I think my favorite Seinfeld moment is when Jerry's girlfriend gives him the "it's me" and after he guesses it's Elaine and she says "no, it's me!" Jerry gets this horrified look on his face and says "George??"

And a bit of a tramp if you ask me.

More importantly, why is Rochelle Rochelle rated PG? Such an erotic journey is simply not appropriate for younger viewers.

Oops. A real Firestorm came out in 1998, but the Firestorm in Seinfeld was 95, so I guess it's not real after all.

Out of nowhere there's this lone dancer who appears to be injured. So you cry, and then you see the dancer, and you cry again.

Was/is Seinfeld very popular in the UK (or other countries, for that matter)? It always seemed like a very American show with humor that might be lost on international audiences, but I'm probably wrong.

it's huge in the soccer subforum and is probably the only American show that any of the UK/Irish in there will give any credit at all. It's a perfect television comedy and you'd have to be a loving idiot not to get it.

HJB: Feb 16, 2011; I can't get enough of are Dan

It fell under the mainstream radar in the UK though, I don't ever recall seeing it being repeated, definitely not on terrestrial TV anyway. Personally I doubt I would have even heard of it if it wasn't for the Internet. I can only assume that TV execs don't think that sort of humour works well over here - Curb has a cult following of sorts but even that they shove on one of the minor digital channels.

Just for reference's sake, the likes of Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends get shown on weekday mornings.

Brinstar Brew: Aug 8, 2007; Who's the guy in the Victorian diving apparatus?

Yeah, I'm an irish Seinfeld fan, but it was shown in really bad, frequently changing timeslots over here. The majority of people I know have probably only seen a couple of episodes they happened to catch.

# ? Apr 20, 2011 19:43

Heavy_D: Feb 16, 2002; "rararararara" contains the meaning of everything, kept in simple rectangular structures

If E4 got Seinfeld to fill that huge Friends shaped hole that's about to appear in their schedules it would be excellent - in the UK I think it would be very popular only it was better known. Certainly it's popular with comedy writers, the Father Ted creators cite it as a major influence.

Manc Hill: Jul 19, 2001; ^^this is u ^^this is me

the only time Seinfeld has been shown on UK terrestrial TV was on BBC2 and it was in a ridiculous timeslot roughly after Newsnight (23:20 onwards). It would constantly get pushed later, often not starting till after midnight, or axed completely from week to week in favour of snooker or darts or open university lectures etc. It's no wonder hardly anyone has ever seen it.

This was when I used to catch it and I never really enjoyed it. Ive just bombed through seasons 1-6 of Curb and loved them, so Im trying to watch Seinfeld now to understand season 7 of Curb better
