Two veteran television watchers revisit one of America's favorite sitcoms.
Comment: Can you please tell me the name of the Casting Director? Was it omitted by accident or design?
Thanks
Comment: What's so good about Seinfeld is that even if you are tired of the four main characters, there are so many other characters that one can look forward to seeing. While Mr. Noonan points out many of these characters, I think it remiss if we do not include Izzy Mendalbaum among the list of highly anticipated supporting actors! "We are taking it up a notch butterbeam" has to be one of the all-time funniest lines.
Comment: After reading this missive, I have but one thing to say. "It's go time."
Comment: I'm reminded of the "Seinfeld" show every morning. It' the one where George is yelling something like "It's SHRINKAGE!"
Comment: Mark Peyser's argument was obviously not a good one. He must have known what the reaction was going to be like. I don't like "Law and Order", but if someone tells me they watch it all the time, I don't bother telling them I find it boring. Why do it, so many people like it, there must be some redeeming quality about it. Bottom line, Seinfeld is the best ever. When it started out, nobody watched it, except for a core group that kept on growing until it ended with 70 million people watching the final episode. That most people didn't like the final episode I could deal with, but it gave some Seinfeld haters reason to diss the show even more at the end. The fact that some people like Marc feel the need to bash the show after 10 years, is their own problem. All I can say, you are of the minority of opinion, and maybe, just maybe, lack a sense of humor.
Comment: Yadda, yadda, yadda
Comment: The funny thing is that almost every day I note something that is happening as a "Seinfeld event". The things thety mocked are still mockable, including smug reveiwers.
Comment: This reviewers should have the English language revoked from them. Entertainment is lightning in a bottle. It hits people right at the right time. I can still watch Seinfeld and it still gets great laughs out of me. Much more than the shows that copied its existence. Sitcoms now are obsessed with sex jokes that cease to be funny. I hope both reviewers get a macaroni statue shoved up their rectums.

Comment: Seinfeld is timeless, much like Arrested Development, and early seasons of The Simpsons. Perhaps you would do your job correctly if you watched more television.
Comment: Clearly you don't like or understand TV and you should go do something else with your life. Please hurry.

Comment: I feel sorry for you poor misguided soul. I watch Curb and love it. However, I watch Seinfeld every weeknight. I can watch episodes over and over. As with Curb, it took me a long time to warm up to Seinfeld in the 90's. But once onboard, I could never desert them, never! The characters and writing are wonderful, I think and it always makes me laugh. I'd be bored stiff watching comedy from the 50's. You are nuts, excuse the rudeness, but really, an expert on sitcoms saying this? A screw is missing, buddy.
Comment: I don't mean to be rude, but all I can say is "You idiot"! Yes, I love Curb, but I watch a Seinfeld every weeknight. You must never have loved the characters and the writing. I pity you, fool! What the hell do you know about TV? Oh, I imagine you think you are so smart. No. Seinfeld is the only good sitcom. I Love Lucy? Sorry, now that is dumb.
Comment: Wow, I guess it's all a matter of what tickles your funny bone. I catch a rerun occasionally and it's still the funniest show I've ever seen. I laugh knowing what joke is coming. Jerry is great and the best part of the show. His delivery is priceless such as "and you want to be my latex salesman" and the classic sarcasm "that's a shame". This critic is trying to make a statement and be different or maybe he just doesn't know what funny is. Those characters are all gems and the jokes never get old.
Comment: You're krayze. Your definition of great is not the same as mine. If anything those "great" sitcoms subscribed to the tired "happy ending" storylines that you referred to. I wasnt the greatest fan of Seinfeld(namely because it didn't seem like black people existed on that show) but at least it the show took a creative chance and went outside the box and several million people agreed that the old sitcom formula was tired...
Comment: Peyser - its unfortunate you don't possess a sense of humor otherwise you would be able to recognize the comedic genious that Seinfeld is. You should stick to Gilmore Girls.

