Oh, I get it. You are a fanboy who had no intention of having a rational conversation.

I don't get his appeal at all. Never have. I mean there have been worse shows, but not many. He is just miserable, and unfunny, and his observations are painful! Jason and Julia are the best things about the show, as actors, but of the episodes I've seen, while that is true. The writing,and some of the things they had to act out were embarrassing to watch
Larry David or Jerry Seinfeld, doesn't matter who wrote it. They are both pretty terrible. But they were at the right place at the time, so good on them. As far as privilleged white people sitcoms, of that time, Frasier was much better, in every way. IMO, Seinfeld was like Friends level bad. -

Great post, biots. "Frasier" is better than "Seinfeld," in part because it isn't afraid to make to make fun of its title character. Every "Seinfeld" episode, on the other hand, seems to be about Jerry's discomfort around people who are less fortuntate than him (which, let's face it, is everybody.) He strikes me as the kind of guy who gets waiters fired for not sufficiently sucking up to him. Since I can't relate to his world, or his view of it, a lot of Seinfeld's comedy just doesn't connect with me.
And "Friends" is horrible, too, much too cutesy in spite of a promising first season.
