Seinfeld, Seinfeld, Seinfeld (4/14/98)
After a number of embarrassing displays in the media, family members of the terminally ill NBC sitcom "Seinfeld" announced today that they are requesting Jack Kevorkian come to the set of the series to help it die "with what little dignity it has left".The entertainment media, in its typical morbid fascination with these things, has captured every nuance of the show's twitching, degenerative demise, from the initial diagnosis, through the skyrocketing ad costs, and now, as the final episode shoots its scenes in secret.
Rabid fans of the show are even attempting to bribe crew members to get a copy of the final script, which reportedly features the cast whining, carrying on, and engaging in wacky hijinks due to their chronic inability to ever tell the truth about anything.
The final episode won't air for at least another month, and family members hope a visit from ol' Dr. Jack could end NBC's desperate attempt to turn the driving of the last coffin nail into a global multimedia event.
