Fans discuss the new Seinfeld postage stamp, with mixed reactions to its design of the apartment doorway and kitchen without actors.

Well, I'm kinda underwhelmed at the stamp. It's just a drawing of the doorway & kitchen area, and not a great drawing at that. The other stamps look like paintings. Don't spoze they could put any of the actors in it either. How about the sofa or more of the kitchen? The star trek stamp had a fine drawing of the Enterprise. What'd they do for "All in the Family?"
I think the stamp should have had something funny in it, a visual joke of some kind.
Look at it here at the usps site:

Thanks for the link to see the stamp.
I LIKE IT. The fact that there are no actors in it adds to the emotional content of the image. The empty apartment and the open door signify the place where all the interaction took place - we are watching the scene in expectation of Kramer's entrace, George's buz up or Elaine's pop-in. Half the fridge, the empty stool all pique our interest without limiting our thoughts to one scene or a picture of an actor who we will soon see in other roles. This is Timeless. Terrific. Wanna trade for a red maple leaf Stamp?
I don't like it. The emptiness of the apartment reminds me that they're probably still in jail! There's a bleakness in it that kind of says they're all gone, (which they are, but just as in a funeral, I prefer to remember the good things!)
The door's already open, so we can't really expect Kramer to burst in. The scene is as if they all had to leave in a hurry, like a fire drill. More importantly, there's nothing whatsoever funny in the stamp! The fridge, the stool, the door, not funny. Not even an inside joke, anywhere! That's the cardinal sin of the stamp.

I can see it. If you can't get it to open on the seintimes web page, try USPS web site, I'm sure they have it there to see. Re: the stamp..I think it's cool. It kind of speaks for what all us Seinfeld fans have felt since it ended... emptiness.
