I'd go ahead and say that from its beginning until whenever Elaine started wearing her hair down, "Not a good look for _____" could be applicable for anybody on the show. Seinfeld's humor and characters still hold up, but not that early 90's wardrobe.

Well the real problem is that the shirt is untucked. But yeah in general (besides Kramer, who stayed pretty consistent) they wore some wacky things at first. Lots of crazy colors and patterns and fabrics. But hey, the late 80's/early 90's.

My wife had "Happy Endings" on, and holy loving poo poo, everyone is SO quick and HIGH-larious! Not to mention most jokes boil down to some variation of "your mom" or "that's what SHE said". The characters must be gasping for breath when they cut. It's so loving unwatchable.
But Happy Endings is a great show. :(

However, you are right in your assessment. Seinfeld was one one the last sitcoms that employed the slow burn approach. Everybody Loves Raymond also used it to great success. The Middle is trying it's best to fill those same shoes. I know it's not a goon favorite but shows like The Middle using slowly moving comedic plot devices is still around. It's just not what the kids are interested in right now (and by kids I mean the target demographic that advertisers drool over for.)

I love that throughout the series, I don't think anyone actually likes Jerry's comedy that he meets in real life. They always reference his act with disdain.

I especially love when George or Elaine will go "Is that part of your act?" :rolleyes:

Anyone have a gif of Jerry at the car reservation desk saying "anybody can just take 'em" and doing his handwaving thing? It's from The Alternate Side, S3 e...11?

Pathetic George is my favorite George, right next to Bawdy George.

"I don't want hope. Hope is killing me. My dream is to become hopeless. When you're hopeless you don't care. And when you don't care, that indifference makes you attractive."
"So, hopelessness is the key?"
"It's my only hope."

The commentary or youtube or something ruined The Parking Garage for me. Now that they said most of the thing is Mirrors in the background to make it look bigger, I cant help but notice the peoples reflections the whole episode.

The other day I noticed they also used the mirror trick for the restaurant in the one where George gets caught looking at Russel's daughters cleavage.
