TV Stars Who Didn't Like How Their Show Ended: Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander
Many viewers agree that the iconic ‘90s sitcom "Seinfeld" ended in a way that wasn’t entirely befitting of the show. The finale more or less plays like a “greatest hits” compilation that caps things off with a whimper.
Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza, called the finale “a good episode, not a great episode” in a 2013 chat with the Television Academy.
In 2017, Jerry Seinfeld told an audience during a New Yorker Festival interview, “I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it.”
He added, “There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy.”
For his part, Larry David, the show’s cantankerous co-creator, has remained one of the finale’s staunch defenders, and he ultimately riffed on it in "Curb Your Enthusiasm’s" own series finale.
It was something of a middle finger to those who didn’t like the way Seinfeld ended. “F--- you! You didn't like the first one? F--- you!" he quipped during an event at PaleyFest in 2024.
