You know who ruined the Seinfeld finale? The liberal media!
I read Bill O'Reilly's new book, A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, over the weekend. The title comes from something a nun called him when he was a kid. Besides finding out how much of a great guy he is (I found this out from O'Reilly, not from friends or associates), I also found out why the series finale of Seinfeld was so bad. It was the liberal media's fault.That's right, the FOX News host says that Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are so cynical that they "tanked the final episode on purpose." They wanted to go out on such a low note that they made purposely made the last episode bad.
I have a lot of problems with the episode. It wasn't particularly funny, I don't think that even the self-centered foursome would let a guy get carjacked without doing anything, and I hated the fact that they brought back dozens of old characters for the court trial, especially when we had already seen those characters in the clips show that aired right before the finale. It was like a mini-clips show within the episode itself (and the whole trial was silly - doesn't David understand that these four were already punished in almost every episode for nine years?).
Speaking of that clips show, O'Reilly doesn't even know they did one. His suggestion to Seinfeld and David is that they should have done a clips show instead of the finale. The clips show ran immediately before the finale, and was seen by approximately a gazillion people (except O'Reilly, apparently). In fact, to get technical here, Seinfeld did a clips show for their 100th episode too.
Great fact-checking. I wonder if he has the same standards on The Factor?
