I quite enjoyed a lot of the Seinfeld episodes when it came out. Some characters annoyed me to no end, but they helped the narrative along and it was enjoyable overall. These days, I think we expect everything to go to extremes. It has to be hilarious, not just funny. It has to be tragic, not just dramatic. It has to be action packed, not just action. Seinfeld wasn't hilarious. It was just funny, in kind of the same way your friends are funny when you're joking around the table during poker, but any outsiders would probably think you weren't funny at all.
