Default Just one question

The tree is down and laying in the yard like an obiturary to Christmas. The lingering smell of Turkey farts is a distance memory. The remaining bits of $300 worth of toys have been placed into the back of the cupboard never to be seen again until the Good Will run in 2007. Why do Americans think Seinfeld is so funny!

So the popular TV show bearing his name and the millions he has in the bank, is just a myth?

Talking to our friends about Seinfeld over the weekend, we had to explain that it was only ever shown in the UK at some stupid time like 1am so it never really took off over there. Neither of us could explain why it was shown at that time, until their bright spark of a teenager decided it "must something to do with the time differences"

A lot of people used to think the world was flat, but it didn't make it true

hahaha! I used to watch Seinfeld a few years back, it wasn't that bad, I've definitely seen worse...the American version of The Office springs to mind!!! I prefer Jerry Seinfeld in stand up, it's hill-hairy-arse!

Tried to give you karma for that but have to spread it around some more. It's about bloody time someone asked that. I have never cracked a smile during his short "stand-up" routine at the beginning of the show - he's just not a comedian in my book.
