God Bless Netflix in you We Trust
The video quality for this show has not held up.
I’m watching this on Netflix with Dolby Vision, and it still looks a bit pixelated, unlike others like Cheers which are crystal clear.
It seems fun. I first time saw this show. I liked it. It is not like other sit-coms. It shows the place and scene then the platform where the guy speaks and does stand-up.
"Boy the Mets blew it tonight, huh?"
Let's face it, a date is a job interview that lasts all night! The only difference between a date and a job interview is that not many job interviews is there a chance you'll end up naked at the end of it.
Well, he should’ve seen the signals!!! Hahaha.
This show is so good over 500 people have voted on it over four months before it's air date. Sweet Christmas!

Seinfeld occupies a peculiar space in my cultural consciousness; it has nowhere near the ubiquity of, say, Friends where I live and I've never seen it shown on television here. It existed for me as something I saw referred to as a classic sitcom that I'd never actually been exposed to in any meaningful way (see also Cheers, Frasier, etc). When I saw that it was available to stream, I thought it would be a good idea to catch up on it and see what I've been missing out on.
The format differs from what I'm used to—I should mention here that I'm by no means a big sitcom fan—but that's fine. The main 'action' is interspersed with Jerry doing stand-up and riffing on what we've just seen. It's amusing enough, and I hope it won't become tiresome as the episodes go on. We're introduced to Jerry and George, two New Yorkers who seem to spend an awful lot of their time discussing their problems with dating. Jerry is in something of a pickle as a woman he met at a show has asked to stay with him while she's in New York. Cue the episode's central problem—are her intentions romantic, or is she merely using Jerry to find a cheap place to stay?
The back-and-forth between the two characters is amusing enough without ever really pushing through into laugh-out-loud funny. Both men are likeable, which helps, and the focus on the minutiae of daily life is a refreshing change. I like the show's mantra—'no hugging, no learning'—and it's an agreeable watch if not an outstanding one (yet). There's a dearth of women in the show with the exception of the waitress at the diner George and Jerry frequent, but my understanding is that this will be rectified after this episode. Kramer makes a brief appearance as Kessler and garnered a couple of laughs, especially when he pulled two slices of bread out of his pocket. There's a lot of potential here for a pilot, and I'm looking forward to the show getting into its stride more in the episodes to come.
