So I've seen every episode multiple times and have all the seasons but I've never seen the finally and never really had an urge to. I vaguely know what it's about (please don't spoil it) but from what I could gather from Curb is that it wasn't very good? What did you guys think?

I think over the years people have gotten "used" to it more or less. Maybe not so much reviled as it is just underwhelming overall. I'd check it out.

Underwhelming is right. And there just wasn't anything to it. It's like "hey, remember this guy? Or how about this chick? haha, remember them". Yeah, we do.

It's a little better than a clips episode. Some of the stuff on the plane is kinda funny, but yeah. It feels like it wraps a lot of things up, but not in the way a lot of people would have liked.

The thing I disliked the most about the whole premise of the finale was the fact that the fat guy gets robbed at gunpoint, and the cop who arrests them later says that the law requires you to help as long as it's "reasonable" to do so. He had a god drat gun.

And really, videotaping the incident can go a long way in catching the guy. And even doing that is risky because who knows what the guy would have done if he knew they were taping him.

I guess you could say that Elaine should have called the police on her cell phone.

Elaine did at least (remember the egregious "cell phone walk and talk" from earlier in the episode?). I don't know if she took it on the trip though.

What episodes do you feel like most people havent seen, the ones rarely discussed even though they might be really good? For me it's The Close Talker with the best plotline being George faking a trip to Paris with prewritten postcards to get out of having to be a Big Brother to little Joey, then it backfires and he ends up forced to take Joey on an actual trip to Paris that he pays for.

Also the episode where the Seinfelds admit to loathing the Costanzas.
The one where George takes a limo from the airport belonging to some guy named O'Brien.

So I finally did it. I found an episode I'd never seen before: The Reverse Peephole. There's something absolutely bizarre about Jerry standing in the street, wearing a fur coat, yelling to everyone that he carries a purse.

Why don't you think it's a good show? The tagline of "It's Seinfeld on crack" pretty much describes Sunny.

I've heard that description before but when I saw it I didn't really like it much either, personally. I definitely didn't think it was terrible, I laughed but it felt cheap or something. I'll admit I've only seen maybe five or six episodes, but I don't remember thinking it was anything like Seinfeld. From what I saw the humor just seemed to mostly be "awwww no way he DIDN'T just say\do that!!". It didn't really have any of the great subtlety of Seinfeld at all, but maybe that's where the "on crack" part comes from, I don't know. :(

Seinfeld is my all-time favorite TV show and I don't think I've laughed once at Always Sunny. A few of my friends made me watch several episodes about a year ago because they thought I would like it, and I really didn't. At all.

I've seen a few episodes of It's Always Sunny and quite enjoyed them, but it's nothing like Seinfeld at all other than having a cast of selfish characters wrapped up in their own lives.

The thing about Sunny and Seinfeld is that people who hate them seem to hate them for the same reasons but people who love either won't necessarily love the other despite their similarities.

I'd be surprised. "The High School Reunion" was Sunny's version of a callback episode, and it was much more satisfying than the Seinfeld finale.
