Imo, Seinfeld seasons 1 & 2 are the best. Here the characters are still searching for the right form, and it is not as unrealistic as the later seasons.

Jerry is attractive but he's not funny in the slightest. OK. I've watched maybe 3 episodes in full and 20 or so in pieces because I can't tolerate it nor the characters on it...save for the bald guy and the girl, Elaine? Anyway, the ONE episode I saw was actually funny. Don't remember which one that was, it could have been the one where Jerry and Elaine (?) went on a date (not with each other, with other people) and it was more or less funny throughout. I think that the short bald guy can be hilarious, his friend with the hair, ridiculous, and the girl accusingly-funny.
I don't recommend this show to anyone. If you enjoy comedies, it may take a while to get into this dry comedy which is as dry as Scrubs. I hate them both almost equally. But Seinfeld takes the cake as far as boring goes.
1 star.

Let me be the innocent child in "The Emperor's New Clothes," and proclaim:
Jerry Seinfeld is not funny!
Oh, I know what you're thinking: Here's a guy who thinks Seinfeld was unfunny, but his cast was hilarious.
No. At best the rest of the cast was mildly amusing (although Jason Alexander is a talented actor, he is not necessarily hilarious, hence the two stars).
Because, when it comes down to brass tacks, "Seinfeld" *was* a "show about nothing" -- in every sense of the word:
The contrived semi-plots, with choppy one-liner segments.
The cloying, annoying, ejaculatory bass riffs between shots.
Jerry Seinfeld posing as this hipster: Yeah, right, a hipster with a ridiculous bushy mullet. At best, Seinfeld was an Upper West Side Jewish version of Jeff Foxworthy. You want to know why people think Jewish men are smug, metrosexual wimpish know-it-alls? I submit Jerry Seinfeld as "Exhibit A." If a WASP played a Jew such as Seinfeld, he'd be accused of bigoted racial slurs against the Jewish people. Grating, like fingernails down a chalkboard.
Oh, and speaking of freakish hair-do's: Is there anyone alive who thinks that Michael Richards as Kramer would even inspire a single chuckle if shorn of that ridiculous Brillo-pad hair? Within three episodes, he'd have been out of the door, after having been reduced to haranguing black hecklers in the studio audience: He's a [n-word]! He's a [n-word]!
Pathetic.
And, "Elaine"?
Puleeze! She makes Gwyneth Paltrow look like Kate Winslet, she is so flat.
Yawn.
