraz at the end of every episode only to be recaptured at the beginning of the next. Nearly every episode of Scooby-Doo ends with the villain of the day being unmasked and then saying "and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for You Meddling Kids !" Afterwards, Scooby would give his trademark "battle cry" (if you can call it that) of "Scooby-Dooby-Dooooooooooooooo!!!" (although, this didn't happen until later), usually after he initiates one last gag. In The Flintstones , every episode ended with Fred being locked out of the house and trying in vain to get back in. Fred: "Wiiiiiiiilllmaaaaaaa!!!" Animal's "Go bye-bye!" skit at the end of every Muppet Babies episode, usually with him engaged in some dangerous activity as Gonzo fruitlessly tries to stop him. This occured after not just the credits, but also the closing logos as well. Each episode of C.O.P.S. .

ended with the scene going to a still frame, which then pans out to reveal it is actually a photograph being entered into a police file. Bulletproof then restates the name of the episode and closes the file while saying "Case Closed." Subverted in part one of the two-parter, when Bulletproof leaves the file open and ends with, "Case...continued?" Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist : "You know what the music means. Our time is up." Every episode of Birdman would end with Birdman flying into the sky, bellowing his own name, often followed by Avenger cawing. As a parody of Oh, Cisco! -type endings, every Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode ends with the cast and a few walk-ons laughing uproariously at something (or nothing). Most episodes of Doug end with Doug writing a journal entry stating what he learned from all that. The Playhouse Disney "Tasty Time with Ze Fronk" shorts usually end with "Get out of my kitchen you silly cat!" complete with Ze Fronk chasing Dom (the cat) around the kitchen.

In the 90s Action Man series, each episode ends with Action Man reflecting about the missing memory he has recovered during that episode. Nellie The Elephant dreams of going back to the jungle where all the other elephants lived. Subverted in one episode, when Nellie gets stuck on the train, and can't get out, and wants to go back to the jungle, but she can't. Until she squiggled and wiggled and bumped, and left with edited Stock Footage . Just about every single episode of House of Mouse would end with Mike Microphone presenting a different sponsor parodying a different Disney movie. For example, one such sponsor is that of a magic spritzer that can make Eeyore gain a smile on his face, and turn Grumpy into Happy. Count Duckula : "Good night out there, whatever you are." Expect a guitar strike at the really end of each episode. Albie: someone shouting "AAAAAAAALLLBIIEEEEEEEE!" My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic : " Dear Princess Celestia... " With that said, as of Season 3 it seems that this ending is being slowly phased out. The Mega Man cartoon always has Rush doing something stupid.

The Jetsons : George, trapped on the dogwalker running for his life, shouting "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!" Olive the Ostrich, a series seen in the U.S. on PBS Kids Sprout always has a very specific ending. As the end Olive's adventure happens, the narrator states "...and as they did, Olive realized it was time for them to go." Olive pokes her head out of the sand and her mother comments that she's daydreaming again. Olive protests that she was having such-and-such adventure and her father comments that her head's been in the sand too long. Her brother laughs, but the narrator states that Olive wasn't listening because she was already dreaming up her next big adventure. Project Gee Ke R : Moloch's plans are foiled again, and he utters an angry, "Geeker..." Sushi Pack ends with the Pack jumping into the air and shouting "Sushi Pack!" The only exception is the episode "Lights Out," when Unagi helped them save the day and all six of them shouted "Go Planet Earth!" Each episode of the Madeline cartoon (including the original specials) ends with the narrator saying, "And that's all there is.

There isn't any more." Those lines originally appeared at the end of the first Madeline book. Each Commander McBragg segment (first seen on Tennessee Tuxedo And His Tales ) ends the same way: (unnamed second character): "Commander, [calls him out on his bragging with a pun or some other funny saying]." Commander McBragg: Quite. Waltonmuseum.org WaltonMuseum.org Schuyler Virgina - The Walton Museum Walton Museum - Rehoboth Mennonite Church in Schuyler Schuyler Virginia, nestled in the Blueridge Mountains was named for Schuyler George Walker and became back in the late 1800s a booming town of 7000 and industrial center of stone cutting which was badly hurt during the Depression and never recovered. The native soap stone was milled into flat table tops for labs, hospitals, fireplaces, sinks etc. Today the town is only 2000 even though the plant is still open, the hospital, theatres, jewelry store, movie theatres and nine general merchandise stores are long gone. Schuyler's claim to fame is the Walton Museum.

Earl Hamner the creator of "The Waltons" grew up here as a boy. "The Waltons" was a TV produced series which ran for 9 seasons and centered around a rural family and takes place sometime between the Great Depression and World War 2 under the presidencies of Eisenhower and Truman. Based on the book "The Homecoming" the story is about John Walton Jr. or John-Boy and his 7 siblings and parents. The time frame takes us through the of adulthood, marriages and the boys enlisting and going to War etc. The signature scene at the close of each episode is the family saying goodnight one to another as each bedroom light goes out. The series won many accolades including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Walton Museum - The Construction of Stone During the boyhood of Earl Hamner the High School he attended went on to fall on hard times and was eventually converted into the community center and after the popular TV series became the Walton Museum . There is a $5 admission fee and as one enters the making of "The Waltons" is playing on a screen.

Earl used his personal boyhood experiences of working in the soapstone factories and after they closed due to the depression, he started a sawmill next to his home, all portrayed in the TV show. Earls real brother James still lived there for years and was the inspiration for Jim Bob in the series. The local S&H grocery store was the inspiration for Ike Godseys General Store. Earls father was never able to see his success but his mother enjoyed the show. Walton Museum - "John-Boy's" Bedroom Earl's brother James moved to Charlottesville at the end of his life and has now passed along with the rest of the family. The original house has now been preserved much to Earl's delight. Schuyler Virginia has a special charm and after visiting it is easy to see why the intrigue of a family facing Depression and War in this area was such a great TV hit. Each room of the museum is a replica of the Walton home, John-boy's bedroom, the living room, kitchen etc. The museum included, John-boy’s signature glasses and a moonshine still along with displays of soapstone and Earl Hamner's other manuscripts.

The room that displays Ike's General store is also a souvenir shop and one can take home memorabilia or send a postcard from the post office inside which will be stamped "sent from Walton's mountain, Virginia."
