I didn't like the writing of the last couple seasons of <i>Seinfeld </i>on the whole myself.
But what I loved about that finale is that Seinfeld and Davis and crew are practically admonishing the audience for being such fans of such hedonistic misanthropes. The characters are judged unfit for society, but the jokes on us, as we followed them along for 8(?) years. They sit in the holding cell at the end and revive a conversation from the first episode. They've grown nada. They defied all expectations for TV shows, and fans stuck with them. And for that loyalty, we're repaid by being reminded that the characters are indeed caricatures who have held our attentions prisoner for nearly a decade. No, I thought the ending was a marvelous tweak of my and other fans' noses.
