The finale was the perfect way to take everything memorable about the previous seasons and throw them into a vortex of absolute chaos!
Having just just finished watching all 9 seasons for the first time. I had a few difficult moments trying to figure out the humour in the first few seasons, but finally realised how Seinfeld set the bar so high for every sitcom that followed in its footsteps, including Friends.
The finale was the perfect culmination of madness, offbeat storylines and a particular moving way to conclude nine groundbreaking seasons of no-holes barred, intelligent, brilliantly ordained and industry-shattering comedy.
Sure there will be some people who felt the ending was weird, disappointing or leftfield. But that was the whole point of Seinfeld - to leave everyone scratching their heads and wondering what the heck just happened, just like in most other episodes.
However the finale was more than just that. Every subcharacter or memorable plot who received their encore was given a final bow as a tacit recognition of how they had managed to make an impact alongside the almost omnipotent presence of four immensely talented actors: Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.
Bravo Seinfeld - the finale had the perfect blend of craziness, one-liners and above all, chutzpah!
