I have no idea why this became so famous. I think the script is mediocre; the other actors are OK, but Seinfeld himself just cannot act. He is just a stand-up comedian walking around the set reading lines. No expression, no difference from one situation to another, always the same wooden face. Speaking of stand-up, his numbers shown in the series are really lame - but maybe he is a good comedian live, on that I cannot comment. As far as I am concerned, this is nowhere near as funny as Friends, and nowhere near as sophisticated - and funny - as Frasier.
