Bill O'Reilly isn't just targeting talk radio lately. The man is on some sort of brilliant tear about the nature of sitcom finales as well, which Jeff Bercovici found out by actually reading one of O'Reilly's books so we didn't have to. The book of essays, entitled A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, deals not only with the current electoral climate, but such hard hitting and culturally relevant issues like why Larry David chose such a cop-out ending for Seinfeld:

After nine years of clever writing and brilliant comedic acting, Seinfeld's closing act rivaled Petticoat Junction in witty payoff, so what the heck happened?

"Since I'm pretty sure I understand the deep cynicism of head writer Larry David and also the middling cynicism of Jerry Seinfeld, I think these guys tanked the final episode on purpose.

Using Johnny Carson's brilliant last program as a model, all the Seinfeld people had to do was assemble the cast for a one-hour "best moments" special. Just let the characters kick it around, telling viewers what mattered to them and why, and then roll in the clips. Give the folks some inside-baseball as to how the show came together each week and then wrap it up with some bloopers.

Huh, we actually agree with O'Reilly on this one. Seinfeld's finale sucked donkey balls, but the episode before the finale did enforce the best moments/flashback rule. This is awesome: By this time next week, Olbermann and O'Reilly will perform some sort of ritual network meld and become one.
