Am I bad because I'm watching Seinfeld more now than ever?
It's just a coincidence, I swear. But it's really the only show that still makes me laugh my ass off.

1. No, you just have bad taste
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

3. Seinfeld is one of two shows that I've been completely obsessed over.
The other one is Arrested Development of course.

I used to say the same about the Simpsons, but given the quality of the last few seasons, well... :yoiks:

5. You ever watch Curb Your Enthusiasm?
I started watching it about a year back and now I find it superior to Seinfeld (which I still like a lot)

7. Yes!
I own all the seasons on DVD... great stuff. I seriously want to know if Larry David is that big of an asshole in real life.

8. Larry's not an asshole!
He's a victim of circumstance!

I LOVE LD.

22. I don't find him to be an asshole
In fact, I find him to be on the right side of the argument 90% of the time.

Which probably means that I'm an asshole, which explains why I like Larry so much.

10. larry david on youtube
there used to be this great 5 part interview of larry david on youtube (with ricky gervais). a great moment is how they talk about viewing the character larry david as a superhero for just saying what is on his mind at any given time.

20. Larry David is playing
Larry David.

He's a friend of my brother and his wife
and I was told that he plays who he is!

Could you imagine what it might be like to being married to him?

4. I'm watching the "puffy shirt" episode right now.
I feel sort of guilty, but I'll still watch and re-watch them anyway. I shouldn't, I know.

6. It was the series finale that soured me on watching Seinfeld reruns.
I love to watch Frasier, though - any episode centering on Niles and/or Marty.

12. As bad as I am.
I've been watching Seinfeld reruns for decades, it seems. Even seeing an episode for the fourth or fifth time, I still laugh out loud.

The other night, I actually saw one episide for the first time.... I said...:wtf: !!

The other TV show that makes me laugh is King of Queens. I guess I just relate to New Yorkers.

13. Yes
Of course, that would have applied without the Kramer Racist Tirade.

14. No, it's still a great show.
The show and the characters on the show are not equal to the actors that play the characters. (Although I must admit that I don't watch Tom Cruise movies because I dislike him so much. At least Michael Richards seems to be sorry for what he said--unlike TC.)

15. Michael Richards has really painted
himself into a corner. Every time he tries to go back to stand-up, he will be heckled by those who just want to see if they can rattle him to a melt down point again. He should have just walked off the stage that night and let the management of the club handle the situation. Being a bigot can be a real career killer. I'm surprised that, in the 21st century, we are still dealing with these issues. Mel Gibson, and now Michael Richards, should be intelligent enough to know better. But, it also proves that you never know what is going on in someone else's mind.

16. I love Seinfeld
And I couldn't care less what an actor who played a character in the show does in his private life.

18. I loving watching "Friends" reruns and I'm not afraid to admit it
The show was great, the talent was great but there will be at least one DUer who will diss me. Well they can go kiss my ass - I love friends!
