I can see that singles may be less inclined to like MAY as it is for an older market than seinfeld, but personally I don't understand this. I am young and single but I think MAY is still one of the best shows on TV with writing that comes close, though not to quite the same level, of seinfeld. I think the MAY dislike in the seinfeld bulletin may be a backlash to MAY as it is clearly targeted at the more upscale end of the seinfeld market - a.k.a. its not targeted at slugs like myself. At times it seems to come to close to seinfeld in its feel and with the mixing of characters (Kramer's appearance), the shows can get a little too similar. And here is where MAY gets hurt because, although it is an excellent show, it looks weak parallel to seinfeld.
