(13)Not what we expected, but exactly what we wanted to see.

Seinfeld, one of the greatest shows in Television, encountered greater success with its culmination then most shows in pop culture history. “The Finale” ended with a bang having over 76 million viewers tune in to examine the 23^rd and 24^th episode of the last Season. However was it the ending that we were hoping for? It sure wasn’t for me.

It was one of the greatest letdowns ever because after all of the no learning and no hugging, you would think they would show us a different side. Throughout the series, the creators have been very mind-blowing with the different shenanigans that they pull. Why would they end it all in the little ole town of Latham, Mass. In addition, the events that occurred were so unreal. Throughout the years Seinfeld always proved a point about daily minutiae (or minutiae in gen.) however the events that transpire in the finale were far from it.

All of the reason stated above as to why “The Finale” was a let down, are the same reasons why the episode was such a success. No one would have ever thought the dynamic foursome would end it in the rural town of Latham, not to mention going to jail for not practicing the “Good Samaritan Law.” During the course of Seinfeld, they have always given us something we didn’t expect, but at the same time presenting it in an everyday event. The events that occurred were unusual; however those events made it possible for us to discuss the series ten years later.
