Yes, we know you like it. Pity you’re so late to the party that this is the only place for you to gush about it. Never hearing about Seinfeld the show or the pedophile star again would be great.

Wtf.

[(Anonymous)]

What are you wittering on about?

For those wondering, Jerry Seinfeld had a teenaged high school student girlfriend when he was 39. It was legal because New York doesn’t have laws that protect minor children from adult sexual predators, just a minimum age of consent. She was chasing a celebrity and he got a kid as girlfriend so it was a win-win for them.

Thanks for this. Not a Seinfeld fan, but a sucker for factual accuracy.

I'm not a fan of Seinfeld by any means. But I do feel like dating a 17-year-old high-schooler a few weeks from her eighteenth birthday and a month out from her graduation in a state in which the age of consent is 17 may be slightly different from being a pedophile.

It's so weird to be aggressive over Seinfeld secrets.

I'd make some quippy remark quoting the show but I didn't watch it enough to think of anything appropriate for the situation.

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't know we were not supposed to like it? It was popular for a reason.

Yeah, I’ve actually been in places where I didn’t want to admit the opposite: I never found it funny. (Not just to avoid “yucking someone’s yum”, but to avoid having people try to explain to me that I just don’t understand how yummy it really is.)

There has been a lot of push back lately. Seems the popular thing is to hate on Seinfeld (the show) these days. I agree the man is an ass, but I still find the show funny.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it’s more likely that the audience who enjoyed it at the time aren’t active in fandom spaces in large numbers and modern fandom isn’t into the show.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I feel like the same thing happened with Friends a few years ago. A bunch of kids found the show and said they didn't know why it was so popular because everyone was so mean. I'm seeing the same criticism of Seinfeld, "everyone is so mean!" It is a very 90s type of humor (of which I enjoy).

[(Anonymous)]

DA - I see two different types of push back. There's the "this show is problematic" push back that's due to a combo of 90s humor, Seinfeld being an ass and Michael Richards' racist meltdown. And then there's the people who are put off by Jerry Seinfeld himself being a mediocre actor and the least interesting character in his own series. I liked the show when it aired, but if I was going to recommend it to someone, I'd probably tell them to treat it like an ensemble show and warn them ahead of time that Seinfeld's the weakest link.
