I first saw Seinfeld this year, when a cow-orker loaned me some DVDs.
I've been a Michael Richards fan since around 1980 when Fridays debuted, but frankly, I just don't like the other three characters. Wouldn't want to be friends with them.
No one is saying you have to be friends with them. That's kind of the point. Their antics are amusing, but they are shallow selfish people.
The humor is in the observations and the behavior of these people.

Yes, I think he was what made the show, the outsider loony with 3 neurotics.
