Hellooooooo Nietzsche

Many Seinfeld fans did not like the final episode but I thought it was great. The way they created a story that put the characters’ ..eh…character on trial was brilliant. Bringing all the crazy people from the past years of the show as prosecution witnesses was great. This was a show “about nothing” ie..nihilism. These 4 people led self-absorbed lives which imprisoned them and cut off any growth. On tv its fun to watch them but when you meet these types in real life, it sucks. So putting them in prison, and having them start the same conversation they had on the pilot episode was an appropriate ending. And I thought it was funny too.


Speaking of final episodes, didcha know the Cheers show was supposed to end the year before it did. The writers wrote the episode where Woody and Kelly get married as if it were the finale. When the cast voted to go another year, the wedding episode became an hour long season ender. I have this on tape and to this day when I need a laugh I watch it. The whole thing is a farce and works very well, almost like a play. This would have been the best show ending episode ever, but instead the Cheers actual final episode stunk. So Newhart still has the honor of “Best Show Finale Ever”.
