Seinfeld

I just don't get it.  It's been 30 years since it aired, and you can still find repeats of Seinfeld being shown on one channel or another at any time of the day on American TV even now.  And it's not funny.  At all.  True, it might have aged a little bit.  But fundamentally I just don't think it's very good.  Yet Americans still love it, call it one of the best comedy shows ever made, and Jerry Seinfeld is a very popular (and very rich) guy.  Shows like Cheers, Frasier and Friends from the same period hold up and are genuinely enjoyable.  Seinfeld is not.  Its popularity is just one of those things I don't think I'll ever understand.
