@@randommthrfkr6568 it doesn’t revolve around me but to say it’s overrated is ridiculous. Of course youth won’t talk about Seinfeld. It wasn’t a hip show for 90s babies. I didn’t watch it in the 90s.

This isn't even the 1st episode. It's the pilot episode made about a year before Season 1 even began. Kramer's name was Kessler and his character was 180 degrees different from the classic character he became. Elaine (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) wasn't even in it. She became the #1 sitcom star of all time with 11 Emmy awards and 26 Emmy nominations. If this is all you're gonna do of the classic Seinfeld show- it's not worth it.
@@TeamEvil84 The pilot episode (The Seinfeld Chronicles) aired July 5th, 1989. Technically, they count it as Episode 1 of Season 1. But Episode 2 of Season 1 aired May 31st, 1990, almost 1 year later. Only 3 additional episodes made up Season 1 (aired June 7th, 14th and 21st, 1990). Season 2 began on January 31st, 1991 and ran for only 12 episodes until June, 1991). They didn't get their first go-ahead for an entire season (23 episodes) until Season 3.
Seinfeld is not overrated at all. It paved the way for many sitcoms and comedies in general for years to come. Some of the jokes haven’t aged that well while some are timeless. You cannot ever judge a show from one pilot though. First season is not the best as it’s still finding it’s footing. Same with a lot of shows
The one where Elaine begs her boyfriend to change his name to OJ, because he has the name of a serial killer... 😅👍 That didn't age well, but that's what makes it so funny.
@@BillGraper Why did that not age well? I just watched the entire series last year, the show is fine, no worse than half of the movies of the period that get reacted to.
Fun fact: Elaine wasn’t in the pilot episode because originally the waitress in the opening scene was gonna be the female character that nbc wanted. But switched to Elaine because she wouldn’t be limited to just the coffee shop
Seinfeld as a show is like a sandwich. The bland bread (beginning and end of the show) is the most mediocre part of the entire series but the middle section of it (the juicy meat) is some of the most unique and cleverly written tv comedies in a long time which speaks volumes about a show that has no real plot except following the follies of 4 New Yorkers. Like many people here, I didn't really start watching till mid season and just kind of organically started watching after thinking the first few seasons were meh.
This was the pilot. It doesn't even have Elaine in it. The first season had only 5 episodes. The show didn't really take off until the middle of the third season. When "The Contest" episode aired during the 4th season it really took off.
I watched both Seinfeld and Friends during it's original run and Seinfeld is far superior. You were watching the first episode. The show hadn't hit it's stride yet. The Elaine character wasn't even on the Pilot. Keep going, you won't be sorry.
Like others have stated, the first season isn't that great. Several of the characters were rewritten and reworked later on. The show has a change of tone midway through season 2, where the characters start to resemble what they'll be like for the rest of the series more closely. Everyone is much more normal at this point. George, for instance, is a lot more reasonable and laid-back in this pilot episode compared to what he'll be like in just a couple of seasons.
It's a big but common mistake for newcomers to the show to judge it's popularity by the first season. Seinfeld is one of if my favorite show of all time but I wouldn't like the show much at all if all I had ever seen was the first season.
You mean pilot. The predictable 'season so and so is so much better', like you're bagging the first season. The first season is excellent. The first season is what made Seinfeld successful, got people's attention. Subsequent seasons aren't necessarily better, they're just different, the show evolved, changed. I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste. There's no better or worse, Jerry's like a Libran.
Seinfeld is the best, but ya gotta just skip that first season. There's quite a few sitcoms that are like that. They take time to find their pace and characters.
When I recommend Seinfeld to a newbie, I always say to start from season 3. It’s hard to appreciate seasons 1 & 2 if you don’t understand the comedic type of the show itself, which wasn’t as mature in the first 2 seasons
The 1st episode of 90% of shows are just awful. Whenever "The Simpsons" finally has a last episode and people watch the 1st and last episode they will wonder how the show was ever made.
No tv show started off great. Every classic series had a weak pilot season. Every single one. They all get better as they go to a point. Seifeld has some of the greatest characters ever made for tv.
Since there are so many episodes of tv shows, it would be better to look up more popular episodes from Google searches and put up a poll of 5-10 episodes. And watch the top 3-5 episodes from that poll. Early episodes tend to be uneven because they’re determining the format of the show and the characters’ personalities.
