Every year I sit on my couch and this day and watch this 3 hour episode. You may ask why. Which is the reason for MyTake.

This show for most of people my age, enjoyed it, and I am sure they are some who are hold something from this. Maybe it was when you were younger you could just enjoy what television was, no reality bullshit, none of this craptastic television which was stale.

Food for Thought:

The episode drew 105.97 million total viewers and a total audience of 121.6 million more than both Super Bowl XVII and the Roots miniseries. The episode surpassed the single-episode ratings record that had been set by the Dallas episode that resolved the "Who Shot J.R.?" cliffhanger. From 1983 until 2010, Goodbye, Farewell and Amen remained the most watched television broadcast in American history passed only in total viewership (but not in ratings or share) in February 2010 by Super Bowl XLIV. It still stands as the most-watched finale of any television series

I couldn't agree with you more! Not only was it the best, it was the best by far! I know I'm a man, but it made my cry. I really got invested in the characters watch it over the time it was on. I still watch reruns. Thanks for bring back great memories.
