# 13 A FINAL SUCCESS

The last episode of Seinfeld, “The Finale” was a great end to the sitcom. It was creative way to show the four main characters end up in jail, rather then Jerry’s apartment. A lot of people in jail might be worried about how they got there but as usual they focus on stuff that doesn’t matter; when Jerry is so focused on George’s button placement. This talk about daily minutiae is relevant to the whole sitcom, “A show about nothing.” Larry David came up with a way to incorporate all previous characters that frequent viewers were familiar with. Except to the viewer who only watched “The Finale” is left confused. It isn’t really one of those shows that it is easy to pick up by watching one episode, which is a downfall. To the common viewer they would understand the feeling of anxiousness when Elaine says, “I love United Airlines.” To someone who just picked it up would not really understand why. “The Finale” left you hanging about a few things but still ended it with Jerry’s comedic act.
