I was also a sucker for the show's guiding principles: No hugging; no learning.
Weird love's better than no love.

I also hated it. I thought they were all mean, mean people, and I have enough mean people in my life without watching them on TV.

Liked the show until Susan's death, which was treated so callously I couldn't like the characters after that.

Oh, man. I've felt so alone in my Seinfeld hate.
It disgusted and failed to amuse me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I never liked it either. I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Sometimes I wasn't terribly amused, but other times I thought it was really pretty funny.

You're not Jon. I like Seinfeld a lot. I wouldn't want to know those people in real life, but they're perfectly fine on my TV

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
I loved it for a while, and then just got tired of it. It's only recently I can watch the reruns again.

I really enjoyed the show, but got turned off by the coldness of the characters. Same thing that turned me off with Cheers too - so many of the jokes got mean spirited over time. I prefer a sappy sitcom like Friends or Mary Tyler Moore (which famously ended in a hug, yet avoided lessons learned)
