    My parents used to talk about how good it was, but I was never into it. I know he's funny though.

    I saw most of them far more recently than the original air time. I was 10 years old in 1992. Didn't become a Seinfeld fan for almost a decade later. Soo... it makes me feel far less old than you :p

    I think in the end though Georges parents were the funniest, the main four were a bit too narcissistic

    Not Kramer. Not as much as the other three at least.

    stienfield i've heard of, but well sorry, the few times i tried to watch it, kinda boring. sorry.
    also 25 years, hmm, i think its been almost that long since i watched much television. not that i watched much even then.
    deadpool is semi-amusing as a concept if i understand it right.
    the unwilling, and slightly insane because of it, immortal who will do anything to kill himself, and of course, nothing ever can.

    in 92 i was sleeping under a model railroad layout i was building in a museum.
    the museum did have cable in an office/storeroom downstairs.
    there was something called mind extension university i used to watch on it,
    along with the bbc world news, along with benny hill, some other britcoms, like are you being served, and of course star trek and dr who reruns.
    never heard of what this title "the contest" refers to though.

    ^ sure it does. check your favorite hipforums thread after your next hat drop and see if it's still on topic.

    Kramer and George were the funniest. Kramer was quirky. George was neurotic. Jerry was kind of the straight guy in the middle of it all.

    Best sitcom ever, fo sho!

    twenty five years is too recent for me to remember.

    i was like "contest? what contest?" then an obscure episode of something on tv, that, i guess seemed harmless enough, but i never really could figure out why it was there.
