Do ya think if Seinfeld had premiered, as we know it, in the early part of this decade it wouldve been as popular?

well, the entire sitcom landscape would be totally different, I believe Seinfeld completely changed adult sitcoms as we know it. The freshness of the show contributed immensely to why the show was such a pop culture landmark. It's really hard to wonder what would've happened if the show came later because Seinfeld changed television adult comedy as we know it, even shows like Friends and Ellen owed a great deal of their humor to what Seinfeld pioneered.

Well, never watched that show, so I can't say anything abt it. Too busy watching old tv shows on a local channel. The kind that made viewers laugh.

Seinfeld lives on in reruns, I don't see it ever getting dull.
