Seinfeld should have ended with each of them in separate settings perhaps in a way that tied them all together somehow and a manner that catered to the nature of their characters; perhaps George going off the handle in his George-like way, Kramer causing misplaced awkward distress to someone and being chased away, Elaine getting upset and her feathers ruffled over something trivial, and Jerry suffering someone's idiocy, and then showing the endings of the more important ensemble characters like Newman, et al.

The ending was a charicature of the show itself, and I didn't like that. Also, it was stupid.
The ending wasn't a caricature of the show. It was the show. Funny things happening in the lives of four awful people and absolutely nothing being learned by any of them or them improving in anyway, in the end only even having each other because who else would stick around and be friends with people that messed up? It was a show about nothing. In the end, nothing really changed aside from them going to prison for a year and, presumably, once that year was up they'd get released and go back to their lives still having learned nothing.

Any other ending would have been a disservice to the very spirit of the show as far as I'm concerned. And anyone looking for anything more was either watching the wrong show, or forgot what it was all about to begin with in the last episode. I admire the writers for having the balls to just basically do the same thing and even all but blatantly point out for those who never got it that they were awful human beings. Great way to end in my book. Any other ending would have felt either out of place or not fit with the spirit of the show and only been more disappointing than people found the ending we got.
