Friends are merely a copy of Seinfeld. Like all the sitcoms post Seinfeld. Maybe not one to one copy but in all of them have references to Seinfeld and even replicate jokes from it. The office is full of Seinfeld references. In the last season of the office, Curb is directly advertised by Saul Goodman. His way younger self as an actor dated Elaine in Seinfeld.

What exactly am I wrong about? Labeling Seinfeld as the GOAT or friends being the start of conedy mediocrity and below mediocre? I don't mean to bad mouth the dead, but Matthew Perry at some point, within SNL context, told a costar that he invented sarcasm. He must of been high on strawberry jam at that time. Aside from The Office which was pretty good up to a point, friends, gang bang theory, two men cut in half or whatever that garbage was called, king of queens, and any sitcom you can think of, tried to dethrone Seinfeld. But it's simply not possible. And it never will be. That king of queens is nothing more than a poor copy of not even Seimfeld as a whole, but a single unmatched aspect of Seinfeld. The F. Costanza and son magical chemistry.

Larry David fixed the ending with the Curb finale where he did a shot for shot remake. Larry is in jail & Jerry comes to pick him up because a juror was caught failing to sequester & the conviction was overturned. That was a smarter ending because of course when they’re finally getting their comeuppance, some random technicality gets them off the hook. He acknowledges that this was how Seinfeld should’ve ended & I agree

Something similar happened to me too. Back in the 90s, I didn't have much brain power to understand the Seinfeld structure. That's what makes it so good. They were ahead of their time. I used to laugh drooling at married with children when Al was scratching his bellybutton and then held out his arm to his wife for her to sample the content of his bellybutton too. I laughed at that cause I didn't know any better. Seinfeld is a very acquired taste as in what values and morals it promotes or makes fun of. I tried a while back to see how will I perceive married with children with new and improved brain power of understanding comedy, and......I could barely crack a smile at what the Bundy's were promoting.

A show finding it's identity, having it's Hey Days, losing it's luster and going for a season or two in decline, is no unique phenomenon. Iconic shows like Cheers or MASH went way longer than their peak and had poor ending shows to close the series out. I do think that one of the very final Seinfeld shows in the last season, the Puerto Rican Parade, was a real stinker, and representative of the decline and running out of ideas.

It's not fully fledged without it's downs. That's what makes Mike the GOAT, his prime along with his now mythical defeats, so is Seinfeld. The office had it way worse. Really relatable chemistry up until Steve left. After that they were completely aimless. The last episode was excruciating. But still, incomparable. Seinfeld with it's perceived downs still the very best, and the office with it's downs. When the office went down, it did it like the titanic.

This is dead-on. It's the greatest situation comedy of all-time, but it got away from what made it truly great. The ridiculous, over the top episodes of the last two seasons were reflected not only in the writing, but the acting. George's character became a blow hard when he used to have more subtlety. The situations didn't tap into the real situations it once did, which made it iconic. It just became a cartoon - and, yes, a parody, of what made it great. The newsflash is that, apparently, Seinfeld is going to revisit the show's finale with something new he and Larry David are cooking up. That reunion arc in 2009 on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" was funnier than anything from the last two seasons of "Seinfeld" because it actually got back to more realistic - everyday - a show about "nothing" - situations. I hope whatever it is they're doing, it's something special.

Very true. It's exactly the point I was trying to make.

But when you watch them chronologically, you notice a pattern of the stories getting more and more ridiculous, and it's sad that it seems to start with one of my all time favorite episodes: The Marine Biologist.

Now that we have Unfrosted, it seems like everything you say you hate about Seinfeld is actually just Jerry’s sense of humor. Larry carried the show. When he started getting burnt out Jerry had to start pulling some weight. Jerry’s perspective is actually a bit out of touch, and it became more apparent as his star grew. Larry is the one firmly rooted in reality. Although he can also write slightly elevated he never actually goes over the top. He knows how to use the tiniest of circumstance to his advantage when writing an episode.

I don't "remember" anything, because I only started to watch Seinfeld in the last 2 or 3 years. It is not that well-known in Germany, and I would never watch a dubbed TV version of it. So I watched it in its original language - more than once lol. A few dozen episodes are on constant rotation. It is a masterpiece, at least seasons 2-8. It is incredibly funny, insightful and deep and the best Sitcom I have ever watched. This is Sopranos-level humour (despite being a product of an earlier time in the TV landscape and therefore "cheaper" looking). Absolutely amazing writing and acting. George Costanza alone is possibly the greatest TV character of all time.

