I rarely post to this group but does anyone else believe that most of the newsmedia including Katie Couric on Dateline Tuesday night just doesn't get the show. I have heard all week and seen it printed a thousand times calling it the show about "nothing" when that was just one storyline.

Also on that Dateline she asked Jerry if they should include more minorities-why try to stir up controversy when the show is over already. I don't believe most people in the media watch the show they just have an idea that it is about "nothing" and that's all.

I agree. It's not a show about nothing. It's a show about everything. I picked up a copy of "Seinfeld Forever". A pretty crappy tribute magazine to the show if you ask me. They felt the need to rate every episode. Of course the most popular episodes got the best ratings. And the "not so memorable" according to the media got shitty ratings. The Kenny Rogers Roasters episode got 1 star out of 5! 1 freaking star. Of course "The contest" and the "Soup Nazi" episodes got 5 out of 5. The magazine based their ratings on how popular the episode was...not on how funny it was.
