Well, I am a bit older than you, but humor is humor and "Seinfeld" is genuinely funny. If it helps, I did not watch it when it originally aired, but now I watch it and enjoy it more than most stuff I see on TV.

Though I will add this, I tend to like the middle to later episodes. Maybe it is just because I came to know the characters, but I enjoy the early episodes less. They are funny, but because the characters are not what they became, the early episodes are not quite as funny in my view.

By the same token, I watch re-runs of "Hogan's Heroes" and I love that. In many ways, as that show deals in stereotypes - Germans and the like - it is even more cutting edge. Yet it works without being offensive. So you might want to give that show a try.

Anyhow, no need to feel old. when something works - it works. In an age when humor is being increasingly circumscribed by "political correctness" and all the rest, when you find a gem, relax and enjoy it. A good laugh is always the best.

lol you’re not old. I’m 45, soon to be 46. I’m not old either according to a lot of veterans that I work w. But yes I agree w you Seinfeld is one of the best shows. One of my favorites episodes is where Kramer test drives a car. The sales rep tells him looks like we need gas it’s on E. I also like the episode where Kramer is trying to breakup w the is girl, he ends up making out w a mannequin in his car to prove to the lady he’s a someone else. I don’t want many of today’s shows. I’ve heard people say they’re not like they used to be. Shows like 3s Company, The Drew Cary show, I love Lucy, Full House, Silver Spoons, The Wonder Years, etc. I love Married w Children. Not sure if you’d like it but that was one of my favorite shows.

Trust me on this. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is about the actual writer/creator of Seinfeld. (Larry David) You will love it. He's the star of the show.

Unfortunately it's one of the many shows I can't get into, but the clip with the ASSMAN license plate was funny.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I’ve never really seen it. I might of caught an episode here and there but I can’t even recall what happened.
I was actually just thinking of starting it cause my coworker was telling me how much she loved it

As for television there are so many wonderful shows & Seinfeld is one of them & it’s one of those shows that will always be remembered. Seinfeld aired from July 5, 1989 to May 14, 1998 & at that time my parents watched it & I didn’t get into until the early 2000’s. Seinfeld was a show basically about nothing & that is what made it so great.

MacGyver & Quantum Leap we’re my shows I’m talking about the original shows not the remake garbage.

Young lady, the classics will be classic for generations. The sad thing for you is that it is even funnier than you can appreciate because you are not old enough to get many of the contemporary cultural references. But, good comedy is still good comedy.
For instance, "Vile weed!" about broccoli is priceless no matter what year it is because it's so true.

There will never be another show like Seinfeld. So many funny characters like the Soup Nazi that have woven their way into our culture. I still say Festivus for the rest of us in dec 23rd.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I personally didn't find it funny, but it was fairly popular.
For that genre of tv show, f. r. i. e. n. d. s. was more my "cup of tea".
Also you not finding out about it until now makes you sound younger, not older, an older person would have likely known about it long before then.

strateguy632 · Answer

just kuz you like funny from a different generation doesn't mean you are old. funny is funny! seinfeld is. but friends wasn't... people laughed when they heard laughing despite no joke.

MysticDevice · Answer

You only just discovered Seinfeld?  NO SOUP FOR YOU! That joke will make sense in a few seasons. Keep watching, young grasshopper.

altaboy · Answer

Why would you feel old? I didn't feel old watching "My favourite Martian," or "The Andy Griffith Show," but I watched both as reruns as a kid and really enjoyed them.

Seinfeld was a great show. It's genuinely funny, at least to me.

Dongie · Answer

I know that. I had friends at work always talking about the show and if I'd seen last night's episode. Then I got into watching it about 2 years after their finale. I've seen every episode at least 3-4 times. You may enjoy Cheers as well. I place those two at first Cheers second Seinfeld.

Nothing wrong with that, that show was made in the golden age of TV before wokeness ruined everything.

Anonymous · Answer

there's so many timeless classics, I don't know anyone thinks old and young people can't relate outside of being stuck in their ways

Super old? The show dates from the 1990's. If you remember the 1990's you're  not  necessarily "old"!

elaphe · Answer

Actually, if you are too young to remember "Seinfeld" you should feel young.

Anonymous · Answer

Why would that make you feel old? Sounds like you’re saying only old people would watch that show. Anyways, it’s not like it’s something outlandish to like something from a different time period? What’s the big deal?
