"Seinfeld" is one of those shows about which people are never willing to tell the truth. Yes, it was absolutely brilliant for its first SIX seasons on the air; after that, however, it went totally down the drain, with only one or two episodes along the way ("Soup Nazi," for instance) of any note. And don't even get me started on how GOD AWFUL the last episode was, without a doubt one of THE worst finishes in television history. But of course we're all supposed to worship "Seinfeld" as one of "the greatest sitcoms ever" and just ignore the fact that it completely imploded before it went off the air.

Seinfeld isn't that great of a show. I got into it from maybe season 3 thru 6. The beginning episodes are horrible, completely not funny at all. Back then NBC had more confidence in their shows and allowed it to remain on the air despite not so great ratings. It didn't take off until later, so they got lucky. The last 3 seasons are also terrible and not funny. I guess that's why the actors from the show suffered the "Seinfeld curse" after those 3 crappy seasons.

@LC


i am well aware of seinfeld not being successful the first few seasons thank you.

But if they can stick with joey as long as they did they can stick it out with seinfeld

"People can't DVR it." I think what he meant to say was, "I really hope people don't DVR it."

Just listen to this shumck, and you understand why NBC is in the possition that it is.

Seinfeld is as used up as "Mash" or Charlie Chaplin's aping.
Lets get something new!

pointless

@ Andrew

I really suggest u get out more. Sometimes people exaggerate

EVer heard the term " im so hungry i can eat a horse" ?

please next time u decide to respond to a comment. U ask people that go outside and interact with the general population before you try to be a smartass

I said it here before it is not the quality of TV shows but the short attention span of the audience and execs who run scared listening to internet fans.

Oh, man - where to begin.

YouTube was built on the back of Lazy Sunday? Really? Got news for him.

Seinfeld wouldn't make it today? Almost didn't make it then, either - got saved by someone who decided to give it a second chance instead of cancelling after a half-dozen eps.

No market for repeats? Psh. There are plenty of shows that've been revived or had their run lengthened due to the success of reruns.

Okay, so you're a cable conglomerate - start making better use of it. Run Chuck on Sci Fi to increase the viewer base, move Life to USA instead of cancelling it outright, etc.

They wanted a cut of Apple hardware as a condition of allowing their shows on iTunes? If I were Jobs, I'd have told them to take a flying leap too.

On the one hand, he says the nets need to catch up with technology, on the other he says he wants to keep Hulu an online experience (apparently, it doesn't play well with Boxee). Something doesn't scan between those two concepts.

Zucker talks a lot, but doesn't say much, and half of that is clueless.

i dont even have to watch this and i know this guy is an idiot. the greatest show on tv ever would not survive today? the show that still gets great ratings in reruns. i own the dvds and i still watch it on tv.


this guy should be executed for that stupid remark.
