Great show, but you're point is right on.

Mr. Television · 07-15-2009, 07:47 PM

I love this thread.

Jessica · 07-15-2009, 10:13 PM

Haha, I don't even understand this thread. What's wrong with Seinfeld. Excuse me, I'm almost 19 years old, but I barely know what promote is. We use the same word in Sweden, but still explain here.

It sounds to me like he's talking about the theme of "Seinfeld" being about "Nothing", like when Jerry and George pitched the TV show idea to NBC. George suggested that it be about "nothing", meaning just a show involving characters that just live a normal life with no dramatic affairs or anything like that (ie: Chinese Restaurant, movie theatre, etc).

Hmm... how to explain "promote"...? Well, when you promote something, it's like advertising a particular thing. For instance if a TV series was constantly showing people drinking beer, it might influence the viewers to do the same. Or maybe a TV series like American Idol, which features would-be singers might inspire a viewer to try their hand at singing or some other talent.

Hope that helps! I was kind of surprised at the title of this thread as well, but now I see that it was all done in fun. He was being sarcastic.

I know what you mean Bri - I watched the entire run of the show and never once saw a good spanking or any form of child abuse!!! I'm surprised it was rated as high as it was!!

It should have ended with George in a gimp mask and Kramer......

Jessica · 07-16-2009, 10:39 AM

And Kramer...

Go on.