Comment: WOW!! Are you kidding me? My husband and I own Seasons 1-5. I can not tell you how much fun we have watching them. I constantly find myself watching other movies and shows and wishing they had "Notes About Nothing"(if you don't know what that is, its a commentary that is written at the bottom of the screen and tells you stupid stuff, about how a show or scene was thought up, to facts about what/who they are talking about at a particular moment)! Not only was the show clever and ever moving along, the dvd's are so much more fun. I love Jerry and congratulate him and everyone involved in the show and wish them all the success in the world!
Comment: You're an idiot. The comedy does and will hold up better then any comedy in history.
Comment: You're an idiot. The show holds up better then any comedy int he history of television. this is the stupidest agrument I have ever heard.
Comment: Tell me you're kidding, right? I watched Seinfeld then and I blees the moments I can still watch it now. Even my 14 year old teemager finds it funny. And we're not even anglophones. The show was so smart that even with Jerry Seinfeld as the worst actor ever it was still a blast to watch. Actually, Seinfeld himself was the least funny of the whole cast.
Comment: You must be kidding right? The Mary Tyler Moore Show???
Comment: its time for a seinfield reunion. great show, even today, I would rather watch a re run of seinfield then much of that crap on tv now
Comment: Even the mere mention of some of your story line examples brought a smile to my face. I would rather watch Seinfeld reruns than most of the sitcoms produced today (and do). A co-worker's boat is named "Serenity Now". I can't count the number of times someone has said "not that there's anything wrong with that" after talking about someone who is gay. A good example for using this term would be about the guy posting he could become friends with Niles from Frasier. For you two to assert that Seinfeld was anything but a
legendary show is a feeble attempt to gain noteriety. Get real.
Comment: Funny. While I was reading the article, I remembered that I always preferred Frasier to Seinfeld, for two reasons. (1) In real life I could easily become friends with Frasier, Martin, Niles, Daphne and Ross; I wouldn't spend more than half an hour with Seinfeld (his act grows stale after that), and not five minutes with George, Elaine or Kramer. (2) In Frasier you could laugh out loud for the whole episode, and in the end, all of a sudden, be moved close to tears with the most sublte of gestures. I don't have a problem admitting that Seinfeld's concept was more original, but in my opinion without so much hype, Frasier was a more accomplished show.
Comment: Marc Peyser and David Noonan have a lot of time on their hands. Of course you can't write an article praising seinfeld for what it is "greatest comedy ever" because all those articles were written a decade ago. How is "Frasier" season 6 working out for you? Do you understand their jokes? Name one other comedy that comes remotely close to having the creativity that seinfeld brought us... remember 30 rock and my name is Earl are not funny. That that your lame ass had to write this article just further proves that Seinfeld is the greatest comedy ever. go tivo csi

Comment: Marc Peyser and David Noonan, why would you go against Seinfeld? Is it because nobody would read your article if you praised seinfeld for what it is "the best comedy ever". yes that is why, because all those articles came out a decade ago. how is Frasier season 3 treating you, huh? do you even understand there jokes? no other comedy ever comes close to having the creativity that Seinfeld brought. the fact that you even wrote this crap article just proves that no comedy will ever touch seinfeld
Comment: WELL, THIS IS A VERY CONFUSED VIEW ON THE SHOW BUT,. MAINLY, IS TOTALLY ANACRONISTIC.
iT'S LIKE WONDERING HOW GREAT THE ORIGINAL kING KONG MOVIE WAS AFTER ALMOST A HUNDRED YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE.
"SEINFELD" WAS GREAT AS IT WAS AT THAT TIME, ALL FOURS LEADS AND THE REST OF THE GUEST PEOPLE AND THE SUPPORTING GUYS AND GIRLS.
ON TOP OF THAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE EMPATHY BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS AND THE VIEWERS AND ALL THE INEVITABLE EFFECTS. YOU CAN'T JUST DISECT ONE SHOW AT A TIME. YOU'RE WASTING A LOT OF TIME, AND OURS.

Comment: Is this a generational thing? My parents still watch Mary Tyler Moore reruns and laugh until they cry (I'm 45). Seinfeld is still as hysterically funny as it was the first time -- maybe even more so when compared to the crap that passes as comedy on TV now.

