How 'bout Seinfeld? Do most Brits get the nuances....cuz so much is based on "growing up in 60s America".



There is only ONE character in that show that has ANY redeeming qualities (Jerry...and he's only the good guy in comparison with the rest of the cast)

To me, that's the reason for the monstrous success of the show (critics overwhelmingly voted it 'Best sit com ever" over "Mash", "Honeymooners" etc.)...the basic UNLIKEABILITY of all the characters makes them funny. We have virtually NO sympathy for them.

Plus......the acting and writing was absolutely brilliant....the cast are so adrift at the moment (other than Larry Davis, and Wayne Knight) it's almost sad, to me. I saw Julia, in a "My Big Fat Greek whatever" and she looked positively embarrased to be around all the terribly fake Greek accents. Geez! Michael Constantine goes back and forth fro Greek to Russian.....and I worked enough Greek restaurants to know!

Cheers
