kernatch Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 People who find Friends funny usually dislike Seinfeld and vice versa, it's not the same fanbase Really? I like both. They're not that dissimilar. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/660910-which-major-90s-sitcom-was-best/page/4/#findComment-589716598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowless911 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Are you kidding ? Seinfeld hands down. I mean to create a comedy that was about everyday life situations and hilarious scenarios involving out-of-this-world characters [The Soup Nazi, Newman, etc. and of course the main characters. ] and above all doesn't get emotional and weepy at the end of every episode [i.e Friends on this list and most other sitcoms] is nothing short of Genius and Original. I don't hate Friends at all, when I was growing up that's what I always watched [like all people at my age were] and I didn't even know about Seinfeld until when I was like 16 or something, but as "revvo" puts, it takes a certain amount of appreciation to the writing of the show that I consider is very hard to top again and also, If you can accept the absurdity of the show :D, because that's one If not the most debatable point of the show between its lovers and haters. For me it all comes down to the replay value, for which Seinfeld is limitless, but Friends, It's all over for me now.

Angelic Marge Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is one that was only ever big in britain, but I loved Goodnight Sweetheart. A real bizarre premise, a bloke that could time travel back to wartime london by walking down an alley, but it was done really well and was genuinely very funny. It was so well acted by Nicholas Lyndhurst that they even managed to replace the 2 lead actresses (keeping the same roles) half way through its 6 season run and no one seemed to mind. Oh I never missed an episode of Goodnight Sweetheart, I much preferred the first 3 series with Dervla Kirwan and Michelle Holmes though, I'm not a big fan of Elizabeth Carling to be honest and I didn't like her in Casualty either.

Gabureiru Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I know that most if not all say that Seinfeld was the greatest show, I've tried to watch a full episode and everytime I do, I fall asleep. "For me" I just boring and stupid, can't find anything funny in it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/660910-which-major-90s-sitcom-was-best/page/4/#findComment-589733596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted September 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2008 The only one I watched was Friends, so that's the one I voted for. But I have heard many people mention Seinfeld, and would like to take a gander at it one day.

Yggdrasilly Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My vote goes to Friends. I would have put a vote in for Seinfeld too, but I didn't realize you could put multiple votes until AFTER I voted. When I went to NYC in 2001, I got a picture of myself in front of the Soup Nazi place. That was awesome.

shadowless911 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I hated that show, but I guess it's a matter of opinions. I hated 3rd Rock From The Sun with a PASSION! It's fine for me to accept stupid characters, but I don't like it when the character is about to say "Hey hey look I'm stupid, can you see ?!", It becomes pathetic for me at least.

kernatch Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I just watched Will and Grace for more than 5 minutes for the first time.
