I'm re watching it on Netflix. I watch it before I go t bed. If I fall asleep before it's over I'll watch the episode again the next night, and the next night if I need to, as many times as it takes to get through it without falling asleep. I'm currently on episode 1 of season 4. It's great to re-watch it. It brings back good memories, and it's also cool to view it from different perspective during a different phase in my life.
That moment, with Puddy just sitting and staring before the phone rings. You get the feeling he just sits like that all day waiting for something to react to. It's imo one of the most perfect bits in Seinfeld history.
I've always done a "Puddy" while sitting on a plane, long before there was a Puddy Character. It would have probably freaked the other passengers out a little, had they been paying any attention, but they were too busy either sleeping or talking or listening to music or reading. Just find a point on the wall( or on the back of the seat in front of you ) and "pop"... focus !!
Love how Larry's response is that if he'd been on the show that year, he could've talked Julia into it. Seasons 8 and 9 have their charms, but they would've been so much better if Larry David hadn't quit.
Seinfeld was the best comedy show ever in the history of TV. Nothing has beat it since then, and I feel like it's going to be a long time before something beats it in the future.
well yeah, part of the show being so good was that it was doing something new. it's impossible to invent the wheel a second time so Seinfeld won't be matched.
Seinfeld was probably the best comedy show in television history for it's time. However since it's end there have been shows that have achieved greater heights. Curb your enthusiasm was one of those shows imo that set a higher bar.
adfggffffffddffd You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There is no show that will stand the test of time more than Seinfeld. You can watch every episode a million times, and it never gets old. You probably like friends...
I love the Finale and the idea Larry came up with is brilliant. Yes, the fact that it ends with the first conversation of the Pilot, the fact that they never changed and ended up together was just great. But also I really loved that it was the anti sitcom or show ending. No weddings, no babies, no happy ending. They set it up that way and then they end up in jail. Jail! Just brilliant. These were characters we all love still, but they are incredibly selfish and kind of terrible people. The ending was merited. It was perfect.
cactaceous I didn’t mind them going to jail but the reason why they went to jail was silly and didn’t fit the show at all. The biggest reason why i wish i had never seen the finale is that we got 179 incredibly funny episodes just to finish with an incredibly unfunny episode. It wasn’t genious. All the cast members think it was bad, even Jerry said the whole episode didn’t fit the show.
@@epicon6 yet ironically, he then also says just a few minutes later that the series deserved to have something kind of larger at least tried to be attained
LOL I think its fantastic that the last line on the show was talking about the button on Georges shirt... which happened to also be the first line on the show in the pilot.
You noticed that too.It's too perfect to be coincidence.The cast and Larry didn't mention it in the reminiscing round table discussion before they showed it as the last scene,of the last show.That makes me think that they wanted to keep it their little secret.And if anyone catches it like you and I, it's a bonus and a reminder of their genius.
I think this tiny repeated incident demonstrates that no one in this group has changed or grown. The show is about nothing and that nothing defines these people. And that is what makes most other sitcoms unbearable to watch...they purport to be about something more and are always trying to teach you lessons. Seinfeld is the absolute best of a bad lot.
I never watched the show when it was on and all the hype about the "finale" MADE ME WATCH THE LAST Show 1st...and I realized it was BRILLIANT. A Sitcom where the characters actually paid for the 'sins' they committed...it had never been done before...I have been a fan ever since and have seen EVERY episode at least once if not 5 times...love Seinfeld always will and try to recruit fans...THANKS David and Jerry!
"Haven't we had this conversation before?" "You think?" "I think we have.." "..Yeah, maybe we have..." (slowly pans out, silence except the riff, the final curtain call of arguably the best sitcom ever) I always feel emotional watching this part.
Theres an interview with LD about the making of this show and how it came to be. He mentions time and time again how much doubt he had in his own ability to write a comedy show. He was constantly thinking it was going to fail. Yet he was able to consistently create too notch material that cemented this show in history as one of the all time best. It wasn't a fluke either he did it again with Curb your enthusiasm. A true comedy genius
This show is art. It evolved and blossomed. And it's so rich with details and strange moments; Putty sitting there before the phone rings ... that decision, to have him just vacant, was genius. We don't know how long he's been there, if that's what he does at home. It's hilarious.
