George Costanza is miles ahead of the next funniest character in tv history. Overall, the show is not only hilarious, but it also serves as the cultural point of reference for countless recurring social situations. It's also hard to see this show now and realize how truly unique it was in its time for completely avoiding any emotional connection or likeability of the characters.

Better writing and acting than 99% of sitcoms. But it should also be noted that it led indirectly to one of the most excruciating and yet fabulous moments in the history of philosophy, when the Australian arts journalist Andrea Stretton interviewed the French philosopher Jacques Derrida (both now deceased) and chose to ask him about the relationship between this program and his notion of deconstruction.

There was a period of time in my adolescent life that consisted of getting Little Caesar's pizza with my friends and watching seasons of Seinfeld we'd all seen dozens of times. I regret nothing.

Seems to function on obsessive-compulsive level. Keeps revolving around a non-existent social faux pas to generate a likewise repetitive cycle of neurotic responses. It never actually presents a resolution to the neurosis.

I've been holding off on re-watching all 9 seasons, to see if they still hold up, but during the 90's...this was THE show. From "No Soup For You" to "These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty", no show in the history of tv had as many quotable lines as witnessed here. When every single kid in school is rolling off lines from the show for the better part of a decade, you know you had a monster hit. Looking back, I'd be hard pressed to find a show that represented the 90's this well. Groundbreaking!

I had only ever seen scattered reruns until 2015 when they finally uploaded the whole series to streaming on Hulu. So I'm not really part of the show's hardcore cult. But, that said, it was a great watch, hysterically funny at points. George Costanza is definitely a classic sitcom character.

It's hard not to see this as one of the 20th Century's great existential and deconstructionalist texts: late Wittgenstein and Derrida and Kierkegaard would end up in fits at "The Parking Lot", which leaves me both in hysterics and deep, deep contemplation. The Real World distanced from Reality Television; a Show about Nothing is, actually, about Everything. Narcissism is a realization about the true relationship of Self with the World. George is the embodiment of all evil.

It took me a while to come round to Seinfeld, which wasn't helped by the conundrum of getting someone to explain what's so brilliant about a show about nothing. But I came round and believe I found that something that everyone else saw in nothing.

The real star here is George Constanza - something rectified in Curb by wholly focusing on his real life counterpart, that sick bald fuck Larry David.

The greatest sitcom of all time and it's not even close. The first season is admittedly not as great as the next 8 but once you get past that it really picks up its stride and never loses the charm that makes it so great, even after Larry David leaves for season 8 and 9. If you don't like this show I seriously could not be friends with you, it means that much to me. And any real fan knows that George was the real best character, sorry Kramer you're number 2.

The fourth season may be the greatest season in the history of television. Despite that, the show eventually becomes a victim of its own success, generating non-existent social faux pas which become retroactively real due to the ubiquity of the show. The last two seasons, in particular, become the kind of show the early seasons openly mocked, and the finale is one of the most misguided conclusions this side of Lost. But it has three of the greatest comic actors ever on TV, and Jerry Seinfeld.

"No hugging, no learning". This adage kept this show refreshing and often lent plenty of darkness, and this lack of sentimentality made this all the more funnier (and made it fun to identify with these terrible human beings). Seinfeld himself works fine, but with the trio (all four of them getting rather equal screen-time) they bring out the worst in each other, and the results are often hilarious to watch. Last few episodes kinda sucked, though

Arguably the greatest comedy of all-time. Between this and Curb, Larry David can stake a strong claim to being the funniest man of all-time.

I used to really love this but as I've gotten older, I've started enjoying miserable, grumpy humour less and less. When I was a kid Seinfeld was shocking and amazing because there were so many "very special episode" formulaic sitcoms. Seinfeld ended up being so influential that it now seems formulaic.

The reckless lack of story lines was refreshing and chaotic and for that it deserves its proper place in TV history, however, the laugh track has aged it horribly, and I doubt younger viewers will even give it a chance.

It doesn't even make sense to rate a show as important as this. I mean, you can't even imagine the culture without it. I'm really not part of the hardcore fanbase, and I would understand if someone coming to it fresh would not understand what made it so seminal and revolutionary, but it's bigger than all of us, bigger than you, bigger than me, much bigger.

Watched up to S01E05 - dropped. Can't get into it. I love George, but the rest not so much. Jerry and Elaine are too annoying, Kramer too grotesque.

It took me a long to come around into Seinfeld and I think it takes a few episodes to (for want of a better term) "get it". Watching an episode here and there in isolation won't work. Constanza is a work of comedy genius.

The best of the classic sitcoms, and the product of many fortuitous elements, not least Jason Alexander's acting genius. w/r/t the finale: while its instinct, perhaps admirably, was to comment on the moral bankruptcy of the protagonists' nihilism, its execution was pretty lacking.

Try as I might, I just can't like this show. The comedy doesn't work for me. It's more tired than funny. Saved from a 0 by the Soup Nazi, the one part of this show that managed to get a genuine laugh out of me.

This never did it for me. I felt it was unfunny, boring and I didn't care about the characters. I watched a few episodes fairly recently and I appreciate it a little more now but I still don't enjoy it. I realize I'm in a minority here.

This show is ok. A show about nothing when I watched 1 episode of this. I remember my friend really loving this show. I was like why do you like this show. He was like it's funny this and that. I was like it's show about nothing. I guess when you are a kid you don't know these things as he freaked out and said aww man I didn't know. I was like you watched like a whole 2 seasons of it at the time how do you not know? I told him I watched like 10 min of it.

One of the most consistently funny sitcoms of all time. The star power is off the charts and everyone involved shows up and gives it their all. But most of the points go to Jason Alexander. I could make a strong case that George Costanza is not just the greatest sitcom character of all time but among the best characters in all of television history. All that for a show about nothing.

☆ The show about nothing always manages to get a giggle out of me. I personally like to subscribe to the theory that all the characters are actually psychopaths. Seinfeld and David are a duo that should never be separated when it comes to directing! ☆

Keeps a pretty consistent standard in my opinion. Although the last few episodes are lacking, many shows drag themselves out for a season or more, so I can forgive that. I found the best characters to be in supporting roles (bar Kramer of course) such as Peterman and Kruger. It is, at this point, perhaps a little dated.

One of the best shows of all time. Slightly repetitive, but that's due to the genre and quantity of episodes.

Seinfeld never really appealed to me; this is a point of contention between me and my wife. The stand-up bit was innovative (in the last seasons they stopped doing it, which made the series worse) and Richards has some great physical comedy sequences. But overall, I hated the characters, they are mean, petty people and the forced absurdity is not in line with my sense of humor. Louis-Dreyfus is the weak link in the series, yet she had the best career afterward, you can never guess these things.
