Sorry Sonvolt - didnt meant to offend...all these comments are IMO only.  ;)
I never dug either of these shows for as long as I've lived... :-/

I have to agree with Sonvolt.  Seinfeld and Simpsons may not the the best shows in history, but they are hardly "s*&t" shows.  I have to admit, I am a huge Simpsons fan.  And regarding them re-running them every day, well, thats the whole concept of "re-run syndication".  If it weren't for "re-run syndication", all shows would just dissapear upon cancellation.  Now that would be "s*&tty"!

Don't worry about it...it didnt offend me..I was just suprised.

I guess they are played so much because they are so popular.

ok here i go - this took some thinking !
