"They're real and they're spectacular...."

Giddy up!
Season 4 of "Seinfeld" was released in a 4-disc DVD set starting today. This season contains episodes like "The Junior Mint", "The Virgin", "The Bubble Boy" and "The Smelly Car," where a valet infests Jerry's car with his horrible B.O. Some of the episodes on this season are classic Seinfeld comedy. I have to go out and get this set- I didn't know there were so many shows (24) in just this one season! I got the first three seasons on DVD from my sister for Christmas last year. It's great to have when there's nothing on t.v. or when you are fiending to watch it.

Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm is about as close to Seinfeldian humor as you can get on t.v. these days but it's not exactly the same. When I watch Seinfeld now I can see certain parts that are clearly Larry David's mind at work. I do like watching Curb, as some people call it, even though I suck and don't have HBO.

You know one show I never got into was Everybody Loves Raymond. All the ads made it sound like a ton of people watched it but no one I knew liked it at all. He won a bunch of awards though so somebody must have been watching. I felt kinda the same way about The Drew Carey Show. I gave it a chance but I just didn't find it funny. I liked Friends for the first few seasons but it lost its comedic edge quickly and rested on its laurels for too long after that.

There is a lack of watchable sitcoms these days because writing good comedy isn't easy. Or there could be great writers but the acting isn't there. The antics of Kramer, the idiosyncracies of Elaine and the dead-pan comedy of George couldn't be replicated by any other combination of actors. The personalities of the actors on Seinfeld is what made the show more funny even beyond the script. Hopefully there will be some new show that combines good writing and good acting and doesn't get overhyped and overcommercialized in the process.

Seinfeld is my favorite show of all times! I know every episode and quote it all the time when real-life situations come up that remind me of an episode (which is all the time). I should get the DVDs.
I have not found a show that is funny like Seinfeld. I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm for awhile. It was funny, but Larry David got on my nerves after awhile. He's so annoying! I never liked Everybody Loves Raymond or the Drew Carrey Show. Who cares? I'm psyched that they brought Family Guy back. That's pretty hilarious.
B.t.w. the first and middle babes are very hot. Last one on the bottom doesn't do it for me. Just my opinion.

Seinfeld is a great show. I've only seen a few episodes of Family Guy. I've heard it's good though.
There are much better pics of Jennifer Ellison (the 3rd babe) out there but I was too lazy to find one last night. Elisha Cuthbert (1st babe) is smoking hot in her picture and Salma Hayek is pretty much always hot except for that one movie where she played the unibrow artist woman.

She looked really awesome in that stupid Will Smith movie.
