Critics, per Wikipedia

Elizabeth Magnotta and Alexandra Strohl analyze the success of Seinfeld with recourse to the incongruity theory of humor: "The Incongruity Theory claims that humor is created out of a violation of an expectation. For humor to result from this unexpected result, the event must have an appropriate emotional climate, comprised of the setting, characters, prior discourse, relationships of the characters, and the topic." Specifically, Magnotta and Strohl focus on "The Marine Biologist", where George is embroiled in yet another lie, and on "The Red Dot", where George tries to save a few dollars at Elaine's expense by giving her a marked-down cashmere sweater.

    The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

    Right now Jerry Seinfeld is on a podcast somewhere wheezily whining "you could never make Seinfeld today! we'd be canceled!" all while It's Always Sunny, a show that was and is 10x "edgier" or "un-PC" or whatever you want to say, quietly enters its 21st year on television

    There was a NYC “blackout” storyline that played across Mad About You, Friends, and a short-lived Dabney Coleman show called Madman of The People. The only other sitcom on NBC that night was Seinfeld which didn’t do the blackout story, making Seinfeld Sony Spider-Man?

    Rob Reiner's company Castlerock was one of the production companies behind Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld: "Our show would have never happened without him. He saw something no one else could. When nobody at the network liked the early episodes, he saved us from cancellation."

    Jerry Seinfeld never actually said "What's the deal with airline food" in his stand-up or on the show. But he did basically say "It's fine for a nearly 40-year-old man to date a 17-year-old." Facts are fun.

    it's really a shame that American animators stopped blatantly ripping off live action sitcoms because it would be incredible if by 2040 Seinfeld was forgotten but a Hanna Barbera show where they were all cartoon cats was a staple of childhood.
