Actually I caught Jerry Seinfeld regularly on Letterman and Carson during college. I even caught a live show from Jerry at Catch A Rising Star.
I was interested when his summer replacement show aired but it didn't last.
Generation X DID grow up with Seinfeld, we just didn't necessarily "look up" to it. I accepted it and Twin Peaks but rejected 30 Somthing and Cheers.
Dang I guess we did... Was it really on that long ago! LOL I guess I'm getting old! I never really watched it when it was on prime time. The re-runs are hysterical though. Didn't get into Twin Peaks either. My friends and I were into General Hospital and L.A. Law! Oh yeah and SNL when it was still funny! (o;
