I just looked up every episode from seasons 8 and 9 and I can truly say (for me personally obviously, not everyone may agree) there isn't a single miss. Like literally not a single one.
That's what I'm saying! I love the Puerto Rican day parade episode too. Especially the scene where Art Vandelay and Pennypacker are in the open house talking about the Saab factory.

Jason Alexander: 'Seinfeld' Killed Off Susan Because Actress Was "F—ing Impossible" to Work With
quote:
Alexander was a guest on Wednesday's Howard Stern Show and admitted that the show's writers decided to kill off Susan with poisonous envelopes because he and the rest of the cast did not enjoy sharing scenes with the actress who portrayed her. "I couldn't figure out how to play off of her," Alexander said of Swedberg, who followed her 1997 departure from the celebrated NBC sitcom with roles on Roswell, Gilmore Girls and Bones. "Her instincts for doing a scene, where the comedy was, and mine were always misfiring.
quote:
Later on in the show's run, with producers still unsure of whether Susan and George would go through with the wedding or what her future would be, Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine) shared a number of scenes with Swedberg and finally understood what Alexander had been grousing about. "They go, 'You know what? It's f—ing impossible. It's impossible,'" said Alexander, who stressed that he had nothing against Swedberg personally. "And Julia actually said, 'Don't you want to just kill her?' And Larry went, 'Ka-bang!'" Just like that, the character's fate was sealed (so to speak).

Now that i think about it. That makes sense. I always found her character to be off, in the grand scheme of the show.

The guy that wrote that article might be the most clueless motherfricker who ever lived.
Ok, second most clueless motherfricker then.

I think I just assumed they meant for her to be an awkward fit with everyone else

I mean it honestly kind of works.
The main four characters are all mentally ill (Jerry is excessive complosive, George a narcissist,Elaine anti-social disorder, and Kramer is a borderline schizophrenic. Not many people can blend with them.

Some of my absolute favorite episodes are in the last two seasons. However, there are a few episodes that are kinda meh whereas there are none like that during the Larry David years (outside of maybe the first season, which was only a handful of episodes).

I loved the finale and thought it ended fine, with the last scene being completely perfect. I think the people who complain about the finale and say it sucked just had unrealistically (and impossibly) high standards for the show's end
Agreed.
There's no ending that could have satisfied fans, and they were never going to do something grandiose like a wedding, send-off, or main character death because that's not who those characters were or what the show was.
I heard a great opinion from someone one time about how the finale of Seinfeld really should've just been a regular episode, since that's what the show was. You can watch almost any episode in random order with the slight exception of some of the 2 parters like when Kramer moves to LA.

Anyone else generally hate the whiny Jewish humor? I thought the first season of Curb was ok but can't handle more than a few minutes of any other David/Seinfeld stuff.

I always enjoyed Larry’s cameos
Man in the cape
Guy yelling out he’s allergic to peanuts
