    I didn’t realize people didn’t like Seinfeld. It’s a great show.

      The show is OK. Parts of it didn’t age that well (i.e. I got older and recognized there’s a handful of racist narratives and depictions baked into it). But Jerry Seinfeld himself, holy cow is he a piece of shit in real life.

        Racist narratives? Seinfeld has some episodes based on racism. The generally fall into two forms: making fun of racists and having one or more of the cast get accused of racism and hilariously try to prove they’re not.

        If anything they’re making fun of the way the label of racist is impossible to get rid of once you’ve been tagged with it. It’s like being committed to a mental hospital and then trying to prove that you’re fine so they should just let you out.

      I would be meh on it if my older brother didn’t watch it every single night, rerun after rerun, when we were growing up. It got really old.

      I had friends who loved it. All of the show I’ve seen was when I was at one of their houses. I can sum the whole thing up as MEH!
