#13 The Joke is On You

There is absolutely no better way that the writers could have ended one of the greatest sitcom series than with “The Finale”. Understandably, there were many avid SEINEFLD viewers left disappointed and upset, but anyone who was truly disappointed with this ending does not truly understand the show they had been watching for the last 10 years. “The Finale” was simply a tribute to all those who understood and appreciated what SEINFELD was all about. It would be crazy to think SEINFELD would end in some cliché tear jerking fancy manner that left you smile and satisfied, it’s simply not the shows style. Never has the show left the viewers with a smile on their face because one of the characters did something morally superior or motivated by the good of human kind, why would they start now?
What made this final episode even more spectacular was the way it reflected back on its entire past in such a short time, to say thank you to all its viewers who have never missed an episode. The writers of SEINFELD already captured all the viewers it needed they were not out to please everyone with one final episode. Instead they sent the message that these four characters are nothing but a bunch of idiots living in their own world and that’s not how life works. It told everyone that living a life with no substance gets you nowhere and the joke is on you if you believe a life like theirs is possible.