Comment: This has got to be generational thing. My parents loved the Mary Tyler Moore show when I was a kid and still watch reruns of it laughing to the point of tears each time. I don't get MTM anymore, but Seinfeld still fills me with more happiness than any other show.
Comment: I have purchased Seinfeld seasons one through five, and will eventually get the rest. When there's nothing good on TV (which is a lot), we pull out the Seinfeld DVDs. I get tired of watching how many different ways a person can die and/or be murdered. I like "silly".
Comment: The deaf girl can read lips and George used her to help spy on an ex. Elaine's dancing was filmed and used as the ending for Cry, Cry Again. George with the yankees has many plots, one that he had the uniforms made of cotton and they shrunk in the wash. Estelle was going to date the salesman Carl Farkas because her and Frank were seperated. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch my Seinfeld DVDs until the reruns come on at 7pm tonight. 10 years and going very strong.
Comment: Peyser: Sorry there is no nice way to say: you're an idiot. People still laugh out loud and are entertained and amused and interested by the reruns of the Seinfeld plots, and that includes tons of college grads and folks in all walks of life. Nothing besides the Lucy Show and Honeymooners have brought about real comedy that so many people could relate to. You're just another overpaid arrogant pseudo-intellectual reviewer that has to put-down popular culture to enhance your own ego. sgreen
Comment: Newsweek? Those bastards! I agree with others - yoiu should be fired, along with your boss. Dumb article.
Comment: Newsweek! Those bastards! You are so smug and we are idiots for still watching such a lame show. You really should be fired .. along with your boss and editor.
Comment: Blah,Blah go write about politics,or your hometown ,but please spare us this boring analysis.
Comment: No we are not still watching. I could do without it then and I can do without it now
Comment: This is a poorly thought out argument. Art** should be viewed and judged only through the lens of its time.
** You can not condemn Jerry or Larry for the invention of the sitcom, just the brilliant re-invention thereof.
Comment: Did any of you notice that there were TWO viewpoints in this article? Wow, everyone is bagging on the negative critique and ignoring the positive one.
While I don't find Seinfeld as laugh-out-loud funny as I did when it first aired, I give tremendous credit to the ingenuity of the writers to come up with so many clever episodes about "nothing". Also, kudos to the actors, who were outstanding. My favorite show is currently 30 Rock, and while fully aware that the show will lose it's luster for me 10 years from now, I fully enjoy the originally silly and outlandish nature of the show right now.
Comment: What a dumb review... You don't diagram comedy like a 5th grader diagrams a sentence. Comedy is experienced. Besides, 10 years later misses the point. It was 10 years ago and everyone, and i mean everyone, knew they were going to miss the show, which is why 200 stations are still carrying it to an audience, that still loves it. Maybe you should go read War and Peace - again.
Comment: Get a grip everyone. "You should be fired" because you didn't like my favorite TV show is childish. Grow up, or at least turn some of that passion towards something that matters more than defending your taste in sitcoms.
I agree with Peyser. The show is a string of jokes without people you can connect to. Without that, there's no real point in watching more than once. How many times can you listen to the same joke without wanting to throttle the teller?
It would be interesting to see people try the show without its ever-present laugh track. A really funny show doesn't have to cue you in on when to chuckle.
Comment: And you should be fired, too!!
Comment: This is without a doubt the weakest article I have ever read. Ever. You are arguing a side of an argument, that does not exist.
This is so forced and impossible to even pretend to beleive. It's so obvious you only wrote this to get reactions.
I promise you that NO ONE will agree with your horrible assessment of the greatest show in the history of TV.
you should be fired. and so should your boss.
Comment: I have to agree with the comments. Your article feels forced like your boss picked you to write a bad article on Seinfeld. Just admit that you still think it's funny after all these years and all will be well. It's ok. It really is.

Comment: you should be fired for this article. there is no way you beleive any of what you wrote. it is so insanely forced, and purely written to get reactions.
the show was on for 9 years, not 8.
characters don't develop?!?!!?
the only reason seinfeld's rating went up as the years went on, was because of how the characters developed and we become closer to them as "friends" as you say.
this is without a doubt the largest amount of B.S. i have ever read.
you should be fired.
Seinfeld is still a ratings getter 10 years later, IN RE-RUNS!
do some research, instead of trying to argue a side of an argument that doesn't even exist.
you should be fired.
Comment: Come on -- are your clothes, tastes, girlfriends, humor the same as they were 10 years ago?? did Newsweek need a page filler? Obviously, you were forced to take on this subject. Well, it seemed forced!
Comment: I love Seinfeld! The only problem was the beginning shows were very slow and with the fast pace of current sitcoms/shows it's hard to believe it kept people's attention.

