Seinfeld & The Psychology Of The Sitcom: An Analysis Of Why America HATED That Finale
While you will often see the word polarizing being thrown out a lot in regard to a number of series finales, the finale of Seinfeld really doesn’t fall under that purview as it was pretty much universally hated by both fans and critics. But that leaves the question… why?
Originally this video was simply going to be a breakdown of the final episode, but I’d argue the finale is perfectly consistent with the tone of and a thematically fitting conclusion to the series. So, why did fans react in such a hostile manner?
Well, if you will indulge me in a drawn out, pretentious video essay that touches upon an array of topics from the audience’s deeper relationship with mass media entertainment to Sigmund Freud’s theory of the unconscious, I would be happy to present a theory.
