sponge worthy
a show about nothing
no soup for you
master of your domain
shrinkage
spare one square
poofy shirts
manzear
close talker
And, my all time favorite: "they are real........and they are SPECTACULAR"
Don't forget "bad naked", "low talker" and "spongeworthy".
The thing is, I hardly even ever watched the show, but I still retain so many little pieces of it which are imbeded into my consciousness.
I love the show motto, too...No hugging, no learning.

No...I never found Seinfeld funny. The characters were all so loathsome, I couldn't watch for more than a couple of minutes.

I'm in the minority on a lot of things, including high income and intelligence...that doesn't bother me much.

I agree tried to watch several episodes but never did understand why people thought it was funny. Even watched the series finally. It was aweful.

How can a show about nothing be funny? I have to laugh at something. Sorry, hated the show.

Best show ever IMO.

Have the entire series on DVD and still watch syndication from time to time.

The "jimmy" and "t-bone" episodes are a few of my favorites...

Well, it is a fictional tv show that was written and produced to entertain the viewers.

Did it succeed? Heck yeah!
Is for everyone? Heck no!

You could start an equally thrilling thread such as which is the better color; yellow or green?

Seinfeld ended up being "must see tv" for me because it was so ridiculous it was funny! It was stupid and so much about "nothing" that it was funny. Just about everyone has had those "nothing" moments in life that become a big deal and Seinfeld portrayed them beautifully.
