Very overrated
not even close. seinfeld is a 10/10 sitcom and the standard.martin is way funnier![]()
Season 7 and 8 are amazing - watching them as a 30+ year old hits differentSeasons 1-5 are GOAT.
Once they switched directors, the show had a noticeable dropoff.
Check what i said above lolAll I can say was, time and place are very important. I started watching Seinfeld as a teen and it was funny. I got to my 20s, hilarious. I am not in my mid 30s and its aged even better. WAY more of the jokes hit and having lived some life, it makes sense. I don't expect it to suddenly get better going forward as the cast was basically all 30-somethings living life in NY, but it is the GOAT. You can say a random ass phrase like "Shes foaming at the mouth!" and im rolling. There is no show like it.
KING OF QUEENS?Threadstarter has King of Queens over Seinfeld....thread should have been bushed.
Yup, it absolutely has gotten funnier over time and the references make sense since I lived it. It would be impossible to explain to someone who hits 30 10-15 years from now why Seinfeld was a cultural phenomenon, but for those who know, its an incredible show. And I see you said Martin was a 7 overall...I say thats absolutely fair. In a vacuum, I understand Martin's themes more closely due to being a young black man coming up in the world with your day-1s. But as a pure comedic look at life, Seinfeld is genius. I randomly popped on "The Pez Dispenser" yesterday and was busting up not just at what I was seeing, but what comes next. I must have rewound the piano scene a dozen times.Check what i said above lol
The show was always my favourite but at this point man…its perfection
Im watching the episode where George abstains from sex and becomes a genius - Elaine abstains and becomes dumbYup, it absolutely has gotten funnier over time and the references make sense since I lived it.
