Seinfeld and Co. ruined my life

[Fester Chugabrew]

I could never catch on to this show. Every freaking line goes right over my head, just like Rocky and Bullwinkle. I guess I was born out of phase.

Don't feel bad, I thought the show was stupid. I found all of the characters very obnoxious and unlikable. In my opinion, Seinfeld is on of the most overrated shows of all time.

[Ukiapah Heep]

From Elaine you learn that most women have little sense of humor and are only funny when extremely pissed off.

Proving once again the educational value of Seinfeld.

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

I never got Sienfeld either.

how old are you?

Rocky and Bullwinkle was very political, and unless you know ther era, you'll miss things.

My daughter, who is 12, has no patience for it, and doesn't understand why i STILL giggle at it.

[Angry Republican]

I loved Rocky & Bullwinkle but never got into Seinfeld. My boss, however, is obsessed with Seinfeld.

I'm a Simpsons guy. Just look at my tagline.

First, we go sit around diner and drink coffee. Then, get moose and squirrel...

Note to author: It is just a TV show. Repeat this phrase in your mind until you learn that sitcoms are fantasy and not a guidebook for living your life.

[ReadyNow]

What's a "sitcom?"

[Clemenza]

Seinfeld was the last sitcom I ever enjoyed. Must be a New York thing.

On the other hand, I never got what was so great about Survivor, American Idol or those AWFUL films Jurassic Park and Twister.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle"

VERY funny!

[Angry Republican]

Situation Comedy

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Are you kidding? Twister is a classic! "Left hand - red..."

[Clemenza]

No plot, sh-tty acting, BORING!

[Army Air Corps]

I see that Shecky Green has entered the room...

[SteelTrap]

Who is the most political - Boris and Natasha, Dudley DoRight or George of the Jungle?

[tiamat]

do you remember the "Ruby Yacht of Omar Khaiyem"?

I was SOOOoo mad at the movie a few years ago... completly wrong.

[Revolting cat!]

It's overrated, the characters are obnoxious and self-centered, inconsistent (in writing), but compared to what else was and is out there, it looks good. Its good moments are when it sometimes becomes pure, nonsensical slapstick, with the best characters the least developed ones, the most two dimensional, Newman, Mr Peterman and George's parents. But then the producers can overdo it as well, as in the opus of the president of NBC (he becomes a Greenpeace terrorist.)