i know this is a 2yr old comment but whatever. i just recently watched an episode where him and elaine are sitting on the aeroplane. there’s a point where he literally happily sits on the plane seat and stares at the seat in front of him and it made me laugh so much
I'm surprised that many of the 'hardcore' fans weren't thrilled with the last episode. I thought it was brilliant. Seinfeld had some of the most iconic characters in TV history, you had to bring them all back one final time. And the idea of them all coming back and retelling stories related to how dysfunctional the four of them were was genius.
yeah i've never particularly understood the backlash what else could they have done? of course, in these days of post - How I Met Your Mother finale, i'm sure people can easily see something like the Seinfeld finale in a whole different, much more appreciative light, lol
Jack Morrison it was a difficult show to end because it’s not like other shows where there could be a happy ending with characters getting married and things like that. As much as people like to criticize the finale, I’ve never heard anyone say what they wanted to see happen.
My biggest issue was that I never found it very funny. All of the characters coming back always felt like some cheap gimmick. I think Jerry had it right with the scale thing. For me, a regular episode of Seinfeld would have been the perfect finale over anything grand. The finale has nice moments, but it's a lesser ep of the show.
@Jeff Blake A better ending would be a la Blackadder, with all the characters dead in a room and bizarro jerry and friends laughing. Replace Elaine with Sue Anne Mishky, and the show could have kept going.
Does anyone know what period of time Larry keeps referring to not being there? And that such-and-such character was "after me"? IMDb credits Larry with being involved with every single episode ever just like Jerry.
Larry has a point about finale expectations. I haven't watched the show when it aired, but years after when it aired in my country. I watched the finale without realizing it's the finale. I watched it without expectations, and i thought it was the best episode i watched. Little did i know i was the last one.
Still to this day, THE greatest sitcom to ever air. The fact it still holds up is really something else. I suppose that's the benefit of making a show about nothing. People can always relate to nothing.
That last line almost got me in the feels because it was a repeat of the first line in the series. The fact that they repeat it and recognize it means they've run out of things to talk about, and that made it feel really empty and cold to me.
I always thought it was genius that they started the show with conversation about the buttons on George's shirt, and ended with the exact same conversation.
I watched every episode of Seinfeld in its original run; and I viewed the finale as a big thank you to its longtime viewersby brining back all the the best scenes.
Seinfeld was so damn funny! At it's best it was, for me, sheer delight to watch. And at it's worst it was still much more entertaining than anything else on. The acting of the 4 principles was profoundly good, and the writing/general creativity of Jerry and Larry is just some of the cleverest funniest material ever filmed. I can't express enough gratitude for everyone involved with making the show. They brought joy to millions and millions for years. They should be proud. My deepest thanks!!!
The finale was perfect for me. They are at the finish line and what a better way to celebrate it with bringing back all those moments for us to enjoy one last time.
Huge Seinfeld fan. I really disliked the finale when it first aired. Now, looking back, and re-watching a number of times, I really feel that the finale was pretty smart. It highlighted the complete selfishness of the characters. And we got to see many of the bit characters that helped the show through the years.
I think it was poor for the exact same reason. It highlighted the selfishness of the characters. If it was a drama, or some sort of morality piece, that would be great. For comedy? No, just no. The whole story didn't work because all the rules established in previous episodes were thrown out. You know, objectively they weren't much more selfish than the average person; they were just shameless and unapologetic about it, which was part of the humour.
The finale was too intellectual and smart for the average TV viewer. Seinfeld appealed to everyone because it dealt so cleverly with everyday issues. I love the show and the finale, but I can see the disappointment--suddenly the show infamously about nothing becomes about something.
@@jokerswildio People judge comedy shows by their funniest episodes. As a finale, people expected it to be the funniest episode, and it wasn't. It was definitely like the shows that whatsisname guy did before he left, they were funny, but they were more about the premise than the joke. Thats why actors like that stuff. The last two years had the funniest stuff, the problem with making them into caricatures is that when it works its hilarious, but when it doesn't work, it just looks stupid. And while the last two seasons had some of the funniest shows, they also had some of the stupidest ones. And when a show is just about the 'funny', as this one was in the last two years, then everybody expected funny beyond Kenny's Roasters, which was as out there funny as they could get. I thought it was brilliant, but it just wasn't as funny as some of those last two seasons got. I think if they had left the premise to some of the new writers it would have been funnier. But the idea that some people actually wanted Elaine and Jerry to get together in the end just goes to show how many really didn't 'get' this show.
