Throughout the 1990s, the hit show "Seinfeld" brought a unique brand of humor to the world of primetime sitcoms. The brainchild of comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld ran for nine successful seasons on NBC and remains popular. The show follows Seinfeld and a group of other 30-somethings as they navigate life in New York City. However, instead of focusing on significant events, the show primarily highlights the funny quotidian happenings that make up real life. Unlike many sitcoms, "Seinfeld" isn't afraid to use sarcasm and dark humor, which is a big part of its appeal to viewers. Furthermore, the characters all have their own sets of neurosis that make them relatable and unique.
The characters often deal with minor issues that hilariously snowball into significant problems due to their actions. In a typical sitcom format, these problems usually resolve by the end of each episode and offer memorable laughs. Unfortunately, although this show features plenty of hilarious and heartwarming plotlines, there are some stories that even diehard fans can't stand. Some of these storylines are borderline offensive and invite controversy, while others simply fall flat. Some fans still voice their dislike for these failed storylines over two decades after the series went off the air.
