Fans disagree sharply about S08E04, with the original poster finding the episode unfunny and characters increasingly annoying, while supporters defend the episode quality.
Didn't laugh once, oh well...George and Elaine were once obnoxious and funny, now they're just obnoxious. Jerry's becoming a real bore... even Kramer is suffering from a dearth of fresh material. Oh well, here's hoping for at least a few more worthwhile shows before the show finally wraps up...
Since you are so down on the new Seinfelds, why don't you (and other like-minded individuals) simply watch the reruns in the time being, and leave the rest of us alone?
Hey JoshyR, I agree with the guy who responded to you. Nobody wants to read your posts around here because this is where Seinfeld "fans" come to talk about how much we like the show. We don't need people like you ripping on it all the time. If the new episodes bother you so much--don't watch them!!!
I frequently encounter this asinine mentality in the sports newsgroups where your "fandom" is questioned because you *dare* to criticize a personnel decision or a coaching decision. If the Bulls traded Michael Jordan, would the "true Bulls fans" shrug it off and say "hey, I'm a fan"? After all, Jordan is the essence of the Bulls. Likewise, if the new episodes of Seinfeld lack the show's erstwhile ingenious writing and direction, wouldn't a true "fan" be up in arms? After all, the essence of the show is thereby lost.
Uh...I am a Seinfeld fan (huge)...thats why I'm distressed at the lack of quality, its almost not the same show anymore...as I said, we'll just have to agree to disagree: don't read my posts if you are offended by the likes of me "ripping it all the time." I haven't given up on the show by any means, still think Jerry may have a funny moment or two up his sleeve--but I haven't seen much of encouragement so far--and, if you read many other posts here, many agree...nothing should be beyond critisicm ya know, certainly not a tv sitcom of all things!
never meant to insinuate you couldn't post whatever you wanted to. I just think that you won't realize what you've got until it's gone. I mean, when Seinfeld is off the air, I personally will miss it, and even if I don't think every episode is as hysterical as my personal faves, I think Seinfeld is by far one of the best sitcoms in memory. So far, I think the new season is pretty good, and I especially liked 10/10's episode. <shrug> But then again, I wouldn't rank The Hamptons in my top 5, either. <G>
