You haven't heard of Seinfeld???

Last week, in my marketing research class, the prof was giving us an experiment comparing two sit-com's. He said, "Let's compare say, Cheers and Night Court." Then he realized that those shows are not on any more, so he asked for the class to suggest two shows. Someone suggested Seinfeld and some other show. Prof says, what is Seinfeld? What is Seinfeld!!! The student said that it was a show about nothing. Most of the class burst into laughter. So, I figured, that the prof just wasn't into current sit-com's. He admitted to only watching old Cary Grant and Humphery Bogart movies.

Then, a few days later, I was telling this girl that I had been watching Seinfeld the night before. She said, "What is Seinfeld?" I almost fell over in amazement. I figured that everyone in the so called X-generation would know what Seinfeld is, even if they didn't watch it. Wrong!

THEN, yesterday, our english class was writing claim letters in the computer lab. I wrote one addressed to George Costanza at Vandaleay Industries. It was full of stuff from Seinfeld. The prof was pulling up selected letters for the whole class to critique. She suggests Vandalay Industries. I thought that this would be funny. NOPE! Not a single giggle, chuckle, or even snicker was heard as the class read my letter. Could it be -a class full of people who are not familiar with Seifeld?! I guess so. What the Hell is going on here!?!?

Does this all seem reasonable?

Seinfeld doesn't exist.

Neither does this discussion group.

You're imagining it all.....

PS - Maybe you can bring black and white cookies to your next class

Do you believe in blowing everything completely out of proportion? That was a stupid thing to say.

	Uhhh maybe some people have a life...
	Look.  Seinfeld is a half decade old show.
	NYC got sick of it & fed it out the rest of the country.
	Most people have forgotten it.  It is forgetable.

	Now people at places like iastate (cows & nasa, & nuthin else)
	are wastin' their lives on it.

After half a decade, more people should at least be aware of it. How long did Sullivan run? It's still talked about, come'on, even I know about it, and I wasn't even around to watch it!

Actually, the series began airing regularly only in April of 1991. Before that, only a handful of episodes had aired (late '90), and only sporadically.

I would prefer my generation to be called the MTV generation, cause Generation X sounds like we couldn't come up with a name for it... sort of like Planet X from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

And it is sort of amazing how many people only watch Home Improvement! It's like their television is set only for ABC and nothing else! If you are alive, you must have at least seen an ad for Seinfeld.

Sometimes I'm embarrsed to admit that I'm as big a Seinfeld fan as I really am. Since alot of people don't know what it, it's useless to say that it is about nothing cause that's an inside joke (although it is more true than not)

Me:  Hello, my name is Andy and I've been watching Seinfeld for *gulp*
     five years now.
Support Group: Hi, Andy.
Me:  It's an addiction. I, I can't stop. I tape every episode and if I forget
     to set the VCR, I become suicidal.
Man in Group: Let's rise up and force everyone to watch Seinfeld 24 hours a
day until WE've had enough, if that's possible!
Support Group: YEAH!

<chairs are knocked over and three people get trampled when the entire group goes berrzek and attempts to take over the world.>

WE ARE NOT FANS! WE ARE DIE-HARDS!
