One feels compelled to note the outstanding solo careers of all the principal actors after leaving this show. Bee Movie, anyone?

hayy burt i was thinking slash hoping maybe you could talk about how claxxxic nyc shows like seinfeld have influenced today's metro area hipter youth and what girls who wear mid-90s blazers to shows are like. other topics for your consideration: how much realer seinfeld is than friends, anti-semitism in america
i think this show is classic btw

Almost every britisher I know who has seen this show loves it. The problem is a lot of them haven't seen it. It was shunted around the schedules, usually late on BBC2. If it had a C4 8pm friday slot (or something) we wouldn't even be having this debate.

seinfeld at its peak: classic
last two seasons: terrible

I prefer Curb Your Enthusiasm because it has cursing and no annoying laughtrack. Man I fucking hate laughtrack. But Seinfeld was pretty damn classic, yes.
Last two seasons were terrible. Larry David picking up the prostitute just so he can drive in the carpool lane was funnier than every episode of the last two seasons of Seinfeld put together.

wasn't seinfeld taped in front of an actual audience, hence actual laughter (as opposed to a 'laugh track', '60s sitcom style)?
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Sunday, 1 February 2009 05:03 (fifteen years ago) link
That's weird, I just had a conversation earlier tonight about whether or not Seinfeld was taped in front of an audience.

also kind of weird, I watched an episode of Family Guy on Saturday night where Patrick Stewart mentions the McDLT and it was the first time I'd ever heard of it. Now this is the second time I ever heard of it. The idea is quite puzzling to me. I've never had a big mac and thought, "shit, I wish the vegetables on this were cooler". I've thought "shit I wish the meat on this was more edible" but that's about it.

We didn't have them in Britain and even if we did I'm too young. Not trying to set McDonalds to rights retroactively from 20 years in the future. Just found it a bit quizzical is all.

Seinfeld is kind of Cheers in a diner (and an apartment) so yeah not as much drinking. i'm sure if they actually followed Jerry's life as a comedian outside of occasional stand-up segments more than a handful of times that wouldn't have been the case.
