If Castle Rock had buried the episode forever, no one would have missed it even putting aside the questionable racial material, the episode is painfully boring, like being stuck in traffic behind a slow-moving parade. It did get some it was criticized in its day for its portrayal of Puerto Ricans (along with Kramer accidentally burning the Puerto Rican flag), which caused it to be pulled from summer repeats on NBC and removed from the Seinfeld syndication package for a while.

Though the series finale got all the negative reviews, the penultimate Seinfeld deserved the bad press.
And here is all of it, ranked from worst to best.ġ76. For us to still be talking about Seinfeld 20 years later, it’s clear that the “show about nothing” was really something. But there are still so many half hours of pure genius, and even moments of greatness in the lesser episodes. Generally I found the show holds up really well. A couple of the scenarios wouldn’t work in 2018, and there’s a reason Jerry pulled the show at its ratings peak: Creatively, it had run out of gas. How could it be so long ago so soon? Am I really as old as the characters on the show now? That in turn led me to revisit many of the episodes and then, in a scheme so crazy not even Kramer would have attempted it, to rank every single one. 20 years later, the final Seinfeld remains the final Seinfeld, although the show is still beloved thanks to endless syndicated reruns, nine DVD box sets, and Hulu - where every episode is currently available for streaming.Īs an obsessive Seinfeld fan since my teenage years, the 20th anniversary of the finale made me wistful. They actually went to jail? But only for one year? Did that mean the show wasn’t canceled and that they would be back after a break? Unfortunately no, although the seventh season of Seinfeld creator Larry David’s HBO sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm became an unofficial reunion. I remember being more befuddled by the finale than angry. As the camera tracked away from the characters, Jerry critiqued the placement of the buttons on George’s shirt an exact duplicate of their first conversation on the very first episode nine years earlier. In the end, the quartet were found guilty, and tossed into prison for one year.
