LOL, I never watch TV except for football and the occasional movie, but I almost always catch a Seinfeld show late at night when I go to bed. Even though I've seen every episode probably a half-dozen times, it's still the only thing on TV worth watching.

I am confused. I already said I do not watch it anymore because I remember what is going to happen after watching the episode for a few seconds. And it's not funny if I remember all the jokes.

Haha, George pretended to be handicapped at work.
Haha, Jerry could not date a woman because she had huge hands.
Haha, there is NOTHING to rent in Delbocavista!

Blah.

** Edited because I misspelled Delbocavista :D

Elaine breaks up with a guy for not putting an exclaimation point at the end of a phone message he took about someone having a baby.

just because you remember the jokes why does that make them no longer funny?

By definition: a joke is funny IF: (it presents humorous information) AND (you have heard it at most a couple of times). That's the whole idea behind humor. Not only does the same joke stop being funny, but even SIMILAR jokes stop being funny. You may smile to yourself once or twice, but you won't be LOLing.

The same applies to horror movies, for example. Will you be just as scared if you know there is NO ONE hiding in the bushes? :)

"Then I saw the reruns. And then again... And now, it's on again..."

So, reruns are only good till you've had your fill?

I've yet to see half the episodes. I may never watch the reruns, but some will. Honestly, this topic is one of the lamest.

and this has what to do with Jerry Seinfeld?


But anways.... Seinfeld is a great show... always enjoy watching the episodes, even if it is one that I've already seen before. Just wish I had more time for watching TV shows.

Yup, I still watch it. I watch it every night at 10:30 and 11:30.

I tune in hoping to see an episode I've never watched before, but I usually have and watch it anyway.

And now, it's on again. Come on, enough already! Is anyone still watching Seinfeld?..
Would you laugh if I told you the same joke over and over again? NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Now this has become a question: WHY are you watching it? How many times do you need to see an episode to be done with it? Even Seinfeld's girly voice now irritates me. And so does George's accent. Besides, you begin to realize how much depends on Kramer's stupidy and ability to fall. It's just so trivial and repetative now! They have brain-washed you, people.

P.S. Stop watching it and go play with my monkey instead :D

It obviously brings in some small ratings. I don't mind watching it. Better than this new reality TV junk.
