Seinfeld is one of the few shows that "earned" its spot.

It wasn't going to be picked up after the pilot aired, but one exec believed in it, so they got he equivalent of 3 1 hour "specials".

S1 did enough to get a low episode count S2 which again did well enough to get a full S3. (to S9)

S4 and "the contest" is the point at which it skyrocketed.

Imagine being any other network going up against NBC in the mid-90's. You were competing against Seinfeld+Friends+Fraiser+Mad about you on the same night :O

I'm really starting to dig Seinfeld now. George is hands down the best character. Here's one of his line:

Seinfeld and Fraiser are superb.
I keep repeating this so many times. :p
At times i really hate George and feel like punching him.[DOUBLEPOST=1394183666][/DOUBLEPOST]How is "The Blacklist". The plot sounds good to me and James Spader is doing great as usual.

The Blacklist is a standard thriller affair. Not great but I like the pacing - while there is a multi-arc story, smaller elements which some shows hold for their dear life get discarded in an episode.

Last episode of Arrow turned out to be a cracker. Finally Deathstroke made an appearance.

Can't believe I am reading this. Are you being sarcastic?

Jason Alexander is superbb as George, as is the character. The series really takes off between S3 and S7.

No doubt that the series is great. I have watched it 3 times over. I recommend it to everyone
But if you consider George as a real character in real world, I would really punch him. Its my opinion and need not be anyone else's.
