History Main / EveryEpisodeEnding

* ''CarTalk'' ends with Klick and Klack noting that you've frittered away another perfectly good hour before reading the credits - then reading some [[CreditsGag fake credits]] such as "...Our optimetric firm is [=C.F.=] Eye Care, Our personal chef is Howard M. Burgers, Our researcher is Paul Murky of Murky Research, assisted by statistician Marge Innovera..." and concludes with:

* The "News From Lake Wobegon" segment of ''APrairieHomeCompanion'' ends with the monologue, "And that's the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children[[DramaticPause ...]] are above average."
* "Well, that's all the time we have this week for ''TheVinylCafe''. Special thanks to ''[musicians and special guests]'' and Anton Szabo for the technical assistance. Dave Amers is the founding producer of ''The Vinyl Cafe'', Louise Curtis is the production assistant, Julie Penner is the music producer, Meg Masters is the long-suffering story editor. ''The Vinyl Cafe'' is produced by Jess Milton. I'm Stuart Maclean, in ''[location]''. So long for now." (CBC Radio)

* ''{{Barney}}'' "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...."

* TheJetsons: George, trapped on the dogwalker running for his life, shouting "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!"

* Nearly every episode of ''MorkAndMindy'' ended with Mork's report to Orson. The execptions are the ChristmasSpecial, the finale of season 3 (which ended with Mork and Mindy confessing their love to one another), and several [[SeasonalRot season 4 episodes]].

* "[[MorkAndMindy Mork]] [[AnAesop calling]] [[TheVoice Orson]], [[CatchPhrase come in, Orson]]."

*** In the older movies, that statement would include the next movie's name, sometimes incorrectly; ''ForYourEyesOnly'' was originally supposed to follow ''TheSpyWhoLovedMe''.

* {{Superman}} flies off into space every time.

* 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 ''BattlestarGalactica'' series ended with a shot of the fleet and Lorne Greene's voiceover describing the premise of the series.

* JamesBond movies' endings have evolved since ''DrNo'', but the vast majority end with a scene of Bond and the Bond Girl together, often with a DoubleEntendre OneLiner to close out the movie.
** ''CasinoRoyale'', which rebooted the series, instead ended with Bond [[spoiler: giving his trademark "Bond, James Bond" introduction to a villain who had been in the background for the entire movie, setting up a bit of a cliffhanger for the next film.]]
** Oddly enough, ''QuantumOfSolace'' being the second movie to chart James Bond's ascension to the Spy we all know and love, ends with the iconic image of Bond shooting the sniper-scope. (Which wasn't related to anything that actually happened in the movie in case anyone is worrying about spoilers)

* Most episodes of the first season of ''StarTrek: The Next Generation'' ended with Picard saying "Engage." They dropped this later on.
** Almost every episode of ''[[StarTrek The Original Series]]'' ended with the music playing over a closing shot of the Enterprise fading amongst the stars, probably headed out for their next destination.

* Every issue of ''{{Watchmen}}'' ends with an {{epigraph}}, which quotes [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming the source of each issue's title]].

* The ''Megaman'' anime always has Rush doing something stupid.

* Often, in the epilogues (or prologues) of the books of ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' by George R. R. Martin, the P.O.V. character narrating that chapter dies.

** The Narrator was very uncomfortable the one time he was forced to announce that the "day was saved by [[VillainousRescue Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Him]]."

* In ''[[{{inFamous}} Infamous 2]]'', every time after absorbing a Blast Core, the screen will go black and inform how many miles The Beast is away from your location, and how many Blast Cores is still needed to activate the RFI.

* Episodes of ''CowboyBebop'' 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 [[spoiler:the final episode after Spike and Vicious kill each other]].

* Philip DeFeranco of the, you guessed it, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/sxephil?blend=1&ob=4 Philip DeFranco Show]] signs of his news programme with the phrase, "I'm Philip DeFranco, and you've just been Philled in..."

* The ''Series/EarthwormJim'' TV series would literally DropTheCow on someone, usually Jim.
