"The Pilot" Could have been the last episode

[Schmoopie]

Had Seinfeld ended a lot earlier than it did (although I'm extremely glad it didn't!), I think that they could have used "The Pilot" as the final episode. I hadn't watched it in forever, and I was watching it last night!

The first time I watched it, I was at a friends house for a Cheer's Finale-watching party. I didn't care for Cheers, but when I heard that they were going to be watching Seinfeld too, well...

I know a lot of people didn't like the real finale with the trial and all that. Even though I did like it (not as much as other episodes though), this one (The Pilot) would have been great to use. They showed people from their past (The Bubble Boy, the Old Man-who points at the TV and says "There's the idiot who stole my records!" , and even JFK Jr.!!!

I loved when George is obsessed with the fact that the guy who played Kramer in the pilot took those raisins from the audition meeting! He went on and on and on about that, and then confronted him! Even Jerry wanted to know if the guy took the raisins!

My favorite part had to be when George called about the results of his biopsy:

GEORGE: This is George Costanza, I'm calling for my test results. Negative? Oh, my God. WHY! WHY! WHY? What? What? Negative is good? Oh, yes of course! How stupid of me. Thank you. Thank you very much. (he hangs up)
