I know im going to get flamed for this, but I think Seinfield sucks
*waits for "trolling" moderation*
I watch the reruns at night all the time. The characters themselves arent drop dead funny, but they're interesting because they have qualities that most of us would get slapped for. (Jerry is shallow when it comes to women, George is obnoxious, etc). The show has situational humor, meaning the characters find themselves in any number of odd locations/events, etc, moreso than the characters being funny.AllicrombieThat is the truth. You can relate to them in terms of the situations they find themselves in sometimes.
Its okay but Curb Your Enthusiasim is much better. Larry David FTW.mattykovax
I love Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I don't think it's better than Seinfeld.
I laughed so hard when I first saw this.
Yes, it is one of the best shows ever in my opinion. Not THE best...but up there. There are NO bad episodes. Theres no point in which the series went downhill and went off the air because of bad press. They stopped in their prime, and thats why itcontinues to beone of the greatest shows ever. I think it'll be on for generations to come.

Not sure about the best, but one of my all-time favorite shows and very deserving of the praise it gets. Strangely Seinfeld was my least favorite character on the show.FatalFantasy206I know a bunch of magazines had it as one of the best earlier this decade and a few had it as the best. It was up there with The Sopranos, The Simpsons, and I Love Lucy. I am watching The Contest episode right now and it still cracks me.
I'm not :( I just have watched like 4 episodes and never really felt like laughing. "HAHAHA SOUP NAZI OMG."Yes. Please do not try to act cool by saying it isnt.

i love every episode except the one where jerry shaves his chest. that one didnt reach par for me. i did like elaines plot with the muffin tops in the episode though
Seinfeild is one of the greatest shows of all time. lol Kramer was in one of my drivers ed videos a couple weeks ago, it was funny. Newman is my favorite characters though.:lol:

Can you give an example? I'm referring to Aaron Sorkin-type stuff; the thing that immediately popped into my head with Seinfeld doing wordplay is stuff like the guy thinking the woman's name is "Mulva" or the "can't double dip the chip" guy, neither of which is funny to me.[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="MarioRPGer"]Wow.

Act cool? Sooo...you are "cool" if you like it, and "uncool" if you don't? OR, you think people who say they don't like it are veiwing themselves as "cool" for saying so? weird.Yes. Please do not try to act cool by saying it isnt.

He's not supposed to be likable.
And yes, Seinfeld and CYE are two of my favorite shows. My favorite CYE is where Larry goes to the incest survivors meeting, hilarious.
It's also one of the only shows with a laughtrack I can stand and the only one I consider myself a fan of. Although I do loathe laughtracks, I don't find they rely on it as much as other shows. There are very few, "que laughter here," moments as opposed to other certain laughtrack shows.
