Zanadoo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 this thread needs an entire category on the home page. one topic just is not enough. by far the greatest sitcom ever created. One of the only shows that you can keep watching reruns of over and over again..and they still make you laugh. "The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 there were tons of great seinfeld episodes. however, the final season wasn't nearly as good. and the series finale was a bit of a letdown for me. i know this is a seinfeld thread but i think that cheers is one of the few (if not ONLY) sitcoms that was great from the beginning to the very end (including the final episode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 You know, Seinfeld is practically two different shows. I absolutely love the early to middle seasons. They were brilliant and innovative. I never tire of watching them. But then something happened in the latter seasons, instead of the characters being an embellished reflection of quirks and neurosis, they became caricatures of the characters. Does that make sense? George simply became angry and yelled at everything. Jerry became shallow. Elaine became a slut. Kramer became stupid. All the quirks and neurosis was gone. What made them appealing simply was gone. The show became about gimmicks, equally divided giving each character a situation to deal with, it ceased being a show about "nothing". In a lot of ways, it became a ersatz version of itself. Anyway, old Seinfeld good, new Seinfeld bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great and hilarious show in the beginning (but after it was Seinfeld Chronicals), but after the whole "Show about nothing" stuff it started to go downhill so much so I stopped watching 'cuz by the end it had lost its appeal.
