DIE ACTOR DIE

Two Newsweek writers duke it out!

Money shot (con):

But, like a cheap sweater, or a cheap puffy shirt, the “Seinfeld” humor wears thin fast. It’s hard to concoct four storylines an episode that are simultaneously ordinary and over the top. After all these years, the show’s meticulous architecture creaks so loudly, it drowns out the comedy.

Money shot (pro):

Let me say it plain—no sitcom in the history of television has featured a more talented or memorable bunch of second, third and fourth bananas than “Seinfeld.” Period.

Personally, I still laugh very hard at the show AND find it very dated and thin at times.  Like most 180 episode-long things, it has its ups and its downs.
