Oh absolutely. That was the genius of the show — you could relate to all the stupid, embarassing, typical events in some way or another. When something goes awry, my husband and I still joke “hey, this is just like that Seinfeld episode where....” And the way the writers could weave two or three unrelated storylines together to “meet” at the end was amazing. I know it was a hugely liberal show, but it was definitely one of the best ever written IMO, along with M*A*S*H and (to a lesser degree) Frasier.
Looking back, Seinfeld got away with a lot of very non-PC jokes and story lines, poking fun of stereotypes that actually have some basis of truth in them and not being afraid to point that out and that if it was a new TV show on a major network today, they’d never get away with it today.
