I really enjoy Seinfeld even though I never dealt with situations like the Chinese Restaurant. It is up there with my favourite shows of all time.

- colmvp 7y agoI've been re-watching clips of Seinfeld on YouTube recently. I realized that I didn't fully appreciate the genius of Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld writing outlandish stories that had fulfilling payoffs at the end. That, plus the perfect casting of both the main and extra characters.
- MrMember 7y agoIf you want more of that check out Curb Your Enthusiasm if you haven't already. Most episodes follow a similar formula, several interleaving stories that join up at the end of the episode in some outlandish way, usually at the expense of the main character (Larry David in Curb's case). It's one of my favorite TV comedies.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoSo many of the problems encountered by the characters would be non-issues if they all had cell phones.
- neogodless 7y agoI'm sure this isn't what you meant, but I thought about putting cell phones in the hands of the characters, and all I see is them sitting in a booth at a restaurant playing on their phones. So much of the was "about nothing" but it consisted of conversations. Take away the conversation, and the show doesn't exist.
- beerandt 7y agoThen you obviously haven't seen the Seinfeld reunion episode of Curbed... They do a Seinfeld episode within the episode. One of the story lines is George creates an iPhone app. It was the most I've laughed at a TV show in years. Larry David + Jerry Seinfeld is the definition of comedic synergy.
- Insanity 7y agoYes but how does that take away from the show?
