I didn't like the wedding-invite story either, Hec.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm pretty sure that's the episode most cited on the Jumping The Shark website.
Buffy used to be in the Never Jumped category, but I bet there are lots of votes now for (a) after graduating from H.S. (b) Dawn's arrival (c) Bleak S6.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Jon ... Allan was joking I'm sure. Seinfeld is flogged like the rotted horse carcass that it is and it was back on Aussie screens not that long ago.
I used to think the early seasons were hilarious but then one day George started to really annoy me and from then on I found it increasingly difficult to watch. I still found things to laugh at in the later seasons but the love had gone and I could only watch it in tiny doses.

I can't even.

jimi is me in this. I always loved Newman, but he never stopped being a caricature. I'm not sure if the writing started treating the others more like whole people (so I had to assess them that way) or if it was just an accumulation of familiarity that made it seem like it. I just got really tired of all of them, except maybe Kramer.
There was almost always some clever stuff and some of the big city riffing I got, although I've never been to NYC.

I never watched Seinfeld in first run, and now I avoid it because the theme music/popping drives me insane! Yes, I do let silly things spoil my fun.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Seinfeld never really engaged me -- maybe because I know somebody who is as close to a real-life George as you can get, and about as annoying as that implies.

One of my favorite quotes to use is "You don't just need a psychiatrist. You need a team, from a clinic in Vienna or someplace, just to study you. Doctors working around the clock." Or something like that.

Cindy, when will you give up your multiple nefarious plans to recarve UnAm in your own image?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I don't think you should be criticizing Cindy here in the de facto Cindy thread. ( That was her secret plan, all along!:)