This was the first episode of the first season, if memory serves. It's amazing this show made it passed the first season, but after all, you have to realize that this was billed as "the show about nothing", so for now, you're witnessing it in it's raw state. Actually, as big a fan as I was, I don't think I started earnestly watching until about the 3rd or 4th season, and then I eventually caught up by way of its' syndicated repeats. Yet even Seinfeld isn't funny all of the time. I really don't know a show that is.
Want my advise. Keep friends and Seinfeld on their own island. This show is literally about nothing while Friends while great show but needed storylines. What made this show great is the fact we have at least a friend or family member who can relate to one of these characters.
To do a podcast while munching on your lunch is not a format you want to use in future, its insulting to your audience and the program you are reviewing. If you honestly think Friends was funny, then you should stop revieiwng comedy immediatly.
Another reactor to a classic comedy sitcom who doesn’t get it and clearly is not interested in getting it ( what’s with the eating pasta while doing the reaction . “ I’m just reacting to this thing cause I have to but straight away I’m displaying my complete disinterest “. Waste of my time and your viewers time .
Seinfeld got its infamous fast pace more in seasons 5 through 9 in my opinion. Also some of the early years is very time capsule stuff, it just a different world of sitcoms now but this Seinfeld is the biggest reason. It was groundbreaking with multiple things in tv every season.
@@malcolmdrake6137 Many, many people disagree with you. Your sense of humor sucks and you are probably offended by everything so definitely not a show for you.
The intro episodes weren't that great, and I think the show was almost cancelled, but it gained popularity I think in season 2, and then just became better and better. It's also one that uses a lot of references from the late 90s, so younger people might not understand it like their audience did when it was on.
They're really took a but first season to even get going, it gets a lot better from the first season about halfway through the second and the rest of them are good. This shows far superior than Friends. That's in my opinion of course.
I repeat: you watched the pilot, which I don't even think was ever in syndication. I didn't see it until it was on DVD. Seinfeld is four characters: Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Seinfeld himself. Eventually every show gives equal weight to each character, four concurrent plotlines....all tied together at the end, a sort of sitcom magic trick. If you don't have Julia Louis Dreyfus as Elaine in it, it ain't Seinfeld!
Definitely keep going with it. If memory serves, Seinfeld didn't really find its rhythm until the second season. You can see the seeds of what it would become here, but the rhythm/pacing feels a beat slow compared to the prime years.
To all the comments reading this, some people might think Jerry is an irritating actor but no, he’s actually a very good actor. He was the one who wrote the whole story with Larry David. I can see why people are saying Jerry is irritating maybe because of the way he points things out, but For one thing i know in America people expressed themselves and opinions, and all that about narrators and all that but people have to eventually come to a realization to realize That the show is very classic and one day they will like it. I just see a lot of hate surrounding it in this comment page. And sadly it kinda bothered me to see people write that as a person who likes Seinfeild but I wouldn’t want to be bothered and the goal/challenge is to not let ourselves get bothered by small things cause bother is bad. So good luck.
According to a 2019 story from The Hollywood Reporter, Seinfeld and its international streaming rights were sold to Netflix for upwards of $500 million, a mind-boggling sum. The sitcom’s finale aired in 1998, but its popularity has transcended into this millennium-which is impressive for a series that’s often described as a “show about nothing.” It’s that “nothing” that earns Jerry $110 million each year. Seinfeld’s TV and Hulu reruns quite literally pay off.
Seinfeld is a classic. It really start going after Season 3. It's one of those shows that start poorly in the first seasons, but becomes one of the most iconic ones by Season 9.
I would recommend giving season 1 a chance to see how the characters and relationships are established. The pilot is just a really brief outline of who they are and what the format of the show turns out to be.
This is, as advertised, "a show about nothing". If there is a story inside an episode, it goes nowhere. There has never been a more "character-based" TV show. Until you get to know the characters, most of the humor flies over your head.
Who in the world thinks you can evaluate a show from its pilot? In the pilot, there’s not even an Elaine character at all, though she’s critical to the mix, and Kramer (called Kessler in the pilot), is limited to a neighbor character who never leaves the apartment building. The show completely changes after the pilot.