Comment: I think in the world of forums, this article is what one would call a troll. Taking an extreme contrary opinion and then he can go to his superiors to show how many people read his article. Weak.
Comment: This article is what I would think of as a troll. I guess it was a slow day so let's post an article which will rankle most people. Funny that this came out now as I just had a mini marathon of the last 7 episodes of the series this weekend and I loved it...still.
Remember, don't feed the trolls.
Comment: The only thing I can picture aging about "Seinfeld" would be how they're still talking on landline phones and maybe Jerry's hair style at times. In essence Mr. Peyser, your criticisms of the show were what made it so brilliant in the end... it never took itself seriously. The little situations and ordinary things that they focused on for over twenty minutes were what made that show in the end... and most importantly, the characters on that show were what made them funny in the end (as well as the brilliant writing of Larry David and company). The insanity and selfishness of these people were also incredibly appealing to the viewers, just to see how far they???d go for their own personal needs and vendettas.
I???ve never seen ???The Mary Tyler Moore Show??? or ???Taxi??? myself??? but if they hold up so well, why aren???t they on just about 10 times a day on the television thanks to syndication? Maybe it???d be more fair to judge ???Seinfeld??? in that light around another 20 years from now, but the fact is that the show wouldn???t be on continuously if people thought it aged badly. We may enjoy watching George buying ???John??? Voight???s car 153 times, but we tune in for the exact reason each time??? it???s funny. If you???re looking for depth in a viewing experience, go rent any dramatic movie at Blockbuster . ???Seinfeld??? was consistently funny and compelling for many years during its run??? and that was no easy task.
Comment: Peyser is a bafoon.... or maybe simply what he wrote is complete baffoonery.
these types of articles where they force a writer to take a stance on something and give an opinion is the reason why modern media is useless and poison to humanity. Ignoring facts like the fact that seinfeld, by the audience, is one of the biggest shows EVER and continues to be and how it revolutionized sitcoms and totally influenced every subsequent sitcom.
no... instead we have to hear peyser's aimless rant which basically says "c'mon guys... guys... c'mon... was it EVER funny?? really"
it's not an opinion, it's not an argument. it's nothing. which leads me to believe that peyser was just doing his job... and that he really ACTUALLY likes the show.

Comment: peyser, you're the biggest bafoon i've ever had the displeasure of reading in my life. Take your "i love friends" mentality and go home. Seinfeld, in it's writing trumps any modern sitcom and if you think that it looks tired, then you should consider that every sitcom worth mentioning since Seinfeld (none of them are really) has totally ripped off most of it's essential elements... poorly, sadly diluting them with awefully bland characters who lack any original perspective. You don't have to think it's funny, but by sitcom standards and history, it's a classic and a landmark in the genre.
furthermore, slamming jerry for his acting is simply a show of ignorance on your part.
brutal.
Comment: I am black and I still think it's the funniest show ever!!! So I don't think race has anything to do with it. I can watch it over and over again. I still to this day use some Seinfeldisms in my daily conversations. I love that show!!!!
Comment: i still love it. i have several seasons on DVD. they always make me laugh.
Comment: I never thought it was funny. Mayber it's that I'm Black or maybe it's that the funniest character on the show is very unfunny next to her new charcter on her own show.
Comment: I never saw humor in it. The funniest person on the show (Julia) is even funnier on another show of her own.
Comment: Why do we still watch it? With the number of sitcoms dwindling in a reality show world...why not. Must see TV on NBC, just hasn't been the same since the show went off.....and isn't it sad that ER is still on? Let it go....enough is enough. I have made my Thursday night switch to ABC and CBS....and I can't think of a single sit com I watch anymore.
Comment: I watched the show from time to time, like whenever I wanted to see something shallow with a lot of canned laughter. I liked Kramer and George. The other regulars should have been flipping burgers. I really don't believe Seinfeld could have gotten anything more than a small occasiona;l bit if he wasn't Jewish. But, hey, he raked in $60-mil last year.
Comment: this article is like the show it drags on with nothing to say and is just as much a waste of time and resources.

Comment: You're clearly an idiot who lost a coin flip assigning him the "seinfeld doesn't hold up" side of this article. You have a job to keep. We understand.
Comment: Veteran television watchers! I knew Marc and David weren't smart or useful enough to have a real job or degree. I'm sure there are no shortages of veteran tv watchers for Newsweek to hire..
Comment: This article is ridiculous! Nothing makes me forget my real estate troubles, gas troubles and rising grocery cost troubles like the nightly repeats of Seinfeld at 11 PM and 11:30 PM each night. They're fun to watch before going to sleep and a calmer, sillier alternative to my evening news. Re-watching the half hour shows, you forget how brilliantly funny and weirdly interwoven they all were. We're lucky to have had the series and yes, it holds up after a decade.
Comment: Are Marc Peyser and David Noonan a couple? Not that there's anything wrong with that mind you.
Comment: I did not even finish reading this article. Next time, they should ask a true fan of show for an assessment. People like Marc and David are the people who still argue with me that Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends were better than Seinfeld. I don't remember any products, words, etc coming from either of those shows, just a few haircuts at best. I mean seriously, Eggo now sells "muffin tops!!" You don't get any more engrained in popular culture than that
Comment: "Seinfeld" was never my favorite show; sometimes it could be a little TOO silly (if not downright embarrassing at times). BUT, that was the free, creative approach, that also gave the show so many of its funniest moments!
Comment: This show is timeless. There is no other show that I can watch time and time again and still laugh like it's the first time I'm watching it. It was hailed as Classic because it is. Period...End of discussion.

