Screw Seinfeld, let it die. It's pointless meandering shows like this that made the wack job executives at FOX cancel daring and actually stimulating shows like "family guy" and the "tick".

Woah, Fox, wouldn't want to have something groundbreaking out there or, heaven forbid, give a show a chance to make a return on it's investment. Throw on some more seinfeld and whatever other crap you've got in syndication!

I think The Dick Van Dyke show probably earns that honor. But anyway....

I could never get into Sienfeld (I appriciate that it's about 'nothing' (though it's not, really-it's about four bastards in NY-and that's not what bothers me. Nothing really bothers me about the show, I just never got into it. What does bother me is paranthetical abuse))

Seinfeld had nothing to do with Fox cancelling those shows. Fox would have shifted them around and put them up against powerhouse programs and eventually cancelled them with or without Seinfeld. Fact is that Fox screws over innovative programs in favor of "American Idol 45" or "Who Wants to Marry a Cow?"

I've loved both iterations of The Tick. Fantastic. Damn I miss that show.

Fox does wuss out pretty quick. Emmys saved Arrested Development (the best of the current shows for me. Though I started watching Scrubs under deress(sp) and have to admit it's pretty good). Andy Richter Controls the Universe was what Herman's Head would have been if it was funny, they wussed out way to quick on that as well.

Are you on crack? Seinfeld was a *HUGE* gamble when it was introduced(and for some time after).

Sure, Seinfeld is great, but best ever??

I think there are some other shows that would vie for best ever sitcoms...

In the 50s: I Love Lucy, Honeymooners
In the 60s: Dick Van Dyke
In the 70s: Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, M*A*S*H (Heh, the 70s had some good TV, eh?)
In the 80s: Cheers
In the 90s: Seinfeld, Friends

I think Sex in the City, the Jeffersons, Fraiser and Family Ties are probably in the next tier.

so are you asserting family guy is based on and created because of seinfeld, back up that inane bullcrap

That was a terrible show.

The lead actor wasn't an actor, he was a stand up comic who couldn't act.

It had some good characters -- only thanks the talent of the people playing them, but the plots were mostly crude and uncreative. It seems to me that public interest relied almost entirely on sleaze and base humour.

thing is,Seinfeild doesn't want to make anymore,and its sort of late anyway.Fox Desperatly offered him huge amounts of money,and also offered the cast 1 million an epsiode,but much to the dismay of the cast,Seinfeild declined.Too bad.I love that show so much....

Family Guy>Fraiser>Seinfeld>Anything>Friends

I'm gonna have to say that Family guy is better, simply because there are things you can do on the animated medium that you can't do elsewhere. But don't even get me started on FOX:

Greg The Bunny
Andy Richter controls the Universe
The Lone Gunmen
Firefly
The Tick
The Tick(Again)
American Dad(Already!)
Futurama
Family Guy

The List goes on and on

but you fail to recongnize that at least tens of millions of people think Seinfeld is funny.And the guy that said the masses were attracted to it by lower forms of comedy?Family Guy is much "lower" form of comedy by most standards.Don't get me wrong.I love family guy.I think it brilliant.

But Seinfeld remains more popular.And the main fanbase of Family guy is made up of middle class white children who can't really appreciate half the jokes.

ok, Im gonna say this one more time, and im done for the year.

see, theres richard pryor...and besides him, every other comedian/comedy writer is walking so far behind seinfeld that if he took a dump in the road, the Bush fAmily's political legacy will be over before anyone sees the dump. Its not an opinion, its a stated, proven fact. Proven by whom, you ask? By people whp are not you Or dubya, which automatically makes
them smarter than you.

So, in conclusion, shut the fuck up, you menadering jackass.

Thats not bad,but I have a better one.

How about you go shut up,stop being an asshole,it won't make people agree with you.If you can't not be an asshole,here's some alternatives of being social that I'm sure will fit your lifestyle.

Hmm I was a kid when Seinfeld first aired, and a lot of the humour went over my head. I didnt really get into it until I was an adult.Its probably perfectly understandable that a younger person would genuinally feel seinfeld wasnt funny.

First off, do you even know what a fact is? While technically an opinion can become a fact, this only works if EVERYONE IN EXISTENCE thinks that Seinfeld is funny.

Second, learn to spell, and capitalize, its called english, learn it.

but still that makes 3 people ahead of him and i think alot of it didnt make sense. like chris rock rated higher than the lady who used to write his jokes.

Well since I live in Australia its been a while, but I can remember one example, one guy on the show (an extra) was found out to be Christian, after which he got laughed at and stuff. Many jokes were played on him cause of his faith.

Mind you, I think the Simpsons are more of an enemy of the Christendom nations than Seinfeld.

The fact that the main character played by Seinfeld was knowingly played as a complete jerk with the moral sense of a trilobite escaped you did it?
