wa27 posted:Was/is Seinfeld very popular in the UK (or other countries, for that matter)? It always seemed like a very American show with humor that might be lost on international audiences, but I'm probably wrong. They tried exporting it to Germany, but I guess the quirky humor didn't translate well. So, guess who got the time slot? Hogan's Heroes Wikipedia posted:“In the mid 1990s, German channel Kabel 1 wound up pulling their sitcom Seinfeld off the air due to poor ratings and replaced it with Hogan’s Heroes. The humor of Seinfeld was lost on the German audience, partially due to the difficulty of translating Seinfeld’s American culture and phrases for a German audience. Hogan’s Heroes, by contrast, translated easily, despite the fact that the show’s humor was largely based on poking fun at Germany and its culture.”

Seinfelt posted:Jerry appears on a morning show where a famous puppet is also making an appearance. In the green room, he’s made extremely uneasy by the puppeteer, who will only speak through her puppet. Elaine wants only half a cup of coffee, but her local coffee shop refuses to sell her that. George wins $10,000 on a scratch-off ticket, but when he proclaims his good luck on the street, a homeless man snatches it from him. When he accuses the man of his crime, he is shamed for trying to bring down the feel-good story of the year. Newman teaches Kramer how to ride a bike. This has to be a cut episode outline, it's just too real.
