About This Quiz

The TV show Seinfeld, based on the stand-up comedy of Jerry Seinfeld, is one of the most popular shows of all time. The show aired for nine seasons between 1989 and its final episode, which aired on May 14, 1998. There is never an easy way to end a show as popular as Seinfeld, and the final episode surely rankled hardcore fans. Many call it simply a quintessential Seinfeld episode with all the attributes that made the show great. Subtle references to the show's quirkiness were sprinkled throughout the episode, but they can be easily forgotten. The cameos of memorable characters from past episodes, however, were definite highlights.

The show revolves around the lives of its four main characters: Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. All nine seasons feature magnifications of each characters quirks, weaknesses and neurotic shortcomings. As with the fictional show that Jerry and George tried pitching to NBC, the show about nothing, Seinfeld often pokes fun of everyday trivial nuances of life. Fans of the show will no doubt reference characters and incidents from Seinfeld for years to come. Let's see if you are the master of your domain. Show us how much your remember about the final episode of Seinfeld!
