Note: We are only rating 'Seinfeld', not the other shows. Please do not comment on the other shows, since this is my poll. Thank you. ;)

IndyGent, I am just going to comment on the poll itself...I'd have chosen to put Seinfeld up there WITH M*A*S*H & Cheers...but it's not an option...it's either not quite with them or it's above them in being the king of all.... :-\\

I admire your honesty, too, RnRF, so I just changed Option Two and Option Three. I hope that helps a little. ;)

With "I Love Lucy" & "Honeymooners"


But I consider "Seinfeld" very funny. (from watching a couple episodes)

Along with "WKRP in Cincinnati","MASH", "Mary Tyler Moore", the early "SNL", and "Cheers", "Seinfeld" is one of the best.

(I love Jerry, Georgie Boy, The K-Man, Elanie, Newman, J.Peterman, Frank & Estelle Costanza and the Soup Nazi...)

Very funny, in the league with 'MASH' or 'Cheers'

That left me in a quandry, Indy, because I loved MASH and detested Cheers  :o  So I put it up there with MASH  ;)

I agree with Fussy in comparing M*A*S*H with the show Cheers.  Cheers always seemed to me to be gratuitously sleazy and lowest-common-denominator.  M*A*S*H usually had an underlying moral to the story.  :)

There is no way that Cheers could have pulled off the Seinfeld "The Contest" episode without it just being sleazy and cheesy.  But I can easily see the cast of M*A*S*H doing it with equal aplomb and subtlety to the Seinfeld masterpiece. ;D

Now why can't we get some more Aussie programming here in the states?  I'm getting kind of tired of the Crocodile Guy.  :-\\

Ah !  Thank you very much !  :)

Re Croc Guy !  I have been trying to tell you all since day 1  ;)

Errrr, I am not sure you want too much of our programming, Aus has never produced a decent sitcom, ever !  :(  Other shows yeah, sitcoms, well, it just doesn't seem to work  :(

I was basing this poll on what other TV critic said in articles or polls. Not everyone Most of us will disagree with them. ;)

...but not until the second season, when he went from doofus (not good) to hipster-doofus (the K-Man we love).  ;D

I'm glad to see Michael Richards finally find success. I remember seeing him pop-up in many pre-Seinfeld sitcoms (the ones after that Canadian SNL show) that were awful and failed. He was bad in them too.

Maybe if we keep trying we sometimes find success ? (then maybe not)  ???
