Bad year for libraries. Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public Library fella.

That whole scene was one of the best, if not the actual best, scene in an American comedy TV show of a guy playing something so perfectly straight.

I remember when the librarian was a much older woman. Kindly, discreet, unattractive. We didn't know anything about her private life. We didn't want to know anything about her private life.

I was visiting some British friends and we were talking about TV shows. Seinfeld came up and my mate who is twenty had never heard of it. I was amazed. I knew it wasn't overly popular there, but really?

So I asked his dad about it, and he also hadn't heard of it. Didn't ring a bell. I even showed him a picture of Jerry Seinfeld from the era and he didn't recognise him.

To me, that was like someone not knowing who The Beatles are. I really couldn't believe it. Does Seinfeld have that little penetration over there?

It seems like most of the time, sitcoms in the US aren't just aired in their original forms in foreign countries. They remake them for each country because apparently there is a lot of tweaking to be done so that the references/storylines/etc actually make sense wherever the show is airing.
