Seinfeld could be really good and really bad, often during the same episode. Plus there were too many episodes about bodily functions. Also portrayed African Americans as buffoons.

IMO it has not aged well.

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

You couldn’t remake The Office, either.

However, I wonder what Jerry Seinfeld will do with the issue of Michael Richards (Kramer) since he apparently hurled some racist epithets while performing at a club in 2006.

I don't remember that. Could you provide examples?

Off the top of my head, the black characters (with lines) I recall were Jerry's exterminator, George's co-worker Morgan, John Paul the marathon runner. None of them were buffoonish.

Definitely portrayed gays as buffoons, as in the “Who Doesn’t Want To Wear The Ribbon” episode.
