Seinfeld Seasons 8 & 9 Set the pace for current sitcoms - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Watching Seinfeld season 8 & 9 on DVD over and over again, I can't help but see similarities in the writing, and pacing on hit sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory, Two Broke Girls and Two and a Half Men.

The fast-paced balls to the wall comedy of the last 2 seasons still holds up in today's sitcom world, and it's been over 10 years since it ended!

Oh yeah, it's an awesome show and except for a few minor details, it's timeless! I do see similarities between Seinfeld and other shows and being a huge DHP/Frasier fan, I can even see similar story lines between those shows. But then again, I love comparing the two best shows ever! =)

I'm also a huge Frasier fan, and on some of the Seinfeld commentaries, the writers take jabs at Frasier a bit, for winning so many awards.

When Seinfeld was at seasons 8 & 9 that was when Everybody Loves Raymond began on CBS.