@@jokerswildio i think it could be done more intelligently. For example 1 year of jail time for not helping someone? they could've come up with something better than that to punish the characters
I enjoyed the honesty of semantics this interview contained above anything that's been said in the last 25 yr,s about Seinfeld, witty, warm, honest to the end.
I actually enjoyed the finale. Seeing the memorable part time characters come back as character witnesses and then Jerry doing stand up in prison. That was good.
so, no one wanted to comment on how perfect that part was when kramer said "don't you two see..that you're you love with each other?!" he seems to not be getting the attention his performance deserves.
I have, like so many others, watched the whole thing from 'cover to cover' multiple times. I never really thought too much about Larry's absence from the show in the last two seasons, but now, despite enjoying many of the post-Larry episodes, can see that there is a certain something, a particular glue that Larry had, which grounded each episode. I like that the post-Larry episodes were messing with form and writing more absurdist material, but Larry just had a kind of magical touch. Even though the UK version of the Office came along a few years later, prompting Hollywood to do much less expensive one camera, location shoots, the three camera studio comedies remained, to a lesser extent. But nobody has been able to capture the essence of a Seinfeld. It still stands as a singular masterpiece.
I never really realized how at the very end of the final episode when they're all sitting in the jail cell talking about George's button how significant it was...then it dawned on me that the jail cell became their booth from the coffee shop that and it was then perfect...
He was the most serious when it came to shooting the scenes. He would get frustrated at the other actors if they forgot their lines, or laughed, or anything that would require to do a retake.
Chaz Z that’s probably because his parts required so much more physical energy than the others. He had to really give it 110% every time he busts through the door into Jerry’s apartment. I think anyone would get annoyed if someone else messed up lines when you have to do that each take
@@irishhungrydwarf9015 Exactly. HIs mannerisms and sounds he'd create were more improve, and spur of the moment/spontaneous. So to have to keep doing it over and over, probably wasn't easy.
+Lauren I've watched the show start to finish maybe 4 times over the years, not once ever did I notice she was pregnant! Yer right, the fashion played a huge part, very well executed!

Steve - Please tell me you do it at home sitting on the couch too.
Typical Larry David:
"What if this season, Elaine just gets fat?"
"You know what? That's a really good idea! That's a great idea!"
That was done on 'Frasier.' Jane Leeves (Daphne) was pregnant and they worked it into the show, even sent her to fat camp.
And they did it on Mad Men too with January Jones.
Mac got fat in always sunny

I thought it was brilliant, but it just wasn't as funny as some of those last two seasons got. I think if they had left the premise to some of the new writers it would have been funnier.
But the idea that some people actually wanted Elaine and Jerry to get together in the end just goes to show how many really didn't 'get' this show.
@@jokerswildio i think it could be done more intelligently. For example 1 year of jail time for not helping someone? they could've come up with something better than that to punish the characters
Horrible then and now...just like the finale of MASH....they forget why people tune in to watch.
I enjoyed the honesty of semantics this interview contained above anything that's been said in the last 25 yr,s about Seinfeld, witty, warm, honest to the end.
I actually enjoyed the finale. Seeing the memorable part time characters come back as character witnesses and then Jerry doing stand up in prison. That was good.
12:37 So many people are able to let that go and just enjoy what the writers and team we love created together. I think the finale is fantastic!
1:44~ HAHA OMG, George running and bobbin his head around and shit is absolutely hilarious. LMGDFAO
"JERRY!" It always awesome to be "home" and revisit our meaningful roommates/career keepers. Stay safe everyone!
Exactly right about the finale. There is NO WAY they could have matched the expectations that the show's fans made for themselves. It was well done.
I like when Elaine had to write an autobiography for J Peterman and she has that sudden realization where she says: "People love INTERESTING writing!"
Greatest show ever made. I understand everyone has different taste but I'm always astonished when someone doesn't like Seinfeld.
I got into an argument w someone at a party in high school bc they thought the show sucked lol
The final episode was so neat. Just perfect.
Argh I love seeing them all sitting around like this. I’d pay good money to just watch them reminisce together.
Love this behind-the-scenes talk.
Lol at Jerry. "Peterman got every bit out of every word" - so damn true
My fave episode is when Elaine ate King Edward's wedding cake 😂🍰. My god that cake looked so good
Michael Richard is so handsome.
Was surprised he doesn't really look like Kramer!!
My favorite show. Love whole cast, including Jerry!
She got off way too easy; anyone else would have been fired and arrested.
The librarian was one of my favorite episodes
A funny scene with the library cop is that Jerry tells him he doesn't drink coffee, yet he has a show about drinking coffee now.
