Jerry was completely right about ending the show. Dragging a show's length because "its popular" will drastically diminish its quality, reputation and legacy. That also backs up his statement about money not being the end goal. (even though he was already rich when he said it)

@Quaker763 Год назад

Beyond that, what I find brilliant is that it stayed totally in the 90s, which in my opinion makes it a comedic time capsule

I never agreed with the saying "If your job is what you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life" but "the blessing in life is finding a torture you're comfortable with" is so much more accurate and I love it

@elig.6056 11 месяцев назад

For me, and for many others, the first saying is still good and applicable, though I must agree that technically, it makes very little sense, in a few ways (one can work and love doing it, or just love working). The most substantial problem is that even in spirit, as an absolute saying, it doesn't work for all. But it's good to note that for many, it does express the spirit of the same important idea as the latter quote. I personally empathize far less with the latter quote, as I virtually never identify the things I love doing as torture, even very figuratively. But I do understand that sentiment and perspective. Perhaps I'm in the camp that's just happier with difficulty and challenge than those tortured souls in the Seinfeld camp.

Seinfeld is pretty good himself. However, the show never would have worked without Larry David - he was the real writer. If we're talking comedic observations, they're about equal,; if we're talking stage performance, it's 75% Seinfeld; but if we're talking writing a script, it's 90% Larry.

I don't like him either, but his comedy style was the exact formula for standup success in the 80s. There was a time when the Seinfeld approach to comedy absolutely killed in bars and comedy clubs. He was lucky to land that sitcom before the standup drought of the 90s began.

Jerry did the right thing with quitting Seinfeld after 9 seasons. There is a saying "when the party is at it best leave". Seinfeld Season 5 is my favourite season in a comedy show and i couldn't stop laughing my ass off. Seinfeld is a really brilliant written Comedy. Every character is funny Elaine, Kramer, George, Jerry himself. I love this show Jerry Seinfeld is the GOAT

@dhenderson1810 Год назад

There's another reason he did it. Seinfeld was a perfectionist. He and David were heading up the show for seven seasons and hired the writers. The writes would write the episode, and then Jerry and Larry went through it with a fine tooth comb to make it as funny as it could be. This process took up most of the week. When Larry David left, Jerry had to carry the show on his own. He had to read over the episode presented to him, make changes, do all the other stuff heading up the show, and act in it too. Jerry reported got burnt out. He didn't have time to do stand up any more (which is why they abandoned the stand up routine at the start and end of episodes). As the show got more popular, it meant that Jerry had to do more. He needed a break. If Larry David had stayed, Seinfeld could have done a tenth season, as it wouldn't be so much put on Jerry. Besides, most shows have a limited life. You can keep the ball in the air for only so long. Better it go out on top, rather than like many shows where it drags on, cast members leave to be replaced by less funny ones, and it looks the shadow of itself. Shows like "Seinfeld", "Friends" and "Mash" remain popular, because they finished while still rating well.

@dhenderson1810 Год назад

Entertainment is supposed to be fun, escapism, You work hard all week, see the world going to crap on the news every night, have politics shoved down our throats etc. It is good to watch fun TV, or a fun movie, switch off your thoughts and let it wash over you. It is relaxing. Too many shows today have to have a "message", make you think. Everything seems required to justify its own existence to mealy-mouthed misery guts who are angry about anything. Seinfeld being about nothing is what makes it work. It is fluff, but people want that sometimes. We don't want to be told what to do or what to think. Yet, Seinfeld is also relatable. They talk about things we all xan relate to, day-to-day. We might still learn something about ourselves and the world, but it is subtle and natural, not beating you over the head with it. Escapism is a lost art in today's entertainment. Today, you must "learn something", and a lot of it is negative and nasty, even woke,. In today's worjd, and the mental health problems around, funny entertainment helps de-stress and takes you away from problems, even for a short time. It sure beats using drugs and alcohol to cope.

I met Jerry Seinfeld in 1988 when I was 20 years old. I lived in Birmingham, AL which had a surprisingly good comedy club and the hotel I worked at hosted the headliners. I tried to make sure I was working and driving the hotel van every weekend I could in order to maybe get to drive them around some so I met a lot of comedians but Jerry was by far the most famous one. I was supposed to be driving him to the club but he was running late and it was a 20 minute drive so I rang his room just to check in with him. He told me, "I'm the headliner. They can't start without me!" He was very much joking though and showed up shortly thereafter. I mean, he was right, but he was still making a joke. On the way to the club he was very cordial and made me laugh the whole way. He and Bob "Gilligan" Denver were two of the nicest celebrities I ever met.

