Final Show Was Excellent.

I really enjoyed the final show. I think that everyone who didn't enjoy it was not a true fan. It had all of the great characters from the past. You had to know a lot about the show to really enjoy it.

Not true. You cant just come on here and say "if you didnt like it, your not a fan". The farewell show was downright awuful and everyone knows it.

I think you have the pulse of millions of veiwers,

It was simply a lackluster episode, nothing more, nothing less.

Bill.

What show are you talking about?

My newspaper showed the ratings of the show over 9 years. It had a few years in which popularity peaked and more years in which it muddled along. So this finale is not something new. The dominant pattern was for the shows to be so-so. But when you do 9 years worth, you're bound to have some classics. Those are the ones that make people fans. They simply tolerate all the rest. And that's the way it works with comedy.

Actually, I would think it would be the opposite. One of the things that has been continuous with Seinfeld is the idea that these 4 emotionally uninvolved characters get away with quite a lot and have been doing so for 9 years. What I found troublesome with the final show is that this time these 4 characters DIDN'T get away with it. In fact, I think the show would have been much, much more clever (and much more in the vein of Seinfeld-isms) if even with the social commentary that somehow Jerry & gang DID manage to escape prison despite all the evidence stacked up against them.

Andrea, coming out of lurk-dom.

Re-watch the episode, but this time instead of passively watching it like the idiot you obviously are, try to think a little. Some have caught on; they liked it. Others haven't.

One word: NOTHING

Had it really been that, it might have worked. But instead they got into some great social statement. But they didnt know how to make that funny.

I don't think it takes much thought throwing a bunch of clips together into a flashback episode.

It may have been "awuful" but it certainly was not awful

A Show about nothing ended... with the characters getting in trouble for doing nothing... and now in confinement they sit around and do nothing...

I am at peace.

Except they didnt do nothing. They disparaged the victim of the crime. And shot video footage. That went beyond nothing to insult. Had the video not been there with the insults, they could have pleaded ignorance. It was when they did SOMETHING that they got themselves in trouble.

Actually, the trip to Paris was another pointless something. Given the nature of their friendship, they should have simply parted, said they'd write, and not did it. That would be true "nothing".

I think that the Paris line was put in to set up the Good Samaratin law that was inspired by the photographers at Princess Di's crash. Aren't I just brilliant.

Bye Jerry, you're the second jerry I have had to loose in the past 3 years. have a mello retirement.
