Seinfeld is considered one of the all-time great sitcoms, but more than 20 years after it ended, has the show aged poorly and become full of problems?

Anyone can cherry pick issues with all old shows, but overall Seinfeld is still fine. The problem is we are losing our sense of humor in this country.

Its just like the Jack Benny shows from te 50's. We know it was written for the time but FUNNY is FUNNY!!!!
NetFlix forked out 500 million betting that it holds up.

Where I am, it's still playing in local syndication, two episodes six nights a week, right after the local news. The next-oldest show that still has a prime syndication slot is 2 1/2 Men, which left first-run about ten years ago. So I'd say Seinfeld is aging pretty well.

I think Seinfeld has stood the test of time well...sure, like anything else elements may be dated but that's to be expected...it will always be a favourite of mine regardless...

Where I am it is aired everyday and it's always good to have a Seinfeld pick me up
