Saying <\/span>Seinfeld\u2019s<\/span><\/i> ending was controversial is an understatement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sitcom series, which garnered more than <\/span>76 million viewers<\/span><\/a><\/span> during its final episode, left a bad taste in its audience’s mouth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The crime was so foul that Jerry Seinfeld himself <\/span>says<\/span><\/span><\/a> he regrets the way it was handled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even co-creator Larry David attempted to give fans closure by filming a \u201creunion\u201d episode in season seven of his own program, <\/span>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While many fans lost admiration for the two comedy juggernauts following the 56-minute ending, let’s revisit it.<\/span><\/p>\n

For context, <\/span>Seinfeld\u2019s <\/span><\/i>finale sees the unapologetic quartet breaking the \u201cGood Samaritan\u201d law after idly standing by and laughing as a helpless man gets carjacked at gunpoint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The episode then follows the gang as they try to beat the case with everyone\u2019s favorite lawyer, Jackie Chiles. But the episode inevitably ends with the four serving a full year in prison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avid fans of the series were disappointed to see their beloved personalities have a sour end to their stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Facing the consequences of their actions was nothing new for the sitcom\u2019s characters, but the fact that David and Seinfeld acknowledged how morally bankrupt the group was made viewers feel like they were taking a middle finger to the face instead of being rewarded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where the disconnect between the writing and the audience becomes clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
NINA CUESTA \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pushback can be identified differently by two separate groups of <\/span>Seinfeld<\/span><\/i> fans: Those who tuned in every Thursday at 9 p.m. looking for a laugh and those aware of the <\/span>\u201cno hugging, no learning\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/a> rule but hoped that David would give in to sitcom formalities and send everyone home comfortable and happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The latter is the smoking gun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What has always given <\/span>Seinfeld <\/span><\/i>a distinct feel from other sitcoms of its era is the running joke that the show is about \u201cnothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a series that prided itself on the absurdity of everyday life instead of a so-called \u201cescape from reality.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While there is no denying that, there is more nuance to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Realistically, all sitcoms are about \u201cnothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No grand, philosophical theme ties them together, but the presence of possible romantic relationships between characters, character growth and lesson-learning gives it some sort of storyline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seinfeld <\/span><\/i>was never interested in providing fans what they wanted. Its interest was the exact opposite of <\/span>Cheers <\/span><\/i>or <\/span>A Different World<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The textbook definition of an \u201canti-sitcom.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seasons went by, and the show continued to push more buttons than a baby with a switch box.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, NBC<\/span><\/a> never put its foot down and hit self-destruct for the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A comfort comedy where its main characters turn on each other, rob an elderly woman for her rye bread and leave their deceased fianc\u00e9 only minutes after their passing to grab some coffee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I just described sounds like an after-hours presentation on AdultSwim, not a 90s network program appealing to mainstream audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

More importantly, notice how comedies of the current age that take inspiration from <\/span>Seinfeld<\/span><\/i>, most notably <\/span>It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia<\/span><\/i>, is a TV-MA production on FXX and not something akin to <\/span>Big Bang Theory<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NBC utilizing David and Seinfeld to write jokes that kept it TV-PG was equivalent to fitting a square peg in a round hole. Their ability to not just cross the line, but leap over it and remain untouched by the studio was groundbreaking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was an irregularity, a glitch in the system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Putting this into perspective makes <\/span>Seinfeld\u2019s <\/span><\/i>finale all the more brilliant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It butters you up in the beginning with Jerry and George\u2019s pilot being picked up by NBC once again and a tease of Jerry and Elaine\u2019s romantic revival, just to pull the rug right from under you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix that in with a full-circle moment for \u201cArt Vandelay,\u201d a conversation about shirt buttons that elicits d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu and a stand-up routine for inmates in the end credits, to create a masterclass in light-hearted cynicism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seinfeld <\/span><\/i>was never solely a show about \u201cnothing.\u201d It was a show that critiqued and rejected societal norms in a hilarious and immoral fashion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get down with that, then \u201cno soup for you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
