I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm at my computer and the tv in the living room is on, the news just went off and Seinfeld just came on. I have to go turn it off. I hate, not let's make that...HATE Seinfeld. This is not a show that I just don't want to watch, I really do not like it. I cannot see what everyone saw in it, I just think it is a terrible show and not funny.
Sorry, I just have to say that every so often, to counteract those who are always going on about how great it is.

I'm with you. I never understood why this show about 4 people who really didn't seem to like each other much was so popular.
I also have to agree - I never quite got what the big deal was...
...although a lot of my 12 Step pals like the episode where George kept telling James Spader, "You...owe me...an amends!!!"
I thought I was all alone in the world! Not only four people who don't like each other but four really REALLY stupid people. I can not stand to even listen to it!
Wow! Like you Katherine, I thought I was one of the few that disliked this show. Everyone is always talking about how great it is and I have never seen it. I'm glad to see there's at least a few more out there that don't like it.
man...how can you not like Kramer..........
u guys r fucked u just dont understanmd the comedy and to the dude who said hes never seen it and hates it what the hells with that. all of u should watch the shit out of it with an open mind and u wont ever be able to get enough of it. do u think all of these people that see the comedy in it are wrong? no not at all. every episodes story is written to perfection. i bet u more effort and creativeness has been put into writing that "stupid" show then any other sitcom in television history. SEINFELD IS THE FUCKING SHIT YOU HATERS
Ok that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Trust me, I have tried to sit through a few episodes but couldn't and had to change the channel. Do you want to know why. Its because the show is a piece of shit and fucking sucks and I don't even know why people even think its funny because its not. All they do is complain and some how find humor in dumbass things (e.g someone says something stupid like "I just hate brochli" and everyone is just pissing there pants). To that person that has never watched an episode, I recommend that you do not even try to watch and episode because it will probably be the biggest waste of your life. Trust me there is absolutely no comedy in Seinfeld and I continue to believe that it is to this day one of the worst TV shows I have ever seen and will never figure out how it lasted on air for so long. Seinfeld isn't the "shit", it is shit and I fucking hate it. The show is garbage and I have half a mind to just walk up to Jerry Seinfeld and punch him is his annoying ass fucking head for being such an unfunny douche bag.
seinfeld is so lame, its just a big masspsychois(speling?) it fuckin annoys me that those guys make milions for beeing retarded, well one can always hope
karma will sort them out :P
We all have our obsessions. Some people are Star Trek nerds, some people are comic book nerds. Some people, including myself, consider themselves to be Seinfeld nerds. For these people, the 90s sitcom has become much more than just a collection of old reruns that appear on the television screen when nothing else of interest is in the T.V. guide. Instead, Seinfeld is almost a way of life, a language, a culture, even a philosophy. A philosophy that has come to be known as Seintology. Seintologists are the few that are able to understand the true beauty behind ‘The show about nothing’.
A majority of the population find Seinfeld to be an enjoyable and humorous program, while a small amount of people, specifically the younger generation, find the show intolerable. While these two groups of people have opposing viewpoints of the sitcom, they tend to have one thing in common; they lack the knowledge of the true, deeper meanings of the four main characters. While the famous foursome is based on people from Jerry Seinfeld’s New York life, the characters are not meant to be portrayed as realistic. The characters are meant to be a satire and symbolic. The four protagonists portray the taboo, the politically incorrect, the socially absurd, Freud’s Superego, the devil that stands on all of our shoulders. Furthermore, the main characteristics that each of the four possess allows are each based on a different personality disorder. Jerry’s lack of tolerance for anything out of his routine and his obsession with cleanliness represent obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. George’s constant negativity, unnecessary suspicions, and mistrust of everyone around him represent paranoid personality disorder. Elaine’s shallow portrayal of herself and others, instability with relationships, and black-and-white thinking portray borderline personality disorder. Kramer’s unusual thinking and peculiar behavior represent schizotypal personality disorder. These four disorders further illustrate to the audience that the four characters are meant to be unrealistic and show irony towards the fact that they are so successful in both their social lives and their professional lives.
Outside of the four unrealistic characters, the program develops minor characters and simple storylines that are exaggerations of real types of people and everyday situations. We all have annoying coworkers, overwhelming friends from childhood that we can’t escape in adulthood, and eccentric family members. Furthermore, we have all been in a situation in which we had to wait unnecessarily long for a table at a restaurant, or forgotten where we’ve parked our car, or have had uncomfortable conversations with people who invade our personal space.
The show about nothing has been through nine seasons and 180 episodes, each written to near perfection. The brilliant flow of multiple storylines combined with the everyday situations, politically incorrect major characters, varying minor characters, and not to mention the brilliant, every day, observational humor that Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were able to produce 180 times, illustrates the true genius behind the show about nothing.
