There should be more characters to rank tbh :(

Why 'Seinfeld' is superior to 'Friends'

 

Opinion by Melissa Blake

Updated 1232 GMT (2032 HKT) August 23, 2019

 

Perhaps it's easiest to start with how the two shows are similar, since, arguably, their list of similarities is shorter than George's resume. Both shows follow the lives of a group of friends living and working in New York.

 

But that's where the similarities end.

 

Where "Friends" suffered from simplistic and generic storylines, "Seinfeld" remains one of the smartest and most unique sitcoms. In the 21 years since its finale, few, if any, shows have ever been able to replicate that same level of magic and ardent fandom. And what about its many contributions to the American lexicon? Do you ever say "yada, yada, yada?" Do you celebrate "Festivus?" Thanks, "Seinfeld."

 

Where "Friends" gave us unrealistic expectations of life in our 20s -- a sort of hyperreality -- "Seinfeld" was just real. On "Friends," all the characters were airbrushed, beautiful people living in massive New York City apartments that far exceeded what even successful bankers could've afforded. On "Seinfeld," however, the characters had messy -- or not much -- hair, dressed in jeans and T-shirts and lived in more normal apartments. (Though given how little they worked, it was hard to imagine how they afforded even those.)

Oh my, I’m posting in the Seinfield thread

 

Netflix have secured the rights to show Seinfield from 2021 in an eyewatering half billion dollar deal

 

so bye bye all your mid-high budget shows that don’t attract tonnes of publicity

Hopefully Seinfeld will gain more attention in the UK now (especially with the younger generation). You “Buzzjack youngsters” will get see what a brilliant comedy looks like as well :P

Looks like Seinfeld is coming to Comedy Central and Channel 5 in October 2021! :o :cheer:

I’d never seen this before until today (isn’t it great watching old grainy footage from the ‘90s). :P

 

I also saw this video on the same channel...

 

 

That actually reminds of a Seinfeld episode (I'm bootleggin' a movie, baby!). :D

I can’t argue too much with this list tbh. The Chinese Restaurant is overrated and shouldn’t be that high though, and The Merv Griffin Show is too high as well.

 

I’m planning on ranking ALL 180 episodes in order! :o An almost impossible task but I’m gonna try my very best B-) :D

I’m starting this very soon x

It’s nearly time folks...

180. MALE UNBONDING

 

 

 

“Male Unbonding" is the fourth episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld to be produced, and aired on June 14, 1990, as the fourth episode of the first season.

 

So in last place, and in my opinion, the weakest episode of Seinfeld is, “Male Unbonding”. Obviously at this early stage of the series, Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld and the rest of the cast were still finding their feet and it clearly shows here. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “bad” episode of Seinfeld, but this is probably as close to one as you can get.

 

Like most of the first season and some of the second season, the episode is just a bit on the slow side and not much happens really. The main plot is basically Jerry trying to avoid seeing a childhood friend, called Joel Horneck. Jerry doesn’t seem to like him much at all (he is rather annoying to be fair) and tries to break up with him, like he would with a girlfriend. Jerry even uses the “it’s not you, it’s me”. Anyway, it doesn’t work as Horneck starts crying like a girl, so Jerry says he didn’t mean it and offers him a ticket to see the Knicks, instead of taking George. In the end Jerry gives both tickets to Horneck.

 

The other subplot is Kramer coming up with one of his many crazy ideas throughout the series, building a pizza place where you can make your own pizza pie. Although it’s not that crazy as it actually happens later on in the series.

 

This episode has its moments, but overall it’s relatively weak. Horneck is generally annoying throughout and the episode feels like a slog to watch in all honesty.

179. THE DOG

 

 

“The Dog" is the 21st episode of Seinfeld. The episode was the fourth episode of the show's third season. It was written by series co-creator Larry David and first aired on October 9, 1991.

 

So next, we have an episode called “The Dog”. We’re in the third season now and Seinfeld is starting to hit its stride. Unfortunately, this is easily the worst episode of the season.

 

Jerry is on a flight back home and ends up looking after someone else’s dog because the owner gets ill and has to visit the hospital. Long story short, the dog is very annoying throughout with its (fake) barking and making a mess in Jerry’s apartment, and the dogs owner is almost as annoying as the dog.

 

A weak episode overall, but Jerry’s stand up does have this great monologue...

 

“On my block, a lot of people walk their dogs, and I always see them walking along with their little poop bags, which to me is just the lowest function of human life. If aliens are watching this through telescopes, they're going to think the dogs are the leaders. If you see two life-forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge”?
