I'd rather watch P&R or Community than any of those three, and it's not close.

I actually liked the original Apprentice without the B list stars. Unfortunately it didn't get the ratings the B list gets.

Yeah man they were second to none with that lineup. Couldn't be beat.

A hearty "meh".

I didn't hate it. It was better than Friends or Frasier.

I think Friends is better than Seinfeld. Seinfeld was certainly quirkier. But Friends was a game changer. I think Friends feels less groundbreaking now because so many sitcoms since have been modeled after it. Seinfeld had a formula that it's almost impossible to copy. In that sense, Seinfeld is one of the best and most original shows I've ever seen.

The downside is that I don't think that brand of humor holds up as well over time. When it worked the humor was untouchable. But it missed as much as it hit. And when that brand of humor misses... yikes. Friends might have been safer (less risky in terms of style of humor), but it was also more consistent for longer.

Having said that, I still think both shows went on a couple seasons too long.

Friends was a great show but nothing touches Seinfeld. FYI, if you like Friends, check out Happy Endings. It's basically Friends in Chicago instead of New York.

Can't argue that.

I never really liked Seinfeld all that much, and it's always struck me as one of those shows that was popular because it was the 'in' thing at the time.

I actually liked it better before it got really huge and had a smaller following. Around 92 or 93? Once they moved it to Thursday Night Must See TV a few yer later it didn't seem as good, but it got huge in popularity.

Nah, I just like Larry David's brand of humor. Curb is awesome to me as well.

I most certainly have to disagree. I love it today as I did then. It holds up. My 13 yr old son loves it.