I like how the entire series was about the worst most despicable people ever, and we all thought it was great. I guess they were really making fun of how stupid we where the whole time

If you think the final episode of Seinfeld was bad, the subsequent careers of Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis Dreyfuss are the stuff of nightmare levels of cringe.

“The Opposite” would have been a great finale.

Just saw this for the first time. As a huge Seinfeld fan, I could not agree more. When it went away from the ironies of life in NYC, it was done. From Del Boca Vista to Play Now and Kruger, they totally lost it. Everyone became a parody of themselves instead of being themselves. When reruns are on, I can't even watch the later shows.

Huh. I clicked to agree and am actually grateful I disagreed! I saw it from the beginning as a kid all the way to being an older teenager and it still holds up for me today. I like the ridiculous older seasons more than the earliest ones. 🤷🏼♀️ anyway, great video. Subscribed!

Sorry for your loss, my mom and I watched the show together too. And she’s the same age as your mom was, 1958. I agree with you, for the most part, about it jumping the shark. The last 2 seasons are fun though, for the fans. It jumped when George calls Marisa Tomei, before the funeral.

Those last two years weren't the same format but that doesn't make them bad. I could see hating them if there were more than two or three seasons of far-fetched writing, like the Office--which had an endless stream of crazy seasons--but two hilarious seasons hardly seem like a betrayal. (Not to mention the fact that high-concept plots, like Jerry befriending Keith Hernandez or them producing their own TV show were there already from the second season.)

I’ve been watching it recently on tv and it’s actually just as good if not better than I remember. A perfect show.

The show was slow to take off because Seinfeld as a comedian was considered mid... he was mostly known for late night show gigs, so it was weird for him to have a show using his name. I remember even remarking to a friend the irony of the comedian playing the strait man in his own show about being a comic. That said, the writing and premise was great, and Seinfeld really did hit his stride in that capacity. I do feel if they called it something else and marketed it properly it would have taken off quickly from the start.

How many of us have watched the show , in reruns for years on end , probably seeing each episode 5 --10 times at least ? That's gotta tell you something.

The title of this video should read, Seinfeld isn't as good as I remember. Because you're speaking for yourself. And that's ok

While there is, of course, some truth to what this AI guy is saying, I have to point out that, in spite of some of the groaner episodes in the last two seasons (like the appallingly bad The Butter Shave) there were also some straight-up masterpieces Season 8: "The Soul Mate" is one of my top 20 episodes. The Abstinence, The Little Jerry, The Little Kicks, and The Bizzaro Jerry are all brilliant. The Fatigues, The Pothole (with their take on a classic Marx Bros bit of a packed storage room, and then when the door opens, they all tumble out) are solid. And The Muffin Tops, with George pretending to be a tourist, is sohhh good. Steinbrenner's phone call w/ the Tyler Chicken guy is pure gold. Season 7: The Wink, The Hot Tub, The Pool Guy, The Gum (hysterically funny bit w/ the gum and Jerry's thick glasses), The Rye, The Wig Master, The Bottle Deposit all brilliant. Even Season 9, with its flops and terrible finale, had some incredible work (thanks in part to David Puddy): The Blood, The Junk Mail, The Merv Griffin Show, The Strike (Festivus), The Reverse Peephole, The Strongbox, The Frogger, and The Maid all have segments that are spectacularly funny: Jerry's textbook marathon breakup w/ Julia Campbell in The Frogger; Puddy with the fur coat and then the 8-ball coat, everyone having a "job" at the party; the final scene of The Maid, with Kramer acting like a naive, lost girl getting into the "pimp's" car is incredible. So, in spite of the lousy episodes in S8 and S9, if they had stopped after S6, it would have been a huge mistake.

Nope, it’s even better than I remember….only issues were a few of season 9 and 1 episodes that were a bit to ehhh, but thst show is so far above most sitcoms. Seasons 3-7 were masterful. 8 was excellent with a slight dip below 3-7. Nine had some great episodes but had a few subpar episodes. Worst thing about 9 was the finale, it was very unseinfeldish and had the characters doing uncharacteristic things. A bad finale(got, dexter, walking dead)can really put a stain on a series but with a comedy and i think there is a lot more latitude to brush it off.

Did Seinfeld evolve so to speak over the years? Yes, but other than thhe finale it did not "Jump the Shark" and it remained quite funny throughout all seasons. You are just way off base with this one.
