    Two-Hour Series Finales

    In regards to one-hour shows, can you think of many series finales that played out as a two-hour TV movie event? The only ones that come to mind are Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.

    BSG Had all three parts of 'Daybreak' as a movie didn't they?

          I think Both LOST and Smallville had Two-Hour Series Finales, and as someone has already pointed out bsg had a movie length finale as well

            Sorta. It aired originally (and appears on the DVDs/BDs) is a 42min Part 1 and a double-length Part 2. So effectively (and likely in repeats) yes, it was a 3-parter, even though that's not how they chose to number it.

            As to the topic itself, I suppose it depends on how one considers the nature of the story. Whether it airs as a 2hr slot, whether it's a 2-parter over separate weeks, whether it's a movie or miniseries, etc etc. So with all of those in mind:
            • Alias (2 part in consecutive timeslots)
            • Andromeda (part 2 following part 1 previous week)
            • Babylon 5 (final two production episodes were 2-part; series finale was aired the next week--but had been filmed as part of the previous season's episode order)
            • BSG (1 part + 2hr, 3 part in re-runs)
            • Charmed (part 2 following part 1 previous week)
            • Chuck (part 2 following part 1 previous week)
            • Dollhouse (epilogue episode that was part 2 of the season 1 epilogue episode)
            • Farscape (miniseries)
            • Firefly (film)
            • Fringe (2 parts airing in consecutive timeslots)
            • Lost (2hr, 2 part in re-runs)
            • Smallville (2h, 2 part in re-runs)
            • Star Trek: TNG (2hr, 2 part in re-runs)
            • Star Trek: DS9 (2hr, 2 part in re-runs)
            • Star Trek: VOY (2hr, 2 part in re-runs)
            • The X-Files (2hr, 2 part in re-runs)

              Yeah I checked out the battlestar wiki after posting that. Apparently there's also a dvd version that's both parts, plus and extra 12 minutes plus scrolling credits so it really is presented as a feature length movie.

                Yeah it is; on the BD you can watch it as it aired or as the feature-length. Which is awesome, by the way.

                  Actually, these were aired back to back.

                    Were they? Been a while, guess I forgot.

                      I might be wrong but I think 24 ended with a two part finale airing the same night, but due to the rather unique structure of 24, that may not particularly count.

                      Monk had a two part series finale but they aired a week apart, which was quite torturous.

                      Avatar The Last Airbender had a four part finale, but since they were only half hour episodes, it came out to 2 hours.

                      All I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are more.
