Jake...if you haven't seen it (I may be missing some sarcasm) it is worth checking out with fresh eyes and ears. I rack them up lately as it is funny, but it also reminds me of late grandmother's infectious laugh. She loved the show and would crack up through the whole thing. She's been gone some time now, and I find it cathartically uplifting.

Yes...it does have a laugh-track, but at least most of it is genuine as it was filmed in front of a live audience for he majority of the scenes. It's one of the few laugh tracks I can do. Maybe All in the Family, Taxi, The Odd Couple...but not many others.

I just can't imagine what is like to be a kid now. I don't have any children, am not around them often, and being a 70s/80s kid makes me feel increasingly ancient.

Mr. Pumpy:

I just read the thread...Seinfeld is quite a polarizing topic! I don't care...I don't expect everyone to like a thing I like. I will say though, one of the things I like about it (and there are a number of things I don't like) is the use of vocabulary and the playing with the English language. I think it went above where a lot of prime time shows go, in that regard. Anyhow...to each their own. I wasn't into it back and the day, but have found myself letting it rip, one after another, lately while I fall asleep or clean or whatever, because it reminds me of my dead granny's laugh. In doing so I have come to appreciate its conceptual continuity...AND...Wayne Knight!!! Ultra...AMIWRONG?!

We used to watch EIE with some regularity when I was a sprout. Didn't the youngest kid burn down the family house in an episode, with a soldering iron or something? for some reason I swear that was something that happened.
  11:40pm
JakeGould:

People nowadays barely have one kid. But the show was about a newspaper reporter who had 8 kids, a house big enough for all and when he was widowed, he didn’t downgrade his house. Now “Eight is Enough” would be about 8 roommates in a crappy house barely able to pay rent due to gig economy jobs.
