The amount of media scrutiny and coverage for the finale was on par with Star Wars Episode I. It was unreal. They even had security copies of the script so if anything was leaked they would know where it came from. Larry David came back after being gone for two seasons.

Sure it wasn't a groundbreaking episode. But it made for a nice bookend for the series. The final scene in the prison cell was great. "Have we had this conversation before?" tying in with a bit in the first episode covering buttons on shirts.

Jerry doing standup in prison when the credits were running was also a nice touch:

Jerry: So what is the deal with the yard? I mean when I was a kid my mother wanted me to play in the yard. But of course she didn't have to worry about my next door neighbor Tommy sticking a shiv in my thigh. And what's with the lockdown? Why do we have to be locked in our cells? Are we that bad that we have to be sent to prison, in prison? You would think the weightlifting and the sodomy is enough. So, anyone from Cellblock D?
Prisoner 1: I am.
Jerry: I'll talk slower. I'm kidding - I love Cellblock D. My friend George is in Cellblock D. What are you in for sir?
Prisoner 2: Murder one.
Jerry: Murder one? Oooooo, watch out everybody. Better be nice to you. I'm only kidding sir - lighten up. How about you, what are you in for?
Prisoner 3: Grand theft auto.
Jerry: Grand theft auto - don't steal any of my jokes.
Prisoner 3: You suck! I'm gonna cut you!
Jerry: Hey I don't come down to where you work and knock the license plate out of your hand.