@@suissetobacco They're pretty accurate for people living in NYC at the time. It was (and may still be, I don't live there now) a city of mostly young, mostly single people, with a high degree of variation in pay but universally high rent. Many people, men and women, looking to get laid. Plenty of "grown up children" who continue the lifestyle long after people their age have got married and moved out of town. One of the attractions for people - men and women - in their 30s and even 40s was that you could still hook up with people in their 20s - people were not picky if you looked good or had money. Many people hooked up with richer people just to eat decent for a few days/weeks, or sleep in a decent bed, go see some shows. Many people worked through any exotic fetishes they had - dating people of a different race or gender just to say they did it. Couples were coordinated "items" - your partner for the evening being a fashion accessory. Of course, people spent more time trying to hook up and failing than they did actually in a relationship, and all these elements are highly exaggerated on Seinfeld for comedic effect.

I was partly addressing the fact that “and made mistakes through their lives, like we all do” can imply that this sort of behaviour is acceptable or normal. During a first watch, it was easy for me to skip over the fact all the characters were deeply flawed - I chalked it up to innocent quirks. Rewatching the series at a later time left me with a different impression: these people were shittier than I had thought and if it weren’t for them being fictitious I would lose hope in humanity if the people I knew behaved like this on a consistent basis (obviously I know that it’s a show and that normal behaviour doesn’t make for entertaining television, so there’s no real use in holding them to the same standards as real-life individuals). I still realized that I had dismissed what were serious character flaws to being innocent weaknesses, and I believe that some viewers miss that this a secondary thesis of the show. The creators wanted to show that people can be shitty in a slightly more subtle way than what was expected.

@@suissetobacco The amorality of the main characters was definitely by design. They had a rule while writing that they called "no hugging no learning". Essentially none of the characters were allowed to grow or reconcile. This was really a reaction to the formulaic nature expected of sitcoms where the comedy had to fit in with some overarching plot, or love story, or the characters "learning a lesson". You aren't meant to feel bad for the characters or be invested in the plot points of their lives, but simply laugh at their eccentricities and the situations they get themselves into. This is where I think the brilliance of the show lies and why it was so popular. Personally I find that the lessons many contemporary sitcoms try to teach are so childishly obvious that it's insulting. They didn't shoehorn in all this other fluff into the writing and stripped the format to a more concentrated form of comedy. They were the first to refuse to abandon he strict format set out for sitcoms, and they really busted down the door. I'm not even really a fan of the show and don't find Jerry's stand up funny but I've seen enough sitcoms from his era and before and it's easy to see how everything after Seinfeld was changed by it for the better.

Absolutely galactic respect for Seinfeld - discovering him in my late teens (circa 2007-2010) was divine moment, "this is the one, where has he been?!" and Seinfeld the show is the absolute tonic that television needs. His decision to end it on a high-note after a solid 9 year run remains one of the greatest combined creative business decisions of all time, and the perfect accompaniment to the observation of zombie shows like The Simpsons that should have ended no later than 2004, if not 1998. Cheers, Dodford, for putting together this excellent piece that ties so much of Seinfeld together and brings the details to life.

One VERY inexperienced adult, but adult nonetheless. Obviously she was beautiful too, and maybe he was just enamored by the beauty, and her by his status and money. Kind of natural in that sense at least. Not a great look, as he obviously found out, but kind of a *shrug* situation overall if you ask me

@LoganInThailand Год назад

I want to give an example of how big Seinfeld isn't. I live in Thailand. In 2016 i went out with 3 British people and a conversation came up that had a Seinfeld reference. So I mentioned it. One of the British girls, who was around 25, said 'excuse me. What's a Seinfeld'. Her British male friend interjected saying 'umm. I think it's an old American movie'. I couldn't reply. It was a epiphany realising whatever is popular in America doesn't mean jack to the rest of the world.

@LeahElisheva Год назад

It was popular all over the world at the time Even remote countries that you wouldn’t even think had access to television recognized Michael Richards. He told the story on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee-- I forget where he was. Some remote village in Africa I think…. Really out in the middle of nowhere. And some guy who didn’t speak English said something in his native tongue then pointed at him and said “Kramer?!” Just because these British folks, who were just born when the show went off the air, don’t know seinfeld references - doesn’t mean as a whole Seinfeld wasn’t big in Britain. He absolutely was. (Well the show was) I mean come on. There’s those in their 20s in America who don’t get Seinfeld references, either. Yes, of course, there’s always exceptions, and there’s some in the younger generations who stream it or watch it on syndication sure…. But as a whole, Seinfeldisms aren’t common with the twenty year olds in the States, either.

It was pretty funny from what I remember, and leading up to it the tickets to actually see him live were I believe $70 apiece which was high as hell. Regardless, the show sold out and it turned out that he was only interested in finding out if the show would sell out at such that price and not in the actual cash, so upon coming to the show everyone who bought tickets were refunded their all of the money.

Why is it sad,? Good comedy develops out of real conflicts. It's ok to not care for Jerry at times as he behaves like a sociopath in the show and his stand up entries are horrible. And to that he is by far the bad apple regarding acting ability. Still I enjoy him in later seasons but it's fair game not to like him. I actually think that he contributed very little in terms of actual comedy writing.
