My VCR cut out after that.

During the credits was there anything else like the whole cast waving at the camera like at Christmas time?

I don't know what people are referring to when they say youtube has tribute credits for GL that were shown after "The End" came up on screen. My DVR always tapes into the first minutes of the show that follows GL which is "The Doctors" in my area. So I have GL's final end credits . Nothing was shown except what we've been seeing everyday. Shrunken credits of the names of those behind the scenes. Nothing else. Maybe a local station made it's own end credits or ran special credits but nationally we got zip! Someone could have done up fan made credits and put them on youtube saying they were from the last episode. Fans do it with movies all the time and actually they always look better than what the studio puts out.

All they showed was the standard short producers, writers, and director credits on the bottom third of the screen with a preview for the next episodes of Two and a Half Men & The Big Bang Theory playing on the top two-thirds of the screen. No cast listing, no pictures.

I watched the credits at the end and all I saw in my area was a list of the producers and writers. No mention of actors and actresses. No pictures.

 I took the absence of any ending credits as the final insult to GL and its fans, as if somebody was saying enough, your time is up, get off the air already.

Thanks everyone...I expected there would be...fitting I suppose given the way the show was run into the ground at the end.

I didnt get the credits; my VCR cut off too soon.  I was very disappointed.   But Sissy got them and she's giving hers to me.  I did not even THINK of the show lasting longer than usual (I have my VCR cut off at 3:55).   I saw it on youtube though.   I thought it was very moving.   They put the names up, one at a time, and showed the Lighthouse, and played the old really pretty music, instead of the new cheesy stuff.  I loved it!   fee

    It wouldn't have killed them for the final moments to show a head shot of each contract actor, give his or her character and real name and number of years they performed on the show.  Maybe even include those actors who returned, such as Nola, Holly, Bridget, Dylan Ed, and Fletcher. There was enough wasted filming of everyone at the picnic showing unflattering angles in what appeared to be a very warm day.  Home movies don't look that bad.  And the picnic theme didn't allow all characters to be there.  The fans and the actors deserved better.

    Nothing! Not even any real end credits to speak of. Very sad and a rip-off for the viewers :(
