The Mary Tyler Moore Show vs. Seinfeld

this one is actually hard!

scott seward, Saturday, 28 August 2010 03:00 (fifteen years ago)

MTM all the way! I feel like Seinfeld is a museum piece now that I appreciate but don't much enjoy. On the rare occasion that I happen across a MTM episode, I spend half an hour just watching with a goofy grin on my face.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 28 August 2010 03:02 (fifteen years ago)

The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Simpsons, M*A*S*H

that's how i went. even though i saw every single episode of mash 400000000 times when i was a kid i don't ever need to see it again as long as i live. radar has to be the creepiest most odious character ever in all of fiction. ever. on t.v. in books. in movies. ever. so repellent. glad he never had another long term job on t.v. again. frank burns pretty much the only redeeming thing on the show. having said that, couldn't vote the cosby show cuz i kinda hate the cos post-1979. even though i saw every single cosby episode and different world episode too. would have voted different world over mash!

scott seward, Saturday, 28 August 2010 03:06 (fifteen years ago)

yeah i voted mary just cuz i figure seinfeld will win. love seinfeld, but probably don't need to watch it for another 20 years. and johnny is right. i could watch mary any day of the week. so great.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 28 August 2010 03:23 (fifteen years ago)

As I indicated on the other thread, I'm being totally dishonest. I watch Seinfeld more, laugh at Seinfeld more, think Seinfeld is smarter, but I'm voting for MTM anyway. Such is the power of nostalgia, of a lifelong crush, of a single image (freeze at 40 seconds):

clemenza, Saturday, 28 August 2010 04:25 (fifteen years ago)

I actually have no doubt MTM is the better show, myself.

Voted The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Office, WKRP in Cincinnati, M*A*S*H

FUCK A SEINFELD

rip flipadelphia, miss u boo

radar has to be the creepiest most odious character ever in all of fiction.... frank burns pretty much the only redeeming thing on the show

Scott, you are my all-time hero, but I will never understand these statements, as long as I live.

Also, despite voting against Seinfeld here, I'm very glad it beat It's Always Sunny In Philly, which for the three or four episodes I managed to sit through ranked with the least funny sitcoms I've seen in recent memory (and as a former Philly resident, I was actually hoping to like it, too).

xhuxk, Saturday, 28 August 2010 09:13 (fifteen years ago)

i just REALLY hate radar. its a thing i got. can't help it.

scott seward, Saturday, 28 August 2010 12:07 (fifteen years ago)

yeah i was hoping i'd like the philly show too. and that they would film it in all my favorite spots. but its pretty bad. and kinda boring for as sitcom.

scott seward, Saturday, 28 August 2010 12:08 (fifteen years ago)

MTM, Office, Simpsons, MASH. Easy.

a mix of music (Lionel Ritchie) and kicks (my tongue) (Phil D.), Saturday, 28 August 2010 12:42 (fifteen years ago)

MTM, Curb, Simpsons, MASH

I've never seen CYE or The Office. CYE sounds slightly more interesting.

rooting for the underdog here; Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Simpsons, M*A*S*H

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Monday, 30 August 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

the actor who played radar always seemed quite a jerk

Chaki doesn't have beef with unicorn (stevie), Monday, 30 August 2010 23:08 (fifteen years ago)

Seinfeld, The Office, The Simpsons, The Cosby Show, btw... MASH vs Cos was the only really tricky one. never really seen much MTM, and while seinfeld is overplayed, its still great - esp the season with the Jerry sitcom.

Chaki doesn't have beef with unicorn (stevie), Monday, 30 August 2010 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

Get thee some MTM on dvd.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 August 2010 09:27 (fifteen years ago)

i should!

Oh c'mon, there's no way MTM is gonna beat Seinfeld here, is there?

Mordy, Tuesday, 31 August 2010 10:50 (fifteen years ago)

Probably not, but it should.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 August 2010 15:54 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Tuesday, 31 August 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

Cosby beats MASH? Larry David beats The Office? smh here

Shock and Awe High School (Phil D.), Tuesday, 31 August 2010 23:02 (fifteen years ago)

The Mary Tyler Moore Show - 19
Seinfeld - 30

Curb Your Enthusiasm - 28
The Office - 21

The Simpsons - 43
WKRP in Cincinnati - 6

The Cosby Show - 21
M*A*S*H - 28

M*A*S*H actually won.

Even though I voted Simpsons, I'm sad to see WKRP go due to the legacy of my own username.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

Ugh--I'm down to rooting for Seinfeld and The Simpsons. I'd even be happier rooting for WKRP, just for Jan Smithers.

clemenza, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 04:39 (fifteen years ago)

Speaking of whom, even though WKRP is now out, I found this Newsweek cover from '66 when doing a search on Smithers last night--had no idea:
