So I'm a serious TV-watcher for the most part.<BR/><BR/>But <I>Seinfeld</I> wasn't "what passes for comedy these days," as you put it. Most of today's sit-coms are horrible. A lot of shows people enjoyed in the old days were awful, at least to 21st-century me. But <I>Seinfeld</I> was a phenomenon that captured humanity (a bad side of it but hilarious) in a way few things - not just TV shows - ever have. Without it, there was no such thing as Must-See TV. <I>Seinfeld</I> was it.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629158473415918017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1141151920886681972006-02-28T12:38:00.000-06:002006-02-28T12:38:00.000-06:00Rich,I watch t.v.

(cable doesn't come to the middle of nowhere where we live.) I like Crossing Jordan, too.<BR/><BR/>I guess I like the more serious style stuff better than I like what passes for comedy, today. I miss the Carol Burnett Show!!!<BR/><BR/>WandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1141144609992936132006-02-28T10:36:00.000-06:002006-02-28T10:36:00.000-06:00Oh, and despite what Ken said, Seinfeld never jump...Oh, and despite what Ken said, <I>Seinfeld</I> never jumped the shark.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629158473415918017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1141144544916179502006-02-28T10:35:00.000-06:002006-02-28T10:35:00.000-06:00WAAAAAAAAAAAANDAAAAAAAAAA???!!!You've never watche...<I>WAAAAAAAAAAAANDAAAAAAAAAA???!!!</I><BR/><BR/>You've never watched a whole episode of <I>Seinfeld</I>???<BR/><BR/>You waaaaaaaay need to stop doing productive stuff and sit down on the couch, be a bum for a while, and watch some of the synicated shows. I'm sure if you have cable, you can find them on any time of day, seven days a week (sorta like Law & Order in that way, y'know?). But if you missed out on Seinfeld, you missed out on a ton.<BR/><BR/>Watch a couple shows, and we'll talk next Critique Group meeting.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629158473415918017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1141143269524626112006-02-28T10:14:00.000-06:002006-02-28T10:14:00.000-06:00I have to tell you-- I've never watched a whole ep...I have to tell you-- I've never watched a whole episode of Seinfeld. <BR/><BR/>Are you shocked?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I did see the little bit about the soup nazi and thought it was funny.<BR/><BR/>There, that's my .02 worth.<BR/><BR/>WandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1141002527459932422006-02-26T19:08:00.000-06:002006-02-26T19:08:00.000-06:00Here's my top 10:10- The Caddy: George is at work ...Here's my top 10:<BR/><BR/>10- <I>The Caddy</I>: George is at work when we leave at night and at work when we arrive in the morning.<BR/><BR/>9- <I>The PEZ Dispenser</I>: Elaine's inappropriate laughter and the intervention<BR/><BR/>8- <I>The Race</I>: I choose not to run<BR/><BR/>7- <I>The Airport</I>: 1st class vs. coach<BR/><BR/>6- <I>The Parking Garage</I>: I gotta go<BR/><BR/>5- <I>The Kiss Hello</I>: the kisses, the physical therapist, and the far drop-off<BR/><BR/>4- <I>The Pledge Drive</I>: Cutting your Snickers, the finger, and Grandma's checks<BR/><BR/>3- <I>The Apology</I>: Good naked/Bad naked, and the shower disposal<BR/><BR/>2- <I>The Boyfriend</I>: The Second Spitter<BR/><BR/>1- <I>The Pitch</I>: It's a Show about NothingDiabolical Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054611487880242577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1140896254829611702006-02-25T13:37:00.000-06:002006-02-25T13:37:00.000-06:00Rich,I don't know the episodes, but my favorites w...Rich,<BR/><BR/>I don't know the episodes, but my favorites were:<BR/><BR/>1) The 'Man'-zere<BR/>2) Kramer and the 'Turkey Baster'.<BR/>3) The Soup Nazi<BR/>4) Elaine's boyfriend telling her that she is 'going to hell'.<BR/>5) The Elanaine 'Pseudo-dance'<BR/>6) The Yada-Yada episode<BR/>7) Kramer's 'automated' movie phone<BR/>8) Kramer posing as an employee and moving up the corporate ladder.<BR/>9) The Chinese Resaurant<BR/>10) The Junior Mint<BR/><BR/>Special mention needs to go to the episode where Elaine is subjected to watching the The English Patient multiple times. My wife and I saw it on our Honeymoon and rated it as one of the worst movies of all time. We get a chuckle out of Elaine's comments.<BR/><BR/>-DougDougALughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335959723414264767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19549393.post-1140885207508457282006-02-25T10:33:00.000-06:002006-02-25T10:33:00.000-06:00I think he did jump the shark.
