My wife and I NEVER get tired of watching Seinfeld reruns. By far the funniest sitcom ever. I'd say my favorite episode has to be "The Contest" where they bet on who can go longest without pleasuring themselves. Also when Kramer gets the "Assman" vanity plate by mistake. George's parents completely trip me out. For any New Yorkers who had parents or grandparents of that generation, some of their characterizations are really spot on. It's like watching my grandparents and all of their weirdest friends rolled into one. Love it...

They took ordinary dull life events and turned them into something legendary. There is almost no insignificant moment in life that isn't revealed in a Seinfeld episode.
Magic Loogie. Black market shower heads. Junk mail. Larry David's Steinbrenner. Festivus. Stomach voice. Toothbrush in the toilet. Threesome. I'm an architect. You're a very bad man, Jerry!
I get down on my knees and thank God I have access to them and their dementia.
And I am saddened to think that it is gone and can never be again in the same way as Calvin and Hobbs and Bloom County.

Ive been paying for hulu now for about 8 months and never use it. Maybe it's time I either do, or get rid of it.
[edit] I missed that you mentioned Hulu in the OP.

I actually detested that show. There wasn't a single sympathetic character. I wanted to foot them all in the ass, every single one of them.
None of the characters are meant to be sympathetic. They all have great lives and never really have to deal with any serious conflict. But different strokes for different folks.
If you start at episode one, without knowing anything about the characters, one might wonder how the show survived the first season. Season one had some classic moments but it took a while for things to develop.
They have episodes parodying the creation of their own show and it's ridiculous premise.
Puddy. Puddy is sympathetic. You're going to hell.

Good question.... I used to enjoy Mad About You, Cramer... thing is, I don't really watch comedies or sitcoms much. MASH was good when Hawkeye wasn't getting too preachy.
I actually named my daughter Mulva.
Well, I wanted to, but my wife, the big party pooper, wouldn't let me.
I can only think that people who don't like Seinfeld just don't like sit-coms in general.
I just recently discovered Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Its pretty awesome as well.
I think Larry David is pretty much like that in real like.
I read one interview with Ted Danson, who is Larry's buddy, that he's terrified to go out to dinner with him.
Larry David is number one on my list of celebrities I would like to meet.

"We call it the Manzier.
No, the Bro."
I'm really picky about network TV, because I don't have a lot of time to waste on TV in general. I've seen every episode and own the box set.
Any show that coins a new widely-quoted buzz word or catchphrase every week must have had something going for it.
"I choose not to run!"

An amazing "Show About Nothing" that was always so entertaining. I can't imagine a "favorite" episode. The ones where they came to Hollywood were fun and of course the finale where where they all got their comeuppance was very clever.
The bloopers are probably the best for any sitcom. They're all on youtube.
