I’m on Season Two right now. I think it’s Tubi. Same deal with commercials.
I dig the tunes and random hot chicks.

I’ll have to rewatch a few episodes and see how it aged. It was basically like a softer version of the great 80’s Vietnam flicks like Platoon, Hamburger Hill, etc.

Candice Bergen was a smoke show!

The producers could relaunch Seinfeld since the episodes predate the prevalence of smart phones and the internet.

A lot of the scenarios could be updated and new ones added.

For example, George's "Timeless Art of Seduction" would be the internet meme instead of a inside joke between the friends, the local post office staff, and the staff at the photo developing shop.

The last good cable series was Tour of Duty from the late 80’s

That was the one that had a very young and hot Kim Delaney, one of my all-time celebrity crushes at the time.

Also portrayed African Americans as buffoons.

Basically “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is the updated version of Seinfeld.

The humor aside, I find the dialogue and situations in Seinfeld to contain significant insights into human behavior and thinking ... many of which are agruably profound and cleverly presented. I wasn't a big fan of the program as it ran its course through the 1990s, but I am now with the reruns, likely the result of observing (and experiencing) the situations in "real life" as I age. That noted, "reunion shows" are rarely as good as the originals even if the entire cast participates ... it's just not the same. But if anyone can pull it off, Seinfeld and Larry David probably could.

My 80’s chicks were Lynda Carter, Erin Gray, and Catherine Bach…

Tour of Duty and China Beach were good shows.

Have you seen “Hunter’s Blood”? One of my pawn shop finds...a VHS promo copy.

Its aged just fine. In fact, the young SJW types hate it because it has some very non-PC / woke moments (that are hysterical).

Moonlighting with Bruce Willis was good. It was basically a show about if the guy and girl would finally be a couple, like Pam and Jim in The Office.

Murphy Brown- vomit. Remember when there was a big scandal because she was single and came to work pregnant.... how far we have fallen! If they did a remake, she would come to work as a man.

Designing Women- never watched it.

I never could get through more than a minute of Friends or Married With Children. But Seinfeld always made me laugh out loud. Having lived in the NYC area for three years, working in a company where I was one of only two gentiles, definitely helped. From the use of George Steinbrenner as a character, to the Beefaroni carriage ride through Central Park, and all of Costanza's many hangups, it's all a show about New York people (and nothing).

“Seinfeld was about making fun of narcissistic and neurotic main characters”

Yeah, it was rarely laugh-out-loud funny. It was more comedy of the absurd. :)

I don’t think I’ve seen any here who didn’t like Married With Children.

Hey! They did Green Acres, didn’t they? Loved Hank Kimble!
