The first conversation in the first Seinfeld episode, "Good News, Bad News," was about a button. It took place between George Costanza and Jerry Seinfeld. In the series' final episode, "The Finale," the last conversation George and Jerry had was also about a button. Such a lowly topic on which to begin and end Seinfeld seems appropriate since it was known as "a show about nothing." The original script was called "Stand Up" and was to be a 90-minute mockumentary about how a stand-up comedian writes his jokes based on his everyday life. It was to air it in place of Saturday Night Live for one night. NBC liked the script so much, however, they decided to develop it into a pilot instead. Seinfeld was one of only three series in American history to rank number one in the ratings for its entire final network season. The others were I Love Lucy (1951) and The Andy Griffith Show (1960). In 2002, TV Guide editors voted Seinfeld the top television series of all time. Seinfeld © 2021 NBCUniversal Media, LLC
