I also have a dumb theory that CYE isn't coming back and Larry made the end of season 8 end with him and Leon walking through Paris, unlike when the cast of Seinfeld didn't make it there in the Seinfeld finale.

Now see the two of you need to work on trust... and then and only then will there be a free exchange of sex and discounts... Cornerstones of a healthy relationship.... and now if you would excuse us - We need to get to bed.

What is he doing in the Chunnel? When Ponce looked in that mirror and saw that he hadn't changed, and that tear started to roll down his cheek? ... I lost it. Electromax fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 2, 2013 |

I've been watching all the DVDs again. The commentary tracks are really insightful. I would say like 70% of the stories are stuff that actually happened to the writers or people they knew. Anyway, I am so glad they cut the real George Steinbrenner from the season 7 finale. He just didn't work and nothing he could do could top Larry David's insane ramblings.

Larry actually got Wayne Knight to re-record that line, either for syndication or the DVD release I believe, because he said it felt wrong to have somebody else's voice other than Wayne Knight's associated with Newman.

I have seen multiple Seinfeld billboards recently. I can't imagine seeing billboards for any other 15-year-old (15 years since the finale, I mean) tv show.

Oh yes they did, Demon Of The Fall, they were all over me. It was like Rocky 1. Diane came up to me, threw her arms around me, and kissed me. We both had tears streaming down our faces. I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment I decided to tell her I was not a marine biologist!

I picked up all the Seinfeld seasons as a sale box set, thinking that it was a series that I'd heard good things about, but never got around to watching. Chief culprit being the BBC only showing it at 11:00 at night back when I was a kid. Also, this mash-up made me keen to figure out what kind of show could have all these scenes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z14_-En-JTk I'd definitely go to see a 'Jerry the Great' movie. Just finished watching it, and reading through most of this thread. Wow. I can really see what all the fuss was about - just seeing it now makes you realise just how influential it was. Friends is like the turkey bird descended from the Seinfeld dinosaur, and all the great shows I love now have obvious Seinfeld heritage. I quite liked the early ones, and felt it went a bit off when Kramer started getting massive audience whoops of recognition - as though he was the funny man to everyone else's straight-man. He's a hell of a comic actor, but I preferred the everyday humiliations of George and the petty cruelties of Jerry and Elaine. It soon seemed to level out though. My other half, about halfway through the third season, suddenly had the epiphany 'Wow, they're all assholes!' - which is one of the reasons that I enjoy it so much. It's still refreshing to feel the 'No hugging, no learning' adage come through, and see them be such dicks to each other and everyone else. Newman seemed to improve more every episode - I loved the Postal Investigator interrogation 'Isn't it true that items rarely get damaged in the mail.' 'Define rarely' *sweating* 'Frequently' To say nothing of how influential this show was about getting phrases into the language - I'm hearing people who've never seen the show repeating odd lines from it that have somehow worked their way into everyday speech - Festivus, Double dipping, Serenity now. Anyway, I know that's a lot of  and you guys know how good a show it is, but just to show you there are new fans everyday - even a decade late.

I've never liked that 'Now for the wacky character to say his catch-phrase' thing you seem to get in the worse US sitcoms Also, Seinfeld seemed to me to be the epitome of an ensemble piece, and without a word of wasted dialogue, so it made no sense to suggest 'He's the funny one.'

Chief culprit being the BBC only showing it at 11:00 at night back when I was a kid. Always great to hear opinions of "new" fans. Another Brit in the TV Couch Chat thread was wondering if he should watch this show because it might seem dated- so it's good to know even today it's still funny. Two things now... 1. After Seinfeld, each of the main cast (except Jerry), tried and failed to have a comedy show where they were the central character. It wasn't until Larry David - co-creator of Seinfeld- had a show based off of him. Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's a pretty big success here, and HBO gives him carte blanche in running it where he can decide when to make each season. A new episode hasn't been on in two years but it should be filming soon. You got 8 solid seasons and it shows he was more or less the real brains behind Seinfeld. Don't expect "Seinfeld", but expect mundane life/situational type humour. If nothing else and you're not feeling it- just watch Season 7. You owe it to yourself. 2. "Wow, they're all assholes!' I highly recommend It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Many shows after Seinfeld ended- and during it's run, tried to copy it's premise more or less, but weren't able to do it. Sunny did it though. It just finished it's eight season, and all are really good, although personally the show doesn't start to get really good until about 7 episodes in. So there, now you have two more great comedies to watch.

I don't find Always Sunny funny at all. It feels like Seinfeld without any of the clever jokes. The characters are assholes but I don't find them funny. I've never really understood the hype around that show. Curb is legit fuckin hilarious though. If you want more Seinfeld, that's the closest you're gonna get.
