The show was about NOTHING. They went to jail for doing NOTHING. The first line to the show 9 years ago was about buttons, and the last line was about buttons. It all came full circle. About NOTHING.
It was a perfect ending, you "what a crappy finale" morons.
I thought the whole idea of going to jail for doing NOTHING was really funny! Though there weren't any "ha ha" lines to laugh at in the episode.
Yeah, the idea behind it was funny, but the execution was horrible and unfunny.
It was a good idea for an ending but not an actual good ending.
Nice observation...I didn't really think about that

Very well put. I'm glad to see there others who actually got it. A classic from a classic show. It just goes to show who's been watching from the beginning and who jumped on the bandwagon when it became cool to stand around the water cooler, or coffee machine, talking about Nothing.
It seems that most people "got it," they just did not find it very funny...as far as I remember, sitcoms are supposed to be funny.
A classic
No, it shows who are the sheep that will accept any amount of worthless, overhyped television and who expects, I don't know, something *funny* when watching a sitcom.

No, the show was not about nothing...that's little more than a gag from an episode. The show was about the lives of four people, and the strange observations that they have in normal, everyday circustances...it was about four people and their self-centered, selfish ways, and the situations that they got into because of the,.
Mainly though, it was funny...for nine years it was funny...until last nights waste of an hour. Your little theory is nice, but in practice it did not pan out. No laughs = lousy.

I thought they couldn't have done it better, IMHO.

The show was about nothing. But the whole point was to take things that could happened in everyday life, slightly exaggerate them and there was your comedy. The Chinese Restaurant Episode, The Parking Garage, The Outing, etc. They lost that edge a while ago, and were doing the same "forget everything about reality" type sitcoms that everyone else was doing.
