Seinfeld

Seinfeld's a relatively old show, but I still believe it is one of the greatest TV shows that ever aired on television. If it were not a huge sucess, it wouldn't still be on TV today, as people continue to watch the show even after it has ended.

I think Seinfeld is one of those shows that a person either hates or enjoys. There really is no in between in terms of liking the show. Some people think the cast of the show to be complete imbeciles, while others crack up laughing from simply turning the show on before even knowing what is going on.

Like I mentioned, I'm a huge fan on the show, and I own the first 8 seasons of the show on DVD. The 9th season was released earlier this month, but I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. I really should pick it up soon, as the 9th season has some of the best shows in the series. I remember almost every detail from every single episode, and it's particularly funny when I can relate a real life experience to the show (Which has happened on more then one occasion).

So lovers of the show feel free to express your opinion on the show, what your favorite episode is or who your favorite character is. Conversely, haters express your views as well, since I have already heard plenty of negative thoughts about the show.

I can only dedicate myself to watch a show religously and regularly that contain the following.

Adult Content
Nudity
Violence
Strong Sexual Content
Drug Use
Adult language

I never found Jerry Seinfeld to be funny at all. I've tried watching the show but it just never did anything for me. Being a Huge Fan of Bass Guitar, I found the Bass Slapping between each skit to be extremly annoying.
I heard that the Final Episode of Seinfeld caused almost as much outrage as the final episode of the Soprano's

i agree with NUN on this one, i could not really tolerate Jerry Seinfeld, nor Jason Alexander, but i have found myself laughing at a couple scenes, mostly the Soup Nazi one, and the one where George tips the canoli (sp?) place with a ten dollar bill, only to have the worker look away when he tipped it. then George went to pick the 10 out of the tip jar to redo it so they could see and the worker busted him and accused him of stealing his money.

I've heard of the Soup Nazi episode quite a few times. Must be funny.
I've always thought of Jerry Seinfeld as a Milk & Cookies Comic such as Bill Cosby, Bob Sagat.... etc etc

Dude... check your facts... on stage, Bob Saget was a FILTHY comedian. His stage act is about as equal to being the polar opposite of the "milk & cookies" kind of characters that he's played on television.

I am a HUGE fan of the Seinfeld series... I own all of them on DVD. I am also a huge fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which was created by Larry David, who co-created Seinfeld.

For those of you who like adult language, adult content, etc. etc. (like you, Nun) I'd highly recommend watching that show... it's on the HBO Comedy channel all the time.

I can't specify which one of the Seinfeld episodes is my favorite, as I like all of them pretty much equally.

I love the show. I haven't bought any seasons past the 6th on dvd yet, but I'll get around to it. Any episode, any detail, even the most mminor, I can easily remember. I'd put a minimal 20 time viewing cap on ANY Seinfeld episode. Anytime it's on tv, I can't change the channel. I have to stop and watch.

I've also seen Jerry live once, when he was eary on touring his new material. I can never get enough of the show or anyone on it.

That episode was on the other day. It was actually a calzone not a canoli.

Hey.... are you Gack?

The "bizarro world" (or whatever it's called exactly) episode was a pretty funny one... or the one where Jerry dates the woman that has man hands...

Some of my personal favorites are "Opposite George" and especially "The Summer of George." Watching the end of "The Summer of George" cracks me up for a good five minutes every time where they show George struggling to walk, while Raquel Welch is learning to swing her arms while walking. She winds up complaining she can't do it, while poor George is not making a noise re-learning to walk.

Can't forget "The Marine Biologist" either, another one of my favorites.