Comment: Seinfeld IS a classic. I think the 1st article may be examining it a LITTLE too much.
It's a case of something being so big, that's it's inevitable that people will try to tear it down.
The fact is, as brilliant as The Mary Tyler Moore Show or All In The Family are, they are
also somewhat dated, but will always remain classics.

Comment: lol.....what the heck is this guy writing about? He is coming at this show like it's supposed to be held up to the Mona Lisa or something. If Seinfeld and the boys read this, they'll probably start laughing. It was a show about nothing! They weren't going for "Casablanca" for crying out loud.
As for his points...for every one like him, I'm sure there are many more who have the exact opposite feeling. I still watch the show nightly...sometimes 2 times a night. And I've been doing that since 1998. I cant think of another show that I've been able to watch so many times and for so long and still get a kick out of it.
I still think it's the best sitcom on TV....10 years later!
Comment: lol.....what the heck is this guy writing about? He is coming at this show like it's supposed to be held up to the Mona Lisa or something.

Comment: I totally disagree. I still watch several times a week in reruns and think it is better than most, if not all of what is on now.
Comment: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT,THIS SHOW IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE,WHICH I MUST SAY DRIVES MY WIFE INSANE.HOWEVER THE CAST THEY CHOSE WOULD OR COULD NOT WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE.I KEEP WAITING FOR THE REUNION SHOW WHICH IM SAD TO SAY WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAPPEN.ITS FUNNY HOW MANY YEARS IVE LAUGHED AT THE SAME SHOW
Comment: I knew this column was shaky from the start. It screams of an editor saying, "Noonan! Write something negative about Sienfeld!". He clearly doesn't understand the show. And then to say that Taxi is a classic comedy that holds up? OMG.
Comment: I consider Seinfeld to be one of the funniest shows to have ever been to television! I have seen each episode at least a dozen times, yet, like Mr. Noonan, I still watch, often twice a day. Sure, there are a few episodes that were clinkers, but overall, I think it maintained a quality and creative liveliness not seen in most television shows today. How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, 'Til Death...come on! Seinfeld forever!

Comment: Is this Peyser guy for real? What is he doing talking like this abourt our beloved Seinfeld? The fact that he has not watched an episode in 10 years shows that he was never a fan to begin with, so why does his opinion matters?
Newsweek: select your writers more carefully.
Seinfeld rules and is still funnier than most sitcoms ever were.
I am Brazilian, and Seinfeld is still very popular here, as it was 10 years ago.

Comment: Just goes to prove that ignorance and but kissing are way infront of a sence of humor and unparcial journalistic judgement at the modern news paper/web news organatation! Ignorance and jellousy are the only possible motives for such a waste of rashional peoples time and attention. I say stop reviewing entertainment and go back to waiting tables!

Comment: I started watching Seinfeld in reruns, never the "new shows." I stil love it. You know any good fortune will be met twiceover with bad just because these schmucks deserve it. Irreverence without profanity and implied nudity (the "nipple card," "I was in the pool!") - respected the viewer's ability to "fill in the blanks." In a world of endless bleeps and pixilation, I kinda miss that.
Comment: Seinfeld and The Simpsons. Need I say more?

Comment: I think Seinfeld was one of the best shows ever and still watch it every day.And still laugh like it was my first time seeing it.
Comment: OMG!! Seifeld the best show that ever existed. Everything in our daily life relates to Seinfeld and Seinfeld relates to everything in our daily life, that is why the nation loved it so much and that is why 10years later i get my fix of Seinfeld everyday.

Comment: Seinfeld is still funny, is still better, and is still more relevent than anything on tv right now and on tv in the past. The reason, it made fun of what we do everyday, whine about nothing, get bent out of shape over minutia. And its message; find some humour in all we do. No shmaltz. Name one other show that ended with the principals in jail and it was funny.
Comment: Seinfeld is one of THE best shows out there. I am an ever-loyal fan and do believe its genius lies in its sheer creativity...able to find humor in the ordinary...and amazingly insane, absurd characters. The show will live on forever!! :-)

Comment: I am an Advanced Placement Literature teacher, who consistently juxtapose the great works of literature with Seinfold episodes....soooo many moments in these works parallel the shows.....
Comment: Seinfeld is a milestone in sitcoms. It ranks up there with I Love Lucy. Shows change, times change, but Seinfeld was an innovation in sitcoms. The author said it himself. Seinfeld reruns are here to stay!
Comment: I watch the reruns once in a while and I still laugh the way I used to 10 years back. This was undoubtedly one of the greatest sitcoms. I used enjoy Frasier, anny and several others but not their reruns.
