Throughout the 1990s, the hit show "Seinfeld" brought a unique brand of humor to the world of primetime sitcoms. The brainchild of comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld ran for nine successful seasons on NBC and remains popular. The show follows Seinfeld and a group of other 30-somethings as they navigate life in New York City. However, instead of focusing on significant events, the show primarily highlights the funny quotidian happenings that make up real life. Unlike many sitcoms, "Seinfeld" isn't afraid to use sarcasm and dark humor, which is a big part of its appeal to viewers. Furthermore, the characters all have their own sets of neurosis that make them relatable and unique.

The characters often deal with minor issues that hilariously snowball into significant problems due to their actions. In a typical sitcom format, these problems usually resolve by the end of each episode and offer memorable laughs. Unfortunately, although this show features plenty of hilarious and heartwarming plotlines, there are some stories that even diehard fans can't stand. Some of these storylines are borderline offensive and invite controversy, while others simply fall flat. Some fans still voice their dislike for these failed storylines over two decades after the series went off the air.

#1. I was never a big fan of this show, generally seized any opportunity to not watch it in fact.

2. During the past year, changed that because everything else is so played out. Up to now I've seen maybe 1/3 of all the episodes

I'm really surprised they list the finale. The prospect of all the petty evils they've committed all coming together at once, at the worst possible time, to haunt them....I thought was genius. Especially when they called the Soup Nazi. The opportunity for him to get revenge for Elaine publicizing his recipes had me in stitches.

I thought the whole Kramer runs away to California,.... was a high point too,...

But what really mystifies me is that both of those eps got mentioned, while the "astronaut pen" episode did not. The couch that destroys the back of all who sleep on it, is monotonous. can't believe it rates mention in multiple episodes.......YMMV

I like The Finale a lot, it's great to see the return of so many characters: Babu, Poppie, Peterman, Mr. Pitt, Babs Kramer, Keith Hernandez, Sidra (Teri Hatcher), Jackie Chiles (Phil Morris), Marla (Jane Leeves)... I like the name of the judge, there were nice touches like that. Really an intense send-off.

The Susan & George relationship didn't make sense to me. Susan was from an upscale, wealthy family whereas George was basically a loser. She could have done a lot better than him.
