I find that it gets a bit too cutesy with its endings. Seinfeld was never a "gosh, we learned something today" show; quite the contrary.


Yeah, the whole point of Seinfeld was the point of No Exit: If these were better people, they could leave their Hell and move on, but they're not, so they're stuck with each other. For them, "Hell is other people" in that they choose to be with the ones who torment them the most, and who they torment the most, because they lack the capacity to choose otherwise.


The key is token-starving it so it can't ever write that ending.


Yes the show moto was "no hugging, no learning"
