Dad referred to him as "Ben Stiller's dad". Then he made the remark that he "had something to do with Seinfeld". Did not know if he was making a witty remark or trying to clue me in to who he was.

I watched a couple of episodes and then have watched a few episodes on television recently. I figure I have wasted $10 and about an hour or so watching Seinfeld. It seriously is not funny. Jerry Stiller is probably wasted on such a show.

Seinfeld is certainly known for dividing viewers.

You either love it or hate it.

Personally, I think it's one of the best comedy TV shows ever made.

Frasier, Cheers, I Love Lucy, and Mad About You (or Black Books) would round out my top five.

'Becker' is my favourite American sit com

I want to get the television series of "Lost" completed by the end of June. And then I might "winter is coming" rewatch "Game of Thrones" so that I can find out what happened in season 7 and 8. I have only just finished watching "Sons of Anarchy" last night. And I think I have "Bosch", "The Sopranos", and "The Wire" still to watch. But, I suppose I could watch "Seinfeld" after GoT by August.

"Seinfeld" will warm to me. I don't hate the show from what I see. But, Seinfeld looks unfunny for a show that relies heavily on a laugh track. Even Shaun Micallef's "Mad As Hell" doing a sarcastic laugh track in place of its audience was funnier for that 2 minute gag than what I have seen in just over an hour of Seinfeld. I won't judge until I finish the series.... one way or the other.

Yes, another classic.

Ted Danson has been in some great shows.
