Most of you redneck goobers hated New York Yankees. Then in the early 90’s A show about nothing came along. Characters were super egotistical , had no problem lying , and were of poor moral fiber. But boy was it funny.
Fast forward a few decades and a loudmouth, smart ass, Yankee with poor moral fiber jumps into the political arena. Instead of the south shunning this guy you embrace him. Call him genuine. Shoots from the hip.
Seinfeld normalized shitbag New Yorkers and paved the way for a piece of shit scumbag. You guys have no problem stealing an old ladies marble rye. Or lying that you work for Vandalay Industries. Forgetting the name of a women you just had sex with, No biggy. It was Daloris by the way.
The south should be ashamed of itself. Falling for Hollywood propaganda. I’m hoping “y’all” have learned your lesson and to never trust a fucking loud mouth , lying, know it all New Yorker.

I guess reality is starting to set in.

Not sure I would agree with your correlation. I saw Seinfeld as a comedy about stereotypical New Yorkers. Though I did consider it funny, normal never entered my mind.

I liked Archie Bunker better than Seinfeld. In all seriousness, George and Kramer were much more entertaining than Seinfeld IMO.

Agree that Seinfeld’s supporting cast was what made the show funny. His dry delivery isn’t my style. The skits were still funny though.

Entertaining yes, but they also normalized immoral and sometimes illegal behaviors. Importing Hondurans to roll cigars, illegal. Bootlegging recently released movies, illegal. The show just normalized crappy behavior. Which explains the hiccup in 2016. All good , I think the grit eating masses have learned their lesson.

Suppose one could look at it like that. Not sure most would though.
If there would have been a hiccup in 16 we would have had more troubles then than we do now.

I’m still going with there wasn’t one. People were tired of the Swamp and were ready for a change. They thought Trump might be that change. But they knew Hillary wouldn’t be.

I'm not sure that the "Seinfeld" show was such big hit in the land of the Boll Weevil.
( "Where the laws are medieval" )
Would have to research the numbers, but that's my gut instinct.
( Of course, as a native New Yorker, that should count. )
The only time I watched an entire episode of the show was the last one.
Channel-surfing bits & pieces were all I ever saw, and they were less than wonderful.
What I never picked up on was that this was not "regular" TV.
The audience wasn't expected to identify with the characters.
"Neurotic New York Jews" were neither interesting nor amusing.
( and they still aren't ) So, I tuned it out ... paid no attention.
The Borscht-Belt veterans on the Sullivan show were funny.
Jackie Mason ... a Rabbi for crying out loud ... was funny
Myron Cohen could tell a 5 minute story, with one punch line, and slay the audience.
Jerry Seinfeld ... not so much.

You are borderline retarded. Seinfeld was the number 1 show on television for 7 of 9 years. The smart guys, Larry David, and Jerry Seinfeld, sold off a small piece of the residuals. They are both billionaires today. Go enjoy your shit shows.

This cracker has never once watched a entire Sienfeld show so I have no clue what you deep thinkers are pontificating.
I don't generally sit around laughing at a TV to begin with, but his humor was absolutely not my style. I tried, pero no bueno. I've always been boring.
