A handful of Sein fans that LOVE the new episodes are talking about, as for the rest of the country, no one even cares about it.

You have become a parody of yourself. Next time I'm down that way I'll swing by the bank and see if you really have a clown suit on..

Well, I've read a comment concrning the latest TV Guide reporting that "The Betrayal" had been the most watched episode of the season, that a survey was reporting "80% of the Americans wants Seinfeld to come back next season".

Also, I've talked to many of my friends in the Real Life and for everyone "The Betrayal" was extremly good and funny. True Seinfeld.

So peoples does talks about the new episodes.

You have to look forward, not live on the past.

Personnally, "The Contest" will ever be my all-time classic. He's from the past. But next Thursday, just 5 minutes before the show, L'll say to myself:

"What if this Episode was my next all-time favorite Seinfeld Episode ! "

It's the only attitude to take, In my opinion !

Well said Martin. Some people have already decided the new episode will suck long before it actually airs. I like your approach much better. "The episode I'm about to see may well be the best I've ever seen."

And you said 80% of America wants them back?    Better update my
"English to Drivel" dictionary.  "A handful of Sein fans" now means
"a few hundred million people".   Cool.

Nielsen says 38 million people watched that show, breaking the all-time Seinfeld audience record (set by "The Butter Shave" at the start of this season). That's a hell of a lot of nobodies...and you'd better believe most of 'em enjoyed it Bob Smith, afternoons WXXI-AM 1370, Rochester NY

Too bad that for the first time this season (I think), "Seinfeld" was
number 3 instead of number 2 in the Neilsen ratings (behind ER, of course
and that CBS movie, "What the Deaf Man Heard").
As Jerry might say, "Well, that's a shame."
