Just watched the first two seasons of Friends and the first season of Seinfeld (never seen them before so a trip to the past) and Seinfeld is so much more intelligent and Friends so shallow and boring (outside some Joey gimmicks). Is there any such show with playful intelligent humor as Seinfeld these days?

Curb Your Enthusiasm. Took a while for me to get into it but it's really good. :)

The camera rocking around made it really tough for me but I love the show. I wish there was a stabilizer feature for some shows like this. I know it was an artistic choice but…

Friends gets better.

So does Seinfeld, to be fair.

obligatory mention of the Vandelay Industries slack app[1].

usage is: /vandelay .

it returns an animated gif of the scene & dialog you searched for (if it exists).

details about how it was made here[2] but the TL;dr is that the entire Seinfeld catalog were in MKV, the subs were extracted, then the sub time ranges were looped through and animated gifs were made. then the whole lot made searchable.

it's a great slack app.

code here[3].

I love this. I picked one at random https://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheCigarStoreIndian.htm I haven't seen this one, but it's great. The characters are so familiar you can construct the whole thing perfectly in your head, now I don't really need to see it. Although I can't picture Elaine's apartment. Was that a regular set? The script is put together like a Swiss watch. Every line fits perfectly in place. Kudos to th…

Reading the transcript still isn't close to actually seeing the episode. Is this some sort of younger trend, like people who watch 30 minute movie summary videos and then say they don't need to watch the movie?

Just an fyi based on the other comments. This isn't some funny AI generated script site. These are actual scripts from the archive of the show.

Not to be rude, but why are you summarizing/repeating other comments on a post with only ~30 comments?

I felt the same way with Succession. The camera constantly moving felt “off.”

Yes, Seinfeld is great. However, I would urge you to watch all the seasons of both. They're fun.

I keep coming back to: - 30 rock - arrested development - curb your enthusiasm and - jake and amir - joel haver - brian david gilbert all in short clips on youtube

Joel Haver appearing on my YouTube feed out of nowhere was a great gift I never expected

Maybe the downloadable text of the script was generated by OCR with minor errors?

Was this intended as a reply to me? OCR errors aren't going to broaden the range of sets used!
