Is Seinfeld a timeless classic? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What do you think? Will Seinfeld be around in years to come? Will it survive in reruns like The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, I love Lucy and The Odd Couple have?

Yes.

B bunch, Gilligan & Lucy prob had like (maybe) 3 seasons each.... not that that has to do w/ it's classicness.

Sein ended on it's own, unlike most.
It's been down for going on 6 seasons and appears to have the ear marks of a classic sitcom.

btw- your sig pic is such a classic moment!

It's hard to tell, who really knows if the next generation will like the humor. But I think its got a shot.

Well.... it will always have at least 1 viewer.

LOL I know I love that show.

I think it will be an all time classic.

It broke the mold on what a sitcom should be. On many eps, you'd see 4 stories going on and it would all tie in at the end in genius fashion. 30 minutes would fly by and you'd be begging for more whereas many of today's sitcoms, you're just happy it's over if you made it all the way through. None of the scenes dragged. There was constant action going on. No wasted scenes. Plus, the endings weren't all mushy. There's also so much quotable material on it. There's more but my brain is fried.

I think so, look at the syndication ratings. It is almost always in the top 5 in syndication.

I agree with MilleniumMan.
