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.

Great, but I am physically unable to deal with laughing tracks.

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.

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!

Pickpocket | 10 98th |

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.

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.

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.

"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

Ocelot | 85 94th |

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.

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

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.

I'm trying to figure out which episode I'm thinking of. Somebody goes on a date. ...Anyone remember? (George > George's three friends)
