Kinda mean making this personal just for having a different opinion to you, but this is the internet, I guess.
Anyway, I’m an old fart and used to watch him before re-runs, ya know. It’s possible to form an opinion on tv shows without running around asking folk beforehand. If you don’t agree that at a certain point in time JS was good, that’s fine too.
A couple of verified facts:
“A favorite among critics, the series led the Nielsen ratings in Seasons 6 and 9 and finished among the top two (along with ER of the same network) every year from 1994 to 1998. Only two other shows—I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show—have finished their runs at the top of the ratings.”
Also…
“By its third season, Seinfeld had become the most watched sitcom on American television. The final episode aired in 1998, and the show has been a popular syndicated re-run ever since. NBC offered Seinfeld $110 million—a record $5 million an episode for a 22-episode tenth season—but he declined.”
But, yes, tell me again how unfunny Seinfeld was back in the day. My entire point was at that period he was comedy gold, and no amount of revisionist snottyness changes that fact.
