Seinfeld was the first good sitcom.
That's such a silly thing to say I'll assume it's intentionally provocative and not intended to be truthful rather than representing genuine ignorance.
But for anybody young enough/daft enough to take it seriously, check out
Fawlty Towers
Young Ones
Blackadder
Yes Minister
Dad's Army
Etc
Etc
That's just a quick UK list off the top of my head, I'll leave others to correct the parent comment with US (Bilko?, Cheers?, etc) and other national
(Let The Blood Run Free?) suggestions...
- chongli 4y agoThe IT Crowd!
- mellosouls 4y agoPostdates Seinfeld but yes, another good one :)
- yuppie_scum 4y agoIT Crowd is maybe the most similar to Seinfeld I’ve seen. Main characters independently find themselves in increasingly awkward situations (due to social ineptitude, laziness, entitlement, narcissism, etc) that eventually all unexpectedly intersect in some climactic way
- 4ggr0 4y agoYour suggestions are all british, Seinfeld is obviously american. Maybe what the other person was trying to say was "Seinfeld was the first good american sitcom". Maybe it's the typical US = The World issue :)
- mellosouls 4y agoSure but I included a couple of US ones myself as a starter, it was still a daft thing to say.
- 4ggr0 4y agoI think my brain just completely skipped the last line where you mentioned the US shows, my bad. Probably thought the comment was over after reading 'etc' twice :D
