I think it does, because the show wasn't very topical. The humor was character-driven. On a different note, I can't believe it's been 10 years since the show ceased production. I still remember sitting on the couch in the living room watching the finale...and less than a month later, I graduated from high school.

I agree. The show still holds up, and will have a long life in reruns.

Can't believe it's been ten years either. Time flys.

Absolutely, it is still a great show and it is hard to believe that it has been off the air that long.

Well for one thing it was timeless and it was about "nothing". People still have relationships, they still eat, agonize over jobs, etc. That's what was so brilliant about it! If anything, it's more popular now than it was back then because it's on DVD and TV in syndication almost everywhere! The only things I see that date the show are material things. Like in a very early episode, Kramer walked into Jerry's apartment with this HUGE cordless phone. That was pretty funny. And Jerry's hair is a lot shorter now than it was back then. But he's still cute!
