Go checkout my original Seinfeld review from over 2-3 years ago on the shows page I'm a prolific reviewer. I had nothing but praise for the show until...
Once upon a time I binged Seinfeld for 8 years straight. I woke up to Seinfeld and fell asleep to Seinfeld. I was so obsessed that I would record audio of Seinfeld and upload it to my ipod/iPhone 4 and listen as I traveled to my destination.
Then after years after taking a break from bingeing Seinfeld I finally copped the DVD. I was so excited.
On first watch In years couldn't binge as I did and was forced to give up on the show.
Fast forward I attempted to binge the show once more and I did well but my new impression of the show was Not pleasant.
Either the show didn't age well or I've grown up.
The show felt stupid, "cringe" and annoying. How could I feel this way after binging this show for a decade?
What was the show about?: 4 People in New York go through mishaps as they date, live, eat and work.
Jerry is the main of the show. All of his friends always come to him to spill out their annoying problems. In the episode "the Tape" late at night all 3 randomly show up to Jerry to spill out their confession and display their antics.
Jerry is the sarcastic, easy living comedian. He is a good character. I have no issue with him except his stand up all of sudden didn't feel funny anymore. Every time I use to listen to it I would always say "it's still funny"... Not anymore. Also, I hated the way he dressed. It was so tacky.
Kramer and the freeloading neighbour. He didn't work, he pretty much ate out of Jerry's fridge the whole show. Many people like him but on my present watch I found him unfunny, forced and foolish. His stupid physical comedy had no effect on me. It seemed so forced. I thought the seizure movement was funny though. I wish Kramer stayed in the apartment the whole show it would have brought mystery. But Michael had to complian and he became an eye roller. His story's were uninteresting and forced. His outfits were the best of the 4.
George. The most relatable and funny of the 4. Seinfeld became a George show. By season 4 George was carrying the show.
A fun character because he is so broken and successful at the same time but doesn't know how to handle it. My only beef in later seasons he yelled too much. It was annoying. He dressed meh okay. Overall the best character of the series.
Then there is Elaine. She started out with a cute doll face and a sweet heart. Then she became so meh looking and a Bword.
93% of Her stories were hash and uninteresting. She's another one that complained for. More screen time and dug herself Into a hole Because her character was hash. I don't care who likes her or if she was successful. Other opinions are irrelevant to me. It's like a fly vs superman. I am superman your opinion is a fly. You like trash while I'm trying to save you.
Anyways... Horrible character always angry and rude. She dressed casually ok. She could have showed more skin though that may have changed my perception of her. Oh well.
Honourable mention: Newman, George and Jerry's parents, the hot girlfriends, 1 time guests, Cohan, the extras, all the actors that came to life and passed on.
Overall an eye rolling show. Best seasons were season 1 to 6. Season 7 was okayish and the rest were awful with rare gems.
The dating storylines were a draw but many of them were wasteful. It does have its moments but looking at this show today this show is a waste of time. I'm not going to fully Bash this show and say it's overrated. Nah it was a unique show that couldn't age well. Currently I've yet to binge all episodes because I grew sick of this show.
The show may look like hash now though I still respect it for allowing to distract me for a decade.
Verdict: The show Doesn't age well. Enjoy it in your prime watch.
As for the finale it was okay. Not bad but it felt like they were not trying.
