I think Seinfeld is timeless no matter what and I mean any show is going to look a bit aged no matter how hard they try. But the story lines on Seinfeld (most of them anyway) are definitely timeless. Unless everyday things go away completely, there will always be someone losing their car in parking garage, or someone ordering a "Big Salad".. I could go on and on but I think you all get the point!

Sometimes I take a break from "Seinfeld" reruns maybe for a LITTLE while,but not for too long then I just gotta have my "nothing" fix!I particularly enjoy the episodes written by Larry David,which seem to be most of the first few years at least.His style of play writing very much reminds me of some of the vignettes in two wonderful Woody Allen books I read in high school,"Getting Even" and "Without Feathers".Trust me.If you're into David's "Seinfeld" writing,you'll LOVE these books!

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I'll definitely check out those books! And since I don't remember "meeting" you before, welcome to the board!

The catch phrases (Yada, yada, yada and not that there's anything wrong with that etc.) are just as funny today as they were then!

Seinfeld showed how easy it is to find humor in everyday life.

Seinfeld holds up as well as any sitcom ever to come down the pike. I got tired of reruns of a lot of classic shows, but I never get tired of Seinfeld.

"Seinfeld" is among an elite group of programs("All In The Family","Twilight Zone","Honeymooners",etc)that seem to transcend usual critical and viewer considerations.They weren't just tv shows,they became substantial pieces of pop culture and in that process have all become eternal re-run staples............

Seinfeld can always make me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen the episodes. They are always funny. I tried to order a big salad once and she gave me two small salads. LOL
