90s sitcoms

I'd like to discuss the age-old great debate. Which Seinfeld character was the funniest: George Costanza or Cosmo Kramer?

Of course if you think one of the other characters was actually the funniest, feel free to argue that.

That’s a tough one for me because they were collectively funny!! Separately, I think Kramer was the funniest of them all, imho. Kramer was the Iggy from Taxi of the Seinfeld show to me.

They both are hysterical and brilliantly played. I can't imagine their could ever be a better actor for either role. Though I do wonder how someone like Jim Carrey would do as Kramer, him and Richards both have a gift for physical humor.

This is likely nigh on blasphemy but i never really watched Seinfeld! Has it aged well? I really liked the lady who went on to be Selina Meyer in Veep and i know she is a major character so it has got me tempted to give it another shot a few times!

I never watched it much either. My wife had me sit through some episodes, and they weren't bad, but I wasn't overly impressed, either.

At least it is not just me! On a separate (though still tv related note) we just got done watching the first 3 seasons of Upload. I'd never even heard of it but we decided to give it a chance and it was actually really good. Reminded me a lot of the Good Place. Was a totally original concept too which is rare nowadays!

My favorite was:

Third Rock from the Sun

Every show, they stumbled into some aspect of human behavior, dissected it, took it absurdly too far and, finally, understood something about it. It mocked everything equally, and it was hilarious.

John Lithgow is too funny for words, and they had a big "win" with William Shatner appearing in a few shows as "The Big Giant Head."

Thanks for the heads up! I thought i was improving as the season went on so i am curious to see how the second season goes

I just went back and watched the Fraiser episode where Niles attempts to rebel, season 11 episode 11. In my top three favorite episodes of the show.

I've checked out from the new Fraiser, this version of the show isn't doing it for me.  I'm moving on to Matlock, which a few episodes in I am digging!

I'm digging the Matlock too. Kathy Bates is a great actress; I love everything that she's ever done.
