September 18th, 2008 11:05am EDT Post a comment

If a tree falls in the woods and 76.3 million people are there to watch it, will it make a noise? Yes! It will! It will make the most horrendous thud that can possibly be imagined.

there should be a half-hour reunion where kramer just calls everyone a X@@##!

@Billy Chapel: Initially bewildered, like everyone else. After time, my appreciation grew. I think the end scene could have been handled a *tad* better -- at least do not give people the impression their cable went out -- but, to me, there is a big difference between a vague ending and a bad ending.

it's been ten years now. i still enjoy catching the reruns every so often. i enjoy sitting around with friends reciting favorite lines. but i think a reunion would be just as bad as the finale. the whole premise would probably be jerry getting used to using a cell phone. which, as i think about it some more, would probably be far better than the finale.

Without a doubt, I need more. The best TV comeddy of our generation! Wish the Dead coluld play, and Kramer would drive while George can't find the tickets...................In a perfect world I'd bring back the REAL Jerry!

I think Jerry Seinfeld is much too busy doing Microsoft commercials with his new best friend Bill Gates to do a Seinfeld reunion.

No he's way too busy not being funny. Hey Marcus I dont think it would take a half hour to call everyone on the show that. I watched it several times and never saw any black people. But I'm sure he can come up with some choice words for Jewish people. Racists keep their options open. Always some one to hate.

It was weird but I actually liked it because they were "funny" to watch but so dang selfish if they were real people and they "deserved" the ending crafted for them.

Yup, the finale stunk, and if they could come up with a good script, then a movie could be good.

This is probably the only Seinfeld episode I have only seen 1x.

I thought it sucked. Elaine and Karmer should have got together. Gorge move to another state. And Jerry do the same thing he always does. NOTHING...lol

The ending was too vague for my tastes. I love "Seinfeld," but honestly, that was kinda bad. :/
IDK about a reunion, though. The concept is a great one, but it's just been so LONG. Do you think it would work out well? Me, I'm not so sure. Maybe it's just me.

@ debsuel8:
...Elaine and Kramer? Nonononono. That's like, against everything that is "Seinfeld." It's blasphemy, I tell you.
@ Mike R:
I agree totally with your last comment.

Yes, there was the one black guy at the Steinbrenner Organization that George kissed butt to with the black exterminator "fake buddy" routine" remember?

George had "shrinkage" which helped his character identify with half the U.S. population apparently(me NOT included)(lol), and Kramer really should've dated most of Seinfeld's women to at least have a real orgasm even if it was circumstance to Kramer having a gran mal seizure.

Give the project to John Waters. He wanted to do a LOVE BOAT reunion where everyone perishes when the boat sinks.
Maybe we should find out the Seinfeld gang and Friends freaks live in the same building.

You also forgot the family who rented Breakfast at Tiffany's, the late Marathon Runner who called a baby, "a cute little bastard," & Kramer's girlfriend and family (Grandpa said said, "I thought you were bringing a white boy over...not some damn fool.")

I would love to see a Seinfeld reunion movie. You have to admit Seinfeld was "one of the great comdies" of all time. All I have to say is, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" and the episode with Kramer waiting for the cable guy, I actually fell off the sofa laughing! Too funny!

The Seinfeld finale was not the best final show ever, but it was not as bad as you are making it out to be. What you failed to point out about shows like Mash & Cheers is that those shows "jumped the shark" 3-4 years before their finale, whereas Seinfeld is one of the few show that stayed true to what it had always been up to the end. Could the finale show have been better? Of course, but I will watch Seinfeld reruns if they are from any year first through the last, whereas shows like Mash & Cheers, and many other great shows, if it is a rerun from one of those last years of the show, I cannot even watch it, its painful.

I think the last episode was very good, except for it finishing with them in a jail cell. I think a lot of Seinfeld fans always hoped that Elaine and Jerry would get married. But whatever happened, that show sure deserved a better last scene than them sitting in that jail cell. Glenn

I happened to be watching TV when the first episode came on. I thought, "who's Seinfeld"! I thought I was supposed to know. There he was doing a standup routine and then the show. I never watched it again until it was in reruns. I have seen every episode, I think several times. I thought the final was brilliant and you should be ashamed to say it wasn't. But a reunion would still be nice, in fact I wouldn't mind if it came on again every week. The only problem is I can't wait a week between shows. I need Seinfeld every day. I love the charactors and the writers were simply fantastic.

The finale stunk! I hope the reunion will give us the kind of story line that made the show soooooo popular. Kathy