I miss this show so much. I wish they had continued forever. Their chemistry was impeccable!
so, no one wanted to comment on how perfect that part was when kramer said "don't you two see..that you're you love with each other?!" he seems to not be getting the attention his performance deserves.
I have, like so many others, watched the whole thing from 'cover to cover' multiple times. I never really thought too much about Larry's absence from the show in the last two seasons, but now, despite enjoying many of the post-Larry episodes, can see that there is a certain something, a particular glue that Larry had, which grounded each episode. I like that the post-Larry episodes were messing with form and writing more absurdist material, but Larry just had a kind of magical touch.
Even though the UK version of the Office came along a few years later, prompting Hollywood to do much less expensive one camera, location shoots, the three camera studio comedies remained, to a lesser extent. But nobody has been able to capture the essence of a Seinfeld. It still stands as a singular masterpiece.
I love when George tackles Bette Midler.
The finale was perfect, just about everyone was there and as usual it's funny 🤣🦘🇭🇲
I never really realized how at the very end of the final episode when they're all sitting in the jail cell talking about George's button how significant it was...then it dawned on me that the jail cell became their booth from the coffee shop that and it was then perfect...
having them in the café a year later saying 'boy THAT was brutal" would have been a nice touch. But it would have raised people's hopes too much.
And the most important lesson learned is, no double dipping, ever....
One of my favorites tv shows
Larry Davis the master of chaos. Jerry was a genius to work with him.
It's funny how Larry just said, "No Kidding?" instead of apologizing for wanting the Elaine is Fat plotline! Lol
So funny, Kramer inside Seinfeld the most insane but outside Seinfeld the most sane.
He was the most serious when it came to shooting the scenes. He would get frustrated at the other actors if they forgot their lines, or laughed, or anything that would require to do a retake.
Chaz Z that’s probably because his parts required so much more physical energy than the others. He had to really give it 110% every time he busts through the door into Jerry’s apartment. I think anyone would get annoyed if someone else messed up lines when you have to do that each take
@@irishhungrydwarf9015 Exactly. HIs mannerisms and sounds he'd create were more improve, and spur of the moment/spontaneous. So to have to keep doing it over and over, probably wasn't easy.
I dunno... you seen his laugh factory breakdown?
@@Electricshrock It's been 14 years. Let it go.
Best series of all time!! Just genius !!
I think the 90s fashion, helped cover up Julia's pregnancy.
+Lauren I've watched the show start to finish maybe 4 times over the years, not once ever did I notice she was pregnant! Yer right, the fashion played a huge part, very well executed!
Jean jackets and puffy shirts ftw :-P
The clip they showed with her dressed in what looked like a clown outfit, you can see she's very pregnant there. @@FLYINGTHOR
Yeah, too bad it wasn't cover up Seinfeld's stupidity and is horse-face!
I, personally think, the comma, used in your comment, was completely, and totally, unnecessary.
The cast was perfect for their characters. There was not 1 star but 4 stars who shinned very brightly for 9 years.
I must say, now in 2019 I appreciate the ending a lot more..
Love Seinfeld! Best sitcom ever!
I loved the "finale" the first time I saw it
I will forever love this show ❤
No idea she was pregnant.
What, she didn't tell you?
She let alln of us know during the 4th of July picnic.
23chrisfm *resists urge to vomit*
Me too!
Such a bunch of "classy" guys, quite the "feel good" kinda' atmosphere that's so uplifting and fulfilling....
Proud to be a male.......!
Chris K too bad you failed at being a man.
Truly could have gone on for 9 more years minimum.. loved every second!
When Jerry said "Well it's only a year",I thought he was gonna do that joke about a long time not being long
im so shocked he didnt!!!! :/
Weekends always go by fast, then there's showers and meals. It's like 6 months really. It'll go by like that >snaps fingers
The dialogue in the show often reminded me of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" - smart stuff.
I loved the finale at the time, I must've been a teen young adult, down here in Aotearoa New Zealand, we only had 3 TV channels then 😂
You know when the show is perfect, you just wanna sit there with them and make a stupid smile every time they laugh as if you are part of the team.
"That was brutal!" If they'd added this scene at the end, it would have killed. Really funny
"That was brutal!" LOL! That would have been hilarious.
wow, so, if all the extra's got together for a movie, it would probably be the best movie ever.
they all got so much praise.
its hard to believe.
