The Last Reunion

To the ever loyal Seinfeld fan who manages to never miss a show, this final episode was a superior success. In "The Finale" (May 14, 1998), all of the characters were brought together for the first and last time. Even secondary characters were once again brought back, including the Soup Nazi. Furthermore, the former memories from past shows were once again resurfaced.
On the other hand, it may have been a let down to the many who did not watch Seinfeld from the beginning and on a rigid frequent basis. The casual viewer more than likely did not find most of the jokes, mannerisms, and humor referring to previous episodes as funny. In fact, they may not have even gotten the references at all, making it less entertaining and just plain dull. The general audience, however, expressed an upset opinion claiming that it was a terrible way to end Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer's last show since they are such talented loved characters and actors. Outcomes that were anticipated and hoped for did not sustain, and hardly anything out of the ordinary happened as a final surprise. Unfortunately, "The Finale", did not rock most people's world as it previously had. But even to this day, Seinfeld has set the high standard to every modern American sitcom filmed since their time and on.
