Seinfeld star agrees with critics of the widely-disliked series finale: 'It didn't quite land in the way that they wanted.'
On May 14, 1998, 76 million people had something to say about the"show about nothing." The Seinfeld series finale, titled"The Finale," was widely viewed as a disappointment: as one critic wrote, the divisive episode was"like a middle finger to viewers who wanted confirmation that the characters had grown or at least seen the error of their ways." But the sitcom created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld had long had an unofficial rule of"no learning, no hugging.
In the end, Judge Vandelay sentences Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer to a year in prison,"Removed from society so that you can contemplate the manner in which you have conducted yourselves." For many viewers — including co-star Wayne Knight, who played Jerry's long-running nemesis Newman — the verdict on the Seinfeld finale wasn't quite sponge-worthy.
In between the clips and the cameos, David wanted to"show that these people are not deserving of any glory," Knight added about the self-centered and cynical group of friends, who wind up behind bars in the show's final scene."He wanted them to have the worst time possible. And as a concept, that works, but I don't know if it works as a finale."
As the comedian wrote in a Reddit Q&A in 2014,"I was happy with the Seinfeld finale because we didn't want to do another episode as much as we wanted to have everybody come back to the show we had so much fun with. It was a way to thank all of the people who worked on the show over the years that we thought made the show work. I don't believe in trying to change the past but I'm very happy with it.
