It was enormous. My friend owns a Limo company that had the contract to transport them all around. About 5k people packed downtown going crazy.

Packed into a half mile radius in a small downtown?

That's a lot of people. Actually, I just read it was around 10k.

The guy who played Merideth's stripper son was the same actor who played her son in 'Take Your Daughter to Work Day' back in season 2.

The stripper at Dwight's bachelor party was the stripper in the warehouse, IIRC.

The chick showing Pam and Jim's house was Carol, who Michael dated, and Steve Carell married IRL.

The guy it appeared Pam was trying to shoo off the stage during the 'picture under the mural' scene, where she something like 'I thought just people who worked in the office. . . ' was show-runner Greg Daniels.

If people actually regularly watched, i doubt they missed any of these except maybe the greg daniels part. The stripper was also in the episode where they did the fun run for the cure of rabbies. She dressed like a nurse and took a big check for science.

I think this might've been my favorite line of the show.

Yep, great line.

On par with the one last "that's what she said" for old time's sake. :)

It was a good ending. Better than most.

Some endings are not the best.
MASH-ok to a point-and I am a huge MASH fan
Seinfeld- ick.

I thought that was THE best.

My son is about to graduate high school, and I think he about teared up when he saw that.

I don't really get hooked into many series, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought they did a really good job of wrapping it up. They did a great job of using the documentary angle in that regard, by using the Q/A session and the last several minutes to reflect on the documentary. Those last several minutes were perfect reflections of each character in a way which they could also express their feelings about the show and even their lives... like Jenna Fischer, being an unknown actress prior to the show, flashing back to walking over the hot coals and talking about taking chances, etc. And Andy's quote that DaFace posted was great, too.

The only minor thing was that I really liked Robert California, and it would have been cool to see him again.

After that line, I said aloud to the tv "You mean Season 3?"

That was a emotional ending. Although Ryan and Kelly wasn't needed at all. I would have rather seen them grow up and be happy with who they were truly supposed to be with. Having Ryan essentially poison his little infant and then abandon him was ridiculous. Wouldn't that be attempted murder? Oh and Abandonment is a crime as well. HE deserved to be arrested at the end not Creed. I didn't mind Nelly taking him to Europe with her though, she got what she wanted. Was that her child or grandchild irl or something? All in all LOVED the finale.

Seinfeld's finale wasn't a finale, it was an episode about nothing. True to its core. If you look at it that way it was a finale because in prison you do absolutely nothing. There was no way anymore episodes could be made. Man, here I thought it was bad when it was brilliant. I'll pat myself on the back for finally realizing this. :clap::thumb::hail: Good job Wes!

"Oh, Elizabeth. It's great you went back and got your degree."

LOL so good.

The finale was incredibly on point. It had almost everything I wanted to see wrap up and more. As an AVID Office nerd (probably bordering on weird, really), I think it all ended very, very well. The cast fought for a "farewell" season and extended episodes at the end for a reason, and it really showed. Some points I'll make:

- Michael Scott's role in the finale couldn't have been better, given the circumstances of Steve's (probable) reluctance to do much.

- The emotional attachment the cast had for this show was incredibly apparent and downright inspiring. When Greg Daniels talked about how they could never assemble that group of people again, I think he was on the money. It's unfortunate that folks aren't willing to invest in their craft enough to even make the small things believable. Kudos to all of them for that.

- People generally don't like the seasons after Season 3, but I love them all. Season 8 was a little meh, but not because of the absence of Michael Scott - I think the writing was pretty damn subpar as a whole. Just me, though.

- I was ok with Robert California being left out. I did, however, wish I could have seen Jan, Holly, and Gabe for at least a small appearance. That's pretty nitpicky, though.

I agree completely. Most finales are a huge disappointment IMO, but this one hit a homerun.
