since it went off the air 12 years ago. The show is owned by Time Warner.

Both Jerry and Larry David make $80 million a year off of the reruns.

Alexander, Richards, and Louis-Dreyfus earn revenues on DVD sales but not on the reruns.

I still watch them on occasions on TBS at 7:00 and 7:30 and then Seinfelf oftens puts me to sleep when it's on at 11:35 at night.

Obviously it was one of the greatest shows of all time.

I actually really enjoy Curb, so Larry David is still getting my support.

Show still holds water for the most part...the clothing is funny, but other than that, pretty timeless.

A few christmases ago my Sister and I went in on a gift for my dad and it was the entire series of Seinfeld. Cost us close to $250 for all of it. I tried to watch the first season and its just not my thing. The humor to me seems very dry.

The first season is the worst.

So, this begs the question:

WHY THE FUCK DID HE NEED TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE MARRIAGE REF?!

I know a lot of people like that, and I am about 50-50. But Curb has what Seinfeld cant and that is realistic language. The show is also not in the sitcom fashion of 3 cameras and a studio audience. So they can have more realistic and complete sets. The show itself for that reason is better, but Seinfeld was so genius that its still up there for me.

Best show and best comedy ever written.

Jerry's "I'm Telling You for the Last Time" live Broadway performance is an absolute masterpiece. The Mozart of the Laugh. Every funny situation I have ever encountered in life can be directly related to something in a Seinfeld episode, even today. That's the definition of timeless.
