to all those who still believe that seinfeld is all "no hugs; no lessons:"
i haven't seen too many hugs on the show, but here are some of the lessons i learned by watching the show: - always double-check your photograph in personalized christmas cards - smell the valet before giving him the keys - install plexiglass in auditorium style operating rooms - when trying to impress your boss, never stare at his daughter's cleavage - sometimes trivial pursuit answers have typos - keep on eye on your raisons at all times
any more???
and i think there were plenty of "hugs and lessons" type sitcoms that were long-time #1 smash hits (even today).
