Those who know me well will ultimately know of my love for and complete joy I receive from watching the most amazing show ever. I sit and watch the shows back to back, laughing out loud at the sheer Seinfeld'ness that is a part of our every days. Of course most of us are not as completely neurotic, superficial and just sheer whacked out as these guys, but what makes it great is just how much truth their is in the social commentary of the show.
You know some people watch endless amounts of what I call "caustic TV" - that which stresses and winds you up tighter than before. There is no chance to relax or de-stress from the troubles and stresses of life watching it. It's crime shows, angry hateful reality shows and weekly episodes from some neighbourhood depicting "life" - full of failed marriages, arguments, cheating spouses, divorce, murder, pain and suffering. This isn't life and certainly not what we should fill ourselves with.
Laughter truly is the medicine of choice for me. Seinfeld for me is life. It is intoxicating therapeutic goodness that I thank God for. Man I wish I'd had the knowledge and foresight to watch a live screening of this show while it was still in the making. Alas it can never happen, maybe one day I could meet Jerry, George, Kramer or Elaine. One can dream.