As with most TV shows, it took "Seinfeld" a bit to hit its stride, but when it did they really hit it. You'd need to watch a good many more episodes to see why it's so highly thought of.
yeah, first season was meh imo but then it starts to get much getter, also I was never really a fan of Jerry's stand up comedy scenes tbh, like I can tell he's supposed to be telling jokes but I rarely laughed at them, luckily those scenes are not that long and the rest of the show is really funny
One at a time, many Seinfeld episodes may not be that impressive. They get better, when you see them as a whole. You realize the extra effort they are putting into these. That other sitcoms do not. The extra sets, for example. Most sitcom episodes will be filmed on 2-3 sets. A Seinfeld episode will be filmed on 5-6 sets. Might be an entire set just to watch somebody open an envelope or something. Just so we can see the expression on their face. Also, most sitcom episodes have 1 or 2 plotlines. A Seinfeld episode has 3 or 4. Always tying together at the end, in the craziest ways. There will never be another sitcom like Seinfeld. It is pure magic.
The whole country couldn't wait for a new episode of Seinfeld come on on Thursday nights that's how you do it was. Friends is absolutely the worst show and not even funny there is no comparison
I didn't watch Seinfeld until it was well past the 3rd season & in syndication. The first episode I watched was The Limo & I had no idea who the characters were but I really enjoyed it.
It took a while before I liked it. It takes a few episodes before you realize it is one of the best ever made. You have to get to know the characters because the comedy isn’t the type that’s up front funny. But once you Get used to the personalities and you understand the funny angles they see every day things. It’s amazing. This episode they made a big deal out of “signals”. Also it got even better as the series went on. Especially after the first season. It didn’t look as dated.
It’s not overrated. It’s like saying the Beatles are overrated. Without Seinfeld, many of the best comedy series of the past 30 years would never have existed. Friends is kinda derivative, whereas Seinfeld is insanely nuanced and intellectually brilliant.
It really does get way better as it goes on. I feel like in a way out way Friends is more of the updated version of Seinfeld. But George and Kramer are two of the most unique and hilarious characters of all time.
Seinfeld was super funny as the show moved on.It was funny because it was everyday funny real stuff.None of that lesson learned at the end of each show.
It's as simple as this, if you're old enough and mature you will love it, if you're young and inexperienced, you'll hate it cause you wouldn't get it. It's a show made for adults, not teens or young adults. Take that in consideration.
The middle seasons are best seasons of Seinfeld. They hadn't hit their stride yet in the first couple seasons and Larry David wasn't around for the last couple years.
Trust me; when you finished watching all season of Seinfeld, you'll get why it's being honored as one of the most influential sitcoms of all time...

It took a while before I liked it. It takes a few episodes before you realize it is one of the best ever made. You have to get to know the characters because the comedy isn’t the type that’s up front funny. But once you
Get used to the personalities and you understand the funny angles they see every day things. It’s amazing. This episode they made a big deal out of “signals”. Also it got even better as the series went on. Especially after the first season. It didn’t look as dated.
It’s not overrated. It’s like saying the Beatles are overrated. Without Seinfeld, many of the best comedy series of the past 30 years would never have existed. Friends is kinda derivative, whereas Seinfeld is insanely nuanced and intellectually brilliant.
It really does get way better as it goes on. I feel like in a way out way Friends is more of the updated version of Seinfeld. But George and Kramer are two of the most unique and hilarious characters of all time.
No one wants to watch someone stuffing their face as they comment!
Forget about that list, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT is one of the funniest sitcoms ever. Also consider FRASIER and NEWS RADIO.
Seinfeld was super funny as the show moved on.It was funny because it was everyday funny real stuff.None of that lesson learned at the end of each show.
I am a huge fan of the Seinfeld show. Although the pilot episode was not the best. The series gets much funnier as it progresses.
It's as simple as this, if you're old enough and mature you will love it, if you're young and inexperienced, you'll hate it cause you wouldn't get it. It's a show made for adults, not teens or young adults. Take that in consideration.
lol
Without Seinfeld there would be no Friends
If you were on the show they would make fun of you for blowing on tiny bited of food. Your eating noodles! 🤣
The middle seasons are best seasons of Seinfeld. They hadn't hit their stride yet in the first couple seasons and Larry David wasn't around for the last couple years.
Seinfeld started out slow, but once they had their rhythm it became much better.
Why would you watch the pilot episode??!
you can't judge a sitcom by the pilot
its a ridiculous conclusion based on this
