In France, we got it on Canal Jimmy in french ;-( or in original version with french subtitles ;-)

It's in CanalSatellite or on the Cable

Canal Jimmy? I wonder if it refers to itself in the 3rd person. :)

NO ! It's really a TV channel, it's mainly about the 70's and TV series such as Seinfeld, Friends (3rd seasons), Star Trek (Old and new generation), SpinCity, Dream On, Absolutely Fabulous, ...

It's a really cool TV Channel. (Also on ASTRA satellite)

[email] I wonder if this name refers to is face :)

I've been wondering about that. How can you put up with Seinfeld speaking French? I can't be half as funny. I saw a "French" Bond-movie once, I don't speak a word French (I wish I did) but I still found it hilarious, probably not the wanted effect. I've heard that in Poland they have the same male voice for all characters male or female when they dub an english show! Can anyone verify that?

Do you Europeans really like Seinfeld, or is the humor too American? Carl

All i can say about that is for FRANCE, as said in another msg, Seinfeld can only be seen on "Canal Jimmy", this channel is on the cable (so only in big city) and on Astra Satellite within the CanalSatellite offer.

A big part of the population can't see it so, it can't be as popular as in the States.

Here in Norway we really like it. The humor is great. BTW. There are two great Seinfeld websites located here aswell. The links are:

Http://seinfeld.sogaard.com/

and

Http://www.hig.no/~and_hils/seinfeld/

They contain loads of movie clips, pictures, sounds and everything else you would like to know.

I don't think I'd call the Seinfeld humour American, no offense, I have no wish to start an international flame wat, but I feel that most American comedies are more 'obvious' than Seinfeld. eg Friends, Cheers, Married with Children. Seinfeld is a lot more subtle and tends to go against the normal boundaries of TV, eg The Contest (I think it is, the one where they're all trying to stop masterbating) which if they'd adctually mentioned what the contest was about would not have got shown, as they just hinted at it, it was funnier. Had the same gag been done in that other highly regarded American show Beavis and Butthead (adn that was sarcasm by the way) it would not have been funny.

I now return you to your normal programming.

Well, it is American but I do like it...a lot! I wish we are shown more episodes of it over here in the UK.
