Gord is a huge fan of Seinfeld.
He can recite the lines with the characters.
And we play a game when the show starts to see if he knows the plots of Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer within the first ten seconds. He's usually bang on!
There is an interesting article in today's Toronto Star about the show.
Groundbreaking sitcom has fallen so far off the cultural radar that it's luring viewers on a bus
It sounds like a scheme Kramer would dream up: a Seinfeld bus, filled with memorabilia from the show's groundbreaking nine-season run, making the rounds of college campuses, like Ken Kesey's drug bus of the '60s, determined to spread the message to a new generation.
And what is that message? "Watch the show, you idiots, because we're losing syndication revenues hand over fist!"
You can read the rest of the article here.
It was a fabulous show in its day.
But it's on about ten times a day now.
I must admit that I get tired of it. So when Gord's not home, I usually switch the channel and watch something else.
How about you?
This show is truly priceless. I find myself quoting them in moments of utter desperation. "Serenity Now!". I will watch an episode from time to time, and will admit to owning quite of few of the DVD collection.
ReplyDeletehave only watched a couple or so of episodes ... am not really a fan. lol. :)
ReplyDeleteI watched it back in the day, but not religiously. I can't say that I watch it at all now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I am a true Seinfeld devotee, but since I have committed most of the shows to memory, I find myself more often comparing real-life moments to episodes and annoying my friends with quotes than watching the show. Just this week I had the opportunity to say, "That's like a George Wallet", and "No Soup for You!", and "Mulva?!" I do watch the "The New Old Christine Show" so I get plenty of "elaine" time.
ReplyDeleteI've lost interest in watching the reruns.
