See. Right now everybody is focused on getting that quick "fast food" money in the entertainment business. It's about "first week" this, "number 1" this. People wanna appeal to consumers immediate and fleeting senses hoping they'll throw an easy buck at it before it goes away.

Just make a quality product. Give folks something that people are gonna wanna buy in 20 years and you just might be alright and have a legacy to boot.

Did black people actually find this show funny :dahell:

Its fukking hilarious. :russ:

Its not a one man driven, in your face funny show like Martin but once you start watching it, the situations they go through seem to pop up randomly in real life. No one does that better than :ld:.

Yes, it was a very funny show. The kind of funny where its funny and then in your head you're like "that was funny" instead of :laff: in real life. Its a different kind of funny.

it also gets funnier the older you get for some reason too.

I didn't understand a lot of the jokes when I was younger but now I watch it like :ohhh:

The writing and chemistry between the cast are great. Too bad we don't have a Jerry smilie but this will do :ld:

i just have no clue how money works. I'm assuming NBC would turn a huge profit from advertising and shyt? But to give Jerry $110 mil? how the fukk much money is there in advertising? sindication? why would one more season increase the money so much? I just have no grasp on how shyt works. there is so much god damn money in the world and i aint got none of it

they deserved every penny too. its amazing the kinda writing they did in the 90s on a network tv, no one will touch comedy being done that way, with a mass audience and give a goat real new yorker tribute like that ever. they basically brought jewish stream of consciousness ny standup comedy into sitcom form
