I feel like a weiner for saying this but I haven't watched Seinfeld since I found out Jerry Seinfeld is a rabid Zionist. It's hard to explain.

It's probably because you're an anti-dentite.

Between Michael and Jerry as people… meh.

Two racists walk into an apartment.

What's the deal with that?

You haven't watched it in less than a year?
You're such a rebel.

I mean, I used to be a huge fan of the show and watched it almost every day.

I don't understand why people are so weirdly snarky on Lemmy

I mean the first episode ain’t all that great, I love the show and continually rewatch it but it really didn’t become ‘Seinfeld’ until like season 4

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Season 4!? That's crazy talk

The second season had The Chinese restaurant episode, and The jacket episode

The third season had The Parking Garage, and The Nose Job, all legendary episodes.

A lot of shows keep the pilot as the first episode, which I often skip in rewatches because pilots seldom feel like the later show. What's your fave Seinfeld episode? Mine might be either the Serenity Now one or the Festivus one (I guess I like Frank Costanza a lot :)

Community has the same feel.

Mhm. And looking at the cast in the Pilot versus 2nd episode (Spanish 101, where Señor Chang makes his debut), it makes me think the decision-makers decided they needed another exciting character after the pilot and added Chang then

For that kind of show a foil or antagonist is required.

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is such a good point that thinking about it now I'm surprised they didn't see that need prior to the pilot. As far as liking actors goes, I fell in love with Ken Jeong from that role

“Gaaaaaaaaay!”
