No review needed., 8 November 2002
Author: John Ryder (ryderj) from Stockholm, Sweden

1. Go to your local store where they sell news papers. Buy a magazine or a news paper that contains a list of the tv channels you own.

2. Look up Seinfeld and circle when it's on.

3. Watch Seinfeld and laugh until you die.

One of the best shows ever on television..., 30 June 2002
Author: amm29 from South Carolina

I can think of nothing better to watch on television than Seinfeld reruns!! This show was not only unbearably funny but also incredibly entertaining. Its amazing the amount of copycats that are on television today. Seinfeld is definetly "must-see" tv even though its off the air.

My favorite TV show of all time., 17 June 2002
Author: martymaster (martymaster@hotmail.com) from Fredrikstad, Norway

I believe I have watched all the episodes a dusin times,and I never get tired of them.Seinfeld has it all,great characters with great personalities,great story in each episode.I found all the persons in the series great,but my favorite has to be George Costanza. I was really sad when it was taken off the air,so now I just have to settle with the re-runs.

Yadda, yadda, yadda..., 13 May 2002
Author: nicardo (nicardo@cox.net) from Baton Rouge, LA

The fact that people who claim to hate the show and say they

never found it funny have to post messages about it shows how

much of an important impact the series continues to have. Please.

I think they doth protest too much. It's just an opinion that will

always remain in the minority. I guess they'll never get it, but the

characters being so shallow and absurdly selfish, doing such

ridiculous things was the whole point! The concept was not really

new and fresh, but was executed with such abandon that the

approach has been blatantly copied by countless other sitcoms for

the past 12 years. I don't think you make #1 in TV Guide's Greatest

Shows of All Time simply by being "over-rated." I remember all the

furor when the final episode aired. Like it, don't like it, no need to

get your panties in a bunch. Like a wise person once said, "Hey,

it's just TV."

Jerry Seinfeld "a loser"? Well, if you could created the number one

TV show of all time based on your life, and made about a billion

dollars in the process, some little dorks online calling you "a

loser" would probably mean less than nothing.

#1, 30 April 2002
Author: Jdc102 from Southern California

I am not positive of my favorite show of all time, but its probably "SEINFELD". The writing on this show is pure genius and the way the plot lines cross each other is awesome. Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and of course George are the perfect pair and their characters are even more funnier and well developed than the friends from that other show. The supporting cast (Newman, Mickey, Putty, George's Parents) were all fantastic. I can't think of one bad thing to say about this show. I'm not sure what you think of this show, but I love it.

-No offense "Friends", you're funny too.

The high art of telling stories where there aren't any..., 31 October 2000

Author: Starbuck-13 from Bamberg, Germany

Like many of my friends which I meanwhile infected with the Seinfeld virus, I needed some episodes to get accustomed with this show.

At first it seemed to be artificial, exaggerated. But after about ten episodes, when I learned what there was to know about the characters' special ways, I was hooked. Since then, I saw most of the show and love nearly every episode.

It is funny, and other to my first impression, it is real. These characters live through the daily hassles which we encounter in our own personal lives as well. They struggle through the 90's culture, trying to find sense where there is none to be found.

Seinfelds character is surrounded by a totally crazy bunch of friends: Elayne, played by the extraordinary actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who can display a breathtaking array of facial impressions within the shortest of times. George, the poor loser who has something of us all in him - a true hero cause he never gives up, and in the same time a dumbass because he spoils so many of his chances to get lucky. And of course Kramer, the most improbable character in TV history, who keeps on surprising his friends and the audience with his weird behavior and ideas.

And though many episodes turn out in rather unlikely ways, the core within every story is something which could happen to us all - be it double-dipping, annoying doormen or old-fashioned parents...

I've always said: The best cure for a cold is chicken soup, chocolate and Seinfeld, 12 October 2000
Author: White Dolphin

I was quite young when the series started and so I never watched the episodes when they originally aired. However thanks to the wonderful thing called reruns (which also introduced me to Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and Sisters) I got a second chance to catch up on all the old episodes I missed. Those that I did see when I was younger (and that's very few), I didn't quite get so it was nice to see them again and finally understand the sexual jokes. Seinfeld (together with Friends, which unfortunately is not as good is once was) is my favorite comedy (and television show in general). The characters are hilarious and in a way we can relate to them all (even Kramer). Speaking of Kramer, he's my (and many other's) favorite character. There is not a character that I don't love. Jerry is wonderful with his jokes and George (who maybe I can, strangely relate to the most) is great too, he always seems rather uptight (mind you, who isn't in New York?). Elaine is hilarious as well, giving us the woman's perspective on sex and guys, something men would pay anything for to know. Other minor characters are great too. The Seinfelds and the Costanzas are just the most hilarious parents I've seen. J Peterman brings laughs as well with his strange and wild adventures (mainly in Myanmar, or as it will always be to him- Burma). Susan was great too (though why she stuck to George is beyond me). And of course... Newman. Wayne Knight is just wonderful! (luckily we can still see him in another funny show, though not as funny as Seinfeld, Third Rock From the Sun).

Seinfeld is probably the greatest comedy that was ever on television screens. Oh how I miss that gang!

True Class and a Pain In The You Know Where, 13 September 2000
Author: paul sloan from Scotland

Seinfeld was a true class show, a unique sitcom that ran for years.During its last season though they ran out of stories and the whole thing began to look a little tired.Rather than go the way of Happy Days and MASH( two great series that ran for far too long), Jerry Seinfeld said 'enough'and now we just have memories of America's best ever TV comedy. Jerry, Kramer, Elaine and even George, the all time pain in the you know where, are all sorely missed and have gone to live in rerun land with Fonzie and Hawkeye where they will live forever.

The best!, 7 December 1999

Author: peonzio from New York

I'm not even sure why I'm writing this note. I suppose it's because I was shocked I only saw one comment in this page, and not thirty thousand, as I expected.

That's probably due to the fact that everybody--at least in the U.S.--knows this TV show. It's so immensely famous that it is hard to say anything about it at all.

On the other hand, for the sake of those who have never seen a Seinfeld episode, you missed (so far, I hope) the best TV comedy series of the millennium! Impossible to describe: after all, it's the "show about nothing"! It's humanity translated into laughter... It might take a while to get you geared into the show (but not if you live in New York), but then you'll never have enough of Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer.

P.S. Jason Alexander is just sublime!

Long live Seinfeld, 3 December 1999
Author: Coolguy-7 from USA

I started watching this show two years ago when I was a sophomore in high school. I thought it was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It focuses on four main characters- Jerry (the stand-up comedian) George(Jerry's friend and agent for the NY Yankees) Elaine(Jerry's ex-girlfriend) and Kramer(Jerry's just plain weird neighbor). I really liked the episode where George, Jerry, and Elaine went to a piano recital for a woman whom George fell in love with. Jerry had a Tweety pez dispenser and put it on Elaine's lap. Elaine burst out laughing and the pianist wondered what was so funny. Later in the episode, she found out it was Elaine who laughed at her recital when Elaine had laughed about something at a meeting in Jerry's apartment room. "Seinfeld" is without a doubt one of the best shows to ever air in the history of television.

"Long Live Seinfeld!"
