- TriviaThe credit song for Season 1, Episode 1 was Dave Edmunds' cover of Elvis Costello's Girls Talk. For the series finale, the closing credits song is Tegan And Sara's cover of the same song.
- GoofsThe opening chryon says "San Francisco 1965", but when Suzy tells Lenny Bruce that she can get him booked for club dates, he responds, "There are no more club dates. This, tonight was a fluke. They thought they booked Bruce Lee." The earliest anyone in the United States would have heard of Bruce Lee would have been September 1966, after Lee's debut as Kato in ABC's "The Green Hornet" (one month after Lenny Bruce died).
- Quotes
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel: I want a big life. I want to experience everything. I want to break every single rule there is. They say ambition is an unattractive trait in a woman. Maybe. But you know what's really unattractive? Waiting around for something to happen. Staring out a window, thinking the life you should be living is out there somewhere but not being willing to open the door and go get it. Even if someone tells you you can't. Being a coward is only cute in The Wizard of Oz.

Featured review
Considered rating this 10/10; it's more than a 9
The co-creator and co-executive producer (with her husband, Daniel) of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," is the marvelous Amy Sherman-Palladino. She decided that the final episode of this brilliant series (the 43rd over five seasons) deserved to be extra special. And that it is. She both wrote it and directed it. It's extra-long, at 76 minutes. And it's extra, extra good. Extra dramatic and extra comedic. Extra interactions with almost all the significant characters from the series, including Luke Kirby as Lenny Bruce; Michael Zegen as Miriam's ex-husband, Joel; Caroline Aaron and Kevin Pollack as her in-laws; and the wonderful Tony Shalhoub as her pop, Abe Weissman. And finally we come to the title character, "Midge" Maisel, as portrayed with indelible charm and verve by Rachel Brosnahan. It is not possible to credit her and co-star Alex Borstein (playing Susie Myerson) enough: one or both of them is/are in every shot/scene/story, and you're both mesmerized by and worried for them, individually and collectively. And the leap forward by 40-45 years in the final scene is both moving and hysterically funny-simultaneously.
