Being well-paid probably correlates to having the time and energy to explore stuff like that. Any time I set out to explore niche TV and movies, the "I could be doing things to become less broke" thought likes to intrude.

The show ended before a large swath of HN's demographic was born. I watched it as it aired and barely remember any of it. I wouldn't know that was a Seinfeld reference if no one said anything.
