Question

Fans discuss the finale's ending, noting that the final dialogue between Jerry and George repeats the opening of the first episode, and requesting the comedy routine Jerry performs at the end.

This was on in the UK the other night and was my first viewing. However, I taped it and missed the very end! Does anyone have the routine that Jerry uses at the very end?

Also, I've heard it said that the final dialogue between Jerry and George is a repeat of how the first show started - is this true?

The ending is the exact same as the first words ever spoken in the show. That's why George looks at Jerry and says..."haven't we discussed this before." Or something like that.

Yes, the last words are the same as the first words and this is the beauty of Seinfeld and what makes it still THE BEST, simplicity yet nothing simple about it... the humor is far ahead of anything ever shown on tv then and now...

I'm on episode 40 of the complete set of Seinfeld... I am loving my new tapes, Thanks Rona!

Well it was the only comedy I remember that was totally comedic, there was never a moment that was dramatic or serious. Even in the finale the courtroom scene was not done in a serious manner, although the music which played indicated that it was - which makes it funny for me, it was subtle effect for sure.

Yes, it's true. The first "observation" Jerry made ever on the show was about the shirt button. Also, I do have the tail(Last scene)of that episode when Jerry is doing his act in jail
