I think I only saw 3 episodes of Seinfeld the whole time it was running.I didn't miss it ;-)Same goes for Friends.
The Andy Griffith Show and Barney Miller, well, they are something else entirely ;-)
I actually never saw Seinfeld, when it initially was on Tv...I dont think I actually tune in, until about the 5th season, so I have had to see the rest in reruns...
In general, I never watch new comedies when they first air...I just dont find what are advertised as comedies, to be funny
But I just find Seinfeld to be really funny...
