Listen, I don't want to poo on everyone's favorite show, and I recognize that there are moments of genius and it was a cultural institution. But I do wanna say that if you don't like or get this show, you're not stupid/lame! It's a really silly show and it's just not funny to some people. They're constantly shrieking and they're terrible people and it's like....eyeroll. Sorry.

This show could have been funny this show could have been groundbreaking this show could have been the icon that all future comedy is held up tobut it failed and why did it fail?terrible, horrendous castingthe kramer character and the elaine character are slimy and unlikeable, tearing down each scene to some unbearable torment straight from new york city hellin real life, kramer would have no friendsin real life, no one would even talk to elaine

I started really watching episodes of this because they come on in re-runs on nearly every channel in the USA at night, or used to. It was never something that I would have been excited about on a weekly basis. It is one of those shows you leave on in the background while making food, and get a couple of chuckles from. Characters like George or Kramer really carried the whole thing for me, or even Elaine's boss. Jerry, as a main character or comedian, is very lame. Elaine was OK, but reminded me of so many other shallow women in real life. Many people don't get the NY city style antics that go on, because we don't live in that setting. Larry David makes some funny stuff, but is it really all they say it is? Ummm...I'm not really sold. Curb your enthusiasm and Seinfeld are somewhat funny, but I think their ratings as the greatest shows ever are really absurd. I've seen way funnier shows with better casts and ideas, done much better. I guess for the time, Seinfeld was a real icon, but again, it really is over-hyped. I mean, I like grapes, but I wouldn't proclaim them as the best thing to ever happen to humanity! It all really depends on who you are and who you know in Hollywood and media, to decide what kind of reception and light you are cast in. Much of the commotion is just silly nonsense in an echo chamber.

Okay, Seinfeld obviously has a plot, but it's about nothing. Nothing specific: just what happens in the lives of Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Cosmo Kramer. It's a sitcom; and the best one there is, from America. The only sitcom comparable to Seinfeld, for me, is Fawlty Towers. Friends is close, but for me Seinfeld is incomparably better. The casting, the writing and hell, even the theme song of Seinfeld is better for me. Everything about this classic show is so well done.What is there to say about Seinfeld that hasn't already been said? It turns the most stagnant routine in some episodes and still makes it comic genius; and seamlessly easy-to-watch-and-enjoy television. It's the 90s in a nutshell. Standup, video tapes, bass theme songs, and everyday absurdity that doesn't need to get overly mature to tell its stories.Seinfeld: a show about nothing; that has everything!
