Seinfeld is still iconic, but 36 years later, many parts feel outdated, problematic, or cringey.

Clickbait. Why did I bother?

Still iconic, but...blah, blah, blah. If you don't like it, JUST DON'T WATCH!

Also, this headline is trying to invent a new word--

Kramer’s Behavior Throught Seinfeld Can Be Unsettling

I guess they were going for "Throughout"

Right? I mean, if you feel a show is outdated, problematic, or cringey, you're probably not a fan and shouldn't watch it. LOL

Next, we'll have an article talking about how problematic The Honeymooners or I Love Lucy is. Heck, I could probably write one myself, but I'm not going to. Because those shows are set in the 1950s, and I don't expect them to be set in 2024. Same thing with Seinfeld being in the '90s.

Regarding the lack of diversity, it's a show about four Jewish friends. So what? Seems realistic to me. People of similar backgrounds tend to spend time together.

I agree with you.
