Are you guys going to start holding Whine-feld Conventions like the Trekkies? (Not that there's anything WRONG with that) Everybody could dress up as their favorite yuppie and hang out being hip, trendy and witty. You could have forums on which 2 cereals complement each other the best. BWAHAHAHAHA! Blue Skies, Black Death rick
Whine-Feld Trekkies
Fans debate whether Seinfeld is a yuppie show and joke about conventions like Star Trek fans have, with disagreement over the show's demographic appeal and definition of yuppie.
If you've never watched the show and only came to this newsgroup afterthe announcement was made tha tit was over (this, you stated in a few other posts on this newsgroups under different threads) How do you know the catch phrase, "Not that there's anything WRONG with that?'" just curious, "Rick"..... BTW-I would hardly call "Seinfeld" a yuppie show. [email] "Hindsight is 20/20 vision" "It's all fun and games 'till someone gets and eye poked out, then it is fun and games with one eye ;)"
As I stated in another reply, the so-called "catch phrase" was mentioned in the DMN article.....NOT original to the Whine-feld show, BTW. A yuppie is someone shallow and self-centered. DEFINITELY a yuppie show. 8-)

According to my dictionary, a yuppie is "a young college educated adult who is employed in a well paying profession and who lives and work in or near a large city" Derived from "Young Urban Professional, Y-U-P. Under that definition, how can Seinfeld be considered a yuppie AND boomer show, much less one or the other? Please show me a dictionary that says a yuppie is either shallow OR self-centered.
