I've mentioned this in another thread, but I recently read a book called Sein-Off... The Last Days of Seinfeld.. Basically it was a book of awesome pictures from the shooting of the last episode along with a bunch of quotes from Julia, Jerry, Jason and Michael. Some of the pictures toward the end were very moving and almost had me in tears.
So that being said, I wonder what Seinfeld fans on this board thought of the last episode. I haven't seen it in a while, but I thought it was brilliant that they ended the show with the exact same line that "The Seinfeld Chronicles" started with back in 1989.
Here's the line from the first episode ("Good News, Bad News")
JERRY: Seems to me, that button is in the worst possible spot. [talking about George's shirt] The second button literally makes or breaks the shirt, look at it: it's too high! It's in no-man's-land, you look like you live with your mother.
And here's the last line from the last episode ("The Finale")
Jerry: See now, to me, that button is in the worst possible spot.
George: Really?
Jerry: Oh yeah. The second button is the key button. It literally makes or breaks the shirt. Look at it, it's too high, it's in no-man's land.
George: Haven't we had this conversation before?
Jerry: You think?
George: I think we have.
Jerry: Yeah, maybe we have.
I liked the final episode especially because it had everyone in it; from The Soup Nazi to the Low Talker. What a great way to bring everyone together!
I'll admit that I didn't think it was one of their best episodes, but the more I see it the more I liked it.
Now another question... and maybe a little embarrassing...
Did any of you devoted Seinfeld fans cry when the show ended? I have to admit that although I didn't cry, I did have a pretty heavy heart after the camera panned away from the four of them in the jail cell. And then when they showed Jerry being pulled away from the crowd in the final FINAL scene... well, that was hard to watch (even though that whole sequence was hysterical!), because it meant that it was really over
So... any thoughts?
