Seinfeld. I really rely on this show for a regular laugh. Great stuff.

This season has been terrific. It's as if they rediscovered the fun in their work. Warning: I'm a very irregular visitor here, but I received an e-mail request to post a test posting here. I hope this is okay, and I really really do enjoy Seinfeld. My favorite episode? Maybe replacing the marbled rye in Susan's parents' place Yours?

The one in the deli where the deli owner is picky about who he serves.

I was addicted to "Seinfeld" and never missed a single episode (I taped if I couldn't be there). I liked it not because it's a show about nothing, but a show that exaggerates things that really happen (or could happen). For instance, the long wait at the restaurant...the friends that hound you about seeing their new baby...the urge to tell a limo chauffeur at an airport that you are their party. I used to LOL (I am really getting hip here) at those episodes, and then suddenly they ran out of things tha might happen and relied on things that would NEVER happen, like other sit-coms. I couldn't bring myself to stop watching it, but it got to the point that I dreaded 9:00 on Thursday. So a few weeks ago I watched the opening show for the season for "closure" and when it was over I turned it off having made the decision to never turn it on again (except a half hour later for ER). So, I'm in Seinfeld recovery and there is no relapse in sight.

Is there a 12 step program that you're in?
~stacey #5
good luck with the rehab! I had to get rid of my tv to stop turning it on!
~autumn #6
Nope, no 12-step program--just pure willpower! But I could never get rid of my TV; I'm still addicted to too many other shows. Moderation in all things is good.

I just turned my tv in to a web browser with webtv. Now I can surf around and email from my living room couch. So do you really think Seinfeld has run out of situations?
~stacey #8
Paul, you are too much!
~terry #9
We won't run out of situations, will we, Stace?
~autumn #10
I haven't even figured out how to de-program my VCR so it will stopping coming on every night at 11:00! I suspect there's only one kind of mouse I'll even see in my living room.
~stacey #11
(LOL)
~terry #12
Remind Seinfelds girlfriend in the restaurant with the bad laugh. That was Jessica Lundy and she's so *hot*, I love women who are smart, funny and sexy. And her mugs are so great.
~stacey #13
mugs??
~terry #14
Do I really have to go into explicit detail?
~legaffe #15
Let him off the hook.
~stacey #16
I like to imagine Paul turning red and sweating around his t-shirt collar. It soothes the sadist in me!! *evil laugh*
~legaffe #17
Easy Stacey.
~stacey #18
thanks for talking down my dark side, george!

Hey, Thursday, night. The Last Seinfeld. Anyone tuning in? That's as in, tomorrow night.
~autumn #20
I've been tuned out to it for so long, it'll be weird to watch it again. But I can't resist seeing how they tie everything up after all...but I'm skipping the pre-game show at 8:00.
~terry #21
What about the postgame show?
~autumn #22
Ah, the Tonight SHow? Hmm...we'll have to see who the guest is on "Loveline" in order to make that decision! How 'bout you? Gonna watch ER's season ender too?
~NICK #23
Got some mixed feelings about the Seinfeld Final Episode. I enjoyed the courtroom scenes but the way it ended in the jailcell was kind of dull. Overall I give it an 8.
~terry #24
Whew! Nick you found the caps lock key. Good thing. It was mixed. The retrospective was good, but too bad they didn't make it to Paris and there wasn't any love scene between Seinfeld and Elaine.
~stacey #25
wow. guess I really missed something big, eh?
~terry #26
It will be in re-runs on syndication, Stace. Trust me.
~autumn #27
Actually, they're airing it again Wednesday night. It's not too late, Stacey! Get yourself to the nearest bar! LOL! I give it a 6, and that's only because I liked the retrospective and appreciate all the work that went into its compilation. I don't know if I even cracked a smile for the rest of it. Yada, yada, yada. I'm ready for the next hot show to come along.
~terry #28
What show will go in Seinfeld's time slot now?
~NICK #29
Whatever show replaces Seinfeld will probably be "nothing" like it. Especially if its a show about "something".
~autumn #30
I just read that "Frasier" will get the coveted 9:00 must-see-TV spot. Probably appeals to the same audience.
