To the point that one of my first emails was a nasty letter to Nick at Nite telling them why it shouldn't be on the air. Honestly have no idea where it came from.

Lucy is timeless but Seinfeld will have the benefit of immediate heavy syndication and a much bigger presence of tv in peoples' lives in general.

I love Lucy had more viewers than Sienfeld ever did, and Ball and Arnez were TV Royalty. Lucy has also been in continuous syndication for nearly 50 years. That we're even talking about a show that went off the air 55 years ago is remarkable. No other show from the era stands close. Bobfromsales fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Nov 18, 2010 |

I'm honestly shocked, my parents and grandparents are the only people I know who have ever talked about lucy. My mother knows every episode the way I know every seinfeld ep. Vegavetavitamin and the conveyor belt are cultural staples the way everybody has heard "say hello to my big friend" but haven't all necessarily seen scarface Yeah, Randy is like the fred of southpark. And this thread shouldn't derail into lucy- maybe that should have its own TV IV thread if it's so drat timeless!!! anyway to bring things back to seinfeld: "Checkmate." "..............I don't think we should see eachother anymore." bruckner fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Nov 19, 2010 |

I Love Lucy and Seinfeld have been my top two favorite shows ever since I first saw them. I watched Nick at Nite all through elementary school and into high school, and I Love Lucy was my favorite by far. However, earlier in the day I tended to watch kids shows. I remember that once a week though, I could hear my father laughing hysterically while he was watching TV in another room. At some point in the mid 90's, I got curious enough to find out what exactly he was watching. Turned out to be Seinfeld. I thought it was hilarious and started watching it with him from that point on.

Say hello to my big friend! This is the best blooper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19hZsDRnkPM&t=6m34s It goes on for like 3 minutes and by the end everyone is cracked up. It also comes from one of my favorite episodes, The Susie. The part at 7:40 where Jerry starts to say his line and then just looks at Julia and preemptively stars laughing is awesome, as is the weird look Mike does at 9:31.

Just watched The Little Jerry for the first time in a while, the best part about Seinfeld is that even the throwaway lines are great. "Jerry is it alright if I put some stuff in your fridge?" "Yeah, sure. You don't even have a fridge do you" "Well, not here.."

I don't think you respect the mentor/protege relationship http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laKprX-HP94&feature=related I wondered recently what it would be like if there were a nickelodean cartoon called "seinfeld: the elementary school years." Little George arguing with the lunch lady about how many tator tots he got or something.

The concept behind Seinfeld isn't "nothing" it's specific food items. Like 9/10ths of the episodes have plots that rely entirely on food or drink.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is pretty much Seinfeld if George was a gazillionaire, yet still cared about getting stuck with the bill at dinner.

It's such a "George" thing that Larry actually gets offended if somebody buys him dinner when he feels like it is supposed to be his turn. That episode where he gets into a raging argument with Rosie O'Donnell because she paid for lunch is fantastic (it's also the episode where he hides on the stairs from two crippled women, the second of whom he picked up on the street because he couldn't remember where the first lived and figured one crippled woman was as good an any other).

Also the time he refuses to leave 2 tips (one for the waiter, the other for the head waiter or "Captain") which is actually pretty reasonable but of course backfires HORRIBLY and he tries desperately to put all the blame on the waiter for pocketing the entire tip and not splitting it.

I dunno, the worst thing is the tip jar where you're trying to show the staff that you appreciate their service and the food... and they turn away as you tip them. I totally feel for George on that issue because it isn't altruism, all I want is a smile and some recognition as a valued customer and BAM, suddenly you get banned from the establishment.
