Does "Seinfeld" still hold up 15 years later? Of course it does.

Seinfeld's writing was so meticulously metered out and structured,this facet of the show's existence alone makes it extremely difficult to grow tired of.Alot of people actually felt a little disappointed with the program's finale though I don't see exactly how or why.Along with "Honeymooners'" Ed Norton,Cosmo Kramer is one of the two greatest next door neighbors ever.Larry David is a brilliant and highly effective comic master who was obviously highly influenced by Woody Allen,who originally found HIS comedic motivations through some of the all time greatest such as Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx.What wonderful tradition!

Fifteen years ago today, "Seinfeld" ended its massively successful run with a finale that had people everywhere wondering, "What's the deal with that 'Seinfeld' finale?"

But if the "Seinfeld" finale's endless procession of guest stars and puzzling ending had fans questioning if the series really was a show about nothing, it wasn't alone. As we ponder the fact that "Seinfeld" ended 15 years ago and take extra notice of those wrinkles in the mirror, here are a handful of other series finales that didn't end things on a bright note.

15 years already it has been a long time. I was 10 when Seinfeld ended in May 1998.

In 1989, comedian Jerry Seinfeld performed a grand experiment for NBC: a show about… nothing. Nine years and around 200 episodes later, though, that show about nothing turned out to be a whole lot of something when the iconic Seinfeld became the standard by which sitcoms are set today. Throughout its nine year span, Seinfeld explored the humor of the little things in everyday life through four neurotic and rather mean spirited friends trying to make their way through modern day New York City through rather hilarious means.

They made us laugh, they made us cry from laughter, and occasionally they made us weep for the future of humanity, but we still managed to get a laugh out of it anyway. The show, which was really nothing more than a cult favorite in its beginning, skyrocketed to stardom probably in its fourth season where we saw such episodes as “The Trip,” “The Contest,” “The Junior Mint,” and “The Pilot” among many other fan favorites. That’s why it came as an unfortunate surprise to us fans that Jerry Seinfeld had quit the show in 1998, when the show had truly hit its stride, to pursue other opportunities and to focus on his stand up career.

The 15th anniversary of the show’s infamous series finale fell this past May, so now we showcase the top 15 episodes to hit the NBC airwaves that are guaranteed to make you miss the gang.
