      People find it hard to believe, but I've only ever watched a handful of episodes of Seinfeld, and those were never on the nights they aired originally.

      Was never a fan and usually sit there dumbfounded when someone will quote a scene. I'd say that up against the likes of M.A.S.H., definitely loser.

      Let me know when Marc Peyser writes and develops a show that

      is better than Seinfeld....

          Not a patch on "Frasier".

          Loser... I don't get how people were so obsessed with it. Worse was the people who would talk like the stars of the show day in and day out.. Just wanted to drop kick those types every friggin time i heard it.

            Peyser's overly erudite analysis of comedy is like a moth flying from my dad's wallet. His writing is like some artifact from the Museum of Natural History.

            It's like writing about swimming. At some point you need to get wet.

            The show was and is a legend.

              As long as there are people who forget where they parked their car, are worrying about going bald, picky about who they want to marry, get stuck in lines, are narcistic to the core, I think this show will have appeal. Of course, ever since the Kramer blow up, IF I ever see a rerun and SEE him, I can't help but think of that guy's self-destruction. That was just so embarrassing.

              "Seinfeld" was all about being self-absorbed and self-indulgent. Jerry taught a whole generation of young Americans that it's perfectly all right not to give a damn about anyone but yourself.

              The joke was that the show was about "nothing" but in fact it was about everything. Almost every day I have some kind of experience that relates to an episode of Seinfeld.

                Some of the shows were funny....some not. The "Jerry" character was the least funny....George was irritating most of the time.

                  I never watched much Seinfeld. I'm not a big sitcom watcher, I admit. I like Scrubs and M*A*S*H and that's about it anymore. My main thing that I watch is the History Channel and National Geographic. Discovery has its moments and Comedy Central as well, along with Sci Fi to.
