      Many people besides myself believed the show ended too soon. Nothing was the same after that show ended. It wasn't a stand-up routine where you leave them wanting more. It was a major sitcom of a group of people that we all loved and depended on. Sad.

    The Jason Alexander interview section is remarkable. He comes across as very informed and open about the show , his career, the request for $1million per show per featured supporting cast, the fact that it may have been detrimental to TV in the long run, and how Jerry came in at the end of the process and told NBC to pay them. He's an extremely likeable human, he's done is homework, and he was able to see the ramifications of the pay raises (good and bad) for the industry. He shows how good his acting was to play bumbling, impulsive, hot headed, and hilarious George.

    Jason's comments were extremely accurate, I lived in NYC for over 15 years so I saw first hand what this show was depicting week by week, I remember getting to work early so my co-workers and I could discuss the episode from the night before. It's funny how "Seinfeld" and later "Mad About You" depicted NYC life accurately (outdoor markets, subway system, street vendors etc.) but "Friends" was not handmade it looked and sounded like it was churned through a Network Studio mentality, it had 6 people and could not deliver a quarter of the humor and inventiveness Seinfeld could with ony 4 cast members.

    I’m rewatching Seinfeld on Netflix and laughing my ass off as the first time. And boy, as impressed as I am by Michael’s incredible physical comedy, I really think the comedic genius was Jason Alexander’s acting. I think none of the four were so willing to humiliate themselves for a good laugh like he did in portraying George. And when you see this interview you see what am thoughtful and intelligent man he is, millions of miles away from George. I read somewhere he was going to study classical acting in drama school. But a professor told him that with his looks and built, he’ll never play Hamlet, so it’s better if he studied comedy instead. And he did, and look how just incredibly brilliant his George turned out to be, like an evil clown Hamlet.

    The reason why 'Seinfeld' was so successful was the 'no hugging, no learning' mantra. The characters never learn from the mistakes they make. The mistakes themselves are character flaw driven. The characters are at once unlikely, but recognisably 'us'. Seinfeld IS the greatest sitcom ever written/performed/screened/remembered.

      I just turned 40 and have been watching Seinfeld since around 1997. The show has constantly been with me ever since. The episodes aired a week later than in the States (I was in northern Europe), but I always made sure to tune in. I also remember taping a few episodes on VHS 😄
      And I later bought all the Season boxes on DVD and continued watching the show through the years. When I moved away from home and left my parents I only had a bed and a tv for the first couple of weeks and the Seinfeld DVDs was what comforted me. that and Stallone's Rambo trilogy.
      But my mom was oblivious about the show, I don't think she even knew it existed. My dad didn't understand the show at all and changed the station right away if it was on. If he came home and saw me watching it he would always ask me 'how can you like this?" with a bewildered look on his face.
      The Seinfeld show is such a huge world of endless things to discover. The DVDs brought so many interesting Inside Looks and the episode commentaries were fascinating to me. And UA-cam has so many interesting videos, like videos with compilations of recycled actors that you see in the background as extras, the same people walking around in the background in scenes, some of them in 50+ episodes, things I never would have noticed on my own. Or videos editing together all 'Elaine's shoves', or all 'Kramer door scenes', or all the times we heard Larry behind the camera, or that video where someone compiled all the movie references that were on Seinfeld and placed them next to the episodes, all the hours of bloopers, the fact that so many in the Seinfeld cast was on various Star Trek shows (I think it's over thirty actors, maybe even more). I could go on and on..

      Amazing show, but much of the magic left with Larry. There was simply too much money at stake for the show to have ended after the peak (season 6). Nevertheless, still fair to say no other sitcom touches it.

      The show actually ran a PERFECT 'bell curve.
      The middle three years (seasons 4,5,6) were by FAR the peak of the show, pure Gold, straight A's. ALL of the BEST episodes came from those three years. The first 3 years were the build up (grade B) and the last three years were the tail, with (by Seinfeld standards) the worst three seasons. (grade C).

      Keep in mind, compared to most tv, a bad season of Sein is better than most.
      We both know taste is subjective, certainly with humor and there is no "answer", it is just opinion, and everyone has their own. I'm not surprised some ppl prefer the last three eps where the show gets a *little* more "slap-sticky". That has never been my preference.
      I think the majority opinion would lean towards my style of humor though, as the largest database of Sein opinion agrees and ranks *4 of the Top 5* in the juicy middle three seasons.
      The one exception is one you mentioned and is Awesome, The Soup Nazi.
      If you're interested, by voted IMDb public opinion, the top five episodes are:

The fact that Charlie Rose and the shows producers gave her so little time to talk and express her thoughts about the show is a grave irony (and injustice) given that he pressed her on her discontent with the sexism at SNL. He also asked if the genius of Elaine’s character should be credited to Jerry Seinfeld. As if she was just a mule. He didn’t ask the others that question. The sexism in this interview is undeniable.

There’s detail in the show that you really have to pay attention to that show you the extent of their creativity. Like in the episode when jerry is trying to buy the Saab from puddy, when jerry calls Elaine to patch things up with puddy if you look in the background you’ll see puddy just sitting there staring at nothin at all.

    5:53 Charlie Rose asks Jerry, "Tell me how you and Larry are different in terms of writing."
    Jerry's response gives us great insight into how they were able to make such an amazing show, "We would take different positions. Here's where we're the same. We both love to kill it. We will work any amount of hours.
    Our desire to avoid humiliation is so great, in both of us, we so desperately did not want to be embarrassed by each episode coming out this week. And as the show became more popular the danger of that became greater and greater. We kept saying, 'Oh my God this thing is getting popular now we have to maintain this ridiculous standard.'
    So it became more and more terrorizing, to run in front of this train... [Larry] has tremendous energy, tremendous fertility, comedic fertility. I mean, tons of ideas. There are people in this world that funny things happen to. He is one of them."
