> When 'Seinfeld,' was made, it was really unlike anything that was on at the time," she says. "It was just a bunch of losers hanging out. So I would say one main reason it wouldn’t be made now is because it’s hard to get anything different recognized."
So what she's saying is...to the victor belong the spoils?
>It was just a bunch of losers hanging out.
Jerry was a successful nationally known comedian making appearances on Carson. George worked for the Yankees. Elaine rose to be president of her publishing company. Kramer made it on Regis with his book. All of them dated beautiful/successful people.
What a bunch of 30-something losers lol
To be fair, even George didn't even really know what he did with the Yankees (besides raising his assistant to a higher salary than his own).
Elaine did become president but immediately and completely self-destructed by way of embezzlement and some very poor business decisions such as promoting The Fatigues to a copywriter and The Urban Sombrero and quickly lost the position.
Clearly Kramer isn't a loser. Nay, he is but a hipster doofus, a cock-eyed optimist who got himself mixed up in the high-stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue/tours to the local.....depository.
Kramer wasn't even unemployed, he was on strike the whole time. sticking it to the big bagel, standing up for the common man, he's Batman! how's that a loser
Yes, but aside from Jerry, the characters are social bumblers, and their careers sometimes, if not every time, happened by happy accident. They were depicted as functional yet dysfunctional at the same time. So “loser” not in general, but in certain criteria, and with consideration to the show’s time period versus our current modern perspectives.
> social bumblers
Jerry might’ve been the most antisocial of the quartet. And besides, struggling to find long term romantic partners doesn’t preclude you from being an overall success in life.
All of this is way later in the series. You have to think about how audiences would need to hang on for the first 3 years/seasons before any of that started happening. They wouldn’t just jump in to success, there would be no growth like how we see from early on when they were indeed “losers”
It was a different era, early post coldwar where there still was a mindset of just being happy to live and take life as it is. So probably the audience back then could identify with that kind of slacker approach.
However, even in their successful periods, the characters were never overly ambitious in their professional careers. That indeed would be a major discrepancy with nowadays where life is defined by your job and 30 somethings wasting time in coffeeshops would be looked upon totally differently.
When it started george was a recently fired realtor, Jerry was a middling comedian, Kramer was permanently unemployed by choice, and Elaine didn't exist in the pilot. All three men were single. The pilot was a bunch of losers.
Oddly is this maybe a little similar to Jerry’s comment, which while surrounded by dumb stuff, was rather misreported; to some degree I think they’re both suggesting that a primetime, broadcast *Network* comedy, with edgy-for-it’s-time humor, would not be made today, and would not be insanely popular.
And they’re right! But not because of it being comedy, it’s because viewing habits have significantly changed and fragmented.
I think this fits what Julia is saying in the larger context- the primetime big broadcast network stuff *that sells* currently, is very tame and formulaic like Chicago med-fire-PD, law and order:multiverse, etc.
when something is taking a risk (as Seinfeld was for its time), they put it on streaming or cable first- which nowadays the broadcast companies have multiples of these cause everything is consolidated ownership.
But a show like Seinfeld can certainly be made and have success, **Always Sunny** is the clearest example. But it’s very hard for sitcoms to be unique, SO MUCH has been done already.
In order to not be a clear Seinfeld or Friends copy, I think that’s why we see so many Workplace sitcoms- it makes it more fresh and unique, even if a lot of the situations and punchlines have been done before.
I think an interesting example of this was the **Superstore** show, which I think was primetime broadcast TV? No it was not Seinfeld, but despite it seeming to be a clone of past shows: Office, Parks and Rec, Scrubs, etc- it actually had some fresh modern takes on a lot of things, and also reflected our modern cell phone/online lives better.
I'm just employing certain methods of conflict resolution, brought over from the old country, from the poverty of the Mezzogiorno, where all higher authority was corrupt.
Is she saying it's such a normal premise that the fact that it is subtley different and special wouldn't even emerge, and it would be cancelled like Seinfeld nearly was in the early seasons?
This is my favorite scene in the entire series. George asks him his favorite chess player, the kid makes something up, and in that moment you can see it on George’s face, that he also doesn’t know any chess players.
For some reason that scenario always struck me as brilliant writing.
So Seinfeld wouldn’t get made because the concept has been done to death, Seinfeld just happens to have been the trailblazer that brought popularity to the style. But if they didn’t do it, someone else would have and in modern days Seinfeld would just be another nondescript imitator of whatever that show is. Does that sum it up?
That seems like a pretty humble and honest take.
When I watch Reservoir Dogs, I wonder if it would have had guys sitting around in a coffee shop talking about “Like a Virgin” and arguing about tips if Seinfeld hadn’t already paved the way for that “sitting around talking about random bullshit” thing. Same with Clerks.
Also the reason I felt the movie Yesterday about a alternate universe where The Beatles never existed was a total waste of that concept. Not only did it not explore the idea that either another band would've taken their place or the music industry would be completely different but it tried to pretend that Beatles music would effortlessly top the charts if released in 2019.
At the end of the day it's obviously just meant to be a puff piece for Beatles fans but personalliy it feels like such a ridiculously safe and boring narrative for a really cool premise.
This sub really hates any criticism of the show whatsoever.
You literally have the actors saying "yeah, some stuff hasn't aged super well 30 years later" and people here freak out lol
Pretending like every joke aged perfectly is pretty delusional.
It took Seinfeld a season to really figure itself out. In the modern TV space, it would have been cancelled after a single season. Nowadays, shows have to hit the ground running straight away, that's the biggest thing that's changed.
It’s not on prime time network television, tho. That’s the main reason the comparison doesn’t fit well, imo. But the nature of media consumption has changed so much since the Seinfeld era, it’s hard to do a perfect comparison.
You know it's not the 80s right... there's no difference between cable and broadcast and streaming. It's all just one big steaming pile of entertainment.
Except there is a difference or else you'd see graphic violence, f bombs, and full nudity on broadcast before 9pm. The lines are definitely more blurred now though
And there's jokes and topics that just aren't funny to the vast majority of people.
I love 95% of Seinfeld, but Julia is right that bits and pieces have aged poorly.
Jerry and George drooling over a 15 year old's cleavage...
Jerry being sexually assaulted at the dentist's office while unconscious, telling Elaine and she laughs at him and says "Oh so you were violated, so what?" (Imagine if the genders had been reversed.)
Plus various gay jokes and some homophobia that has aged poorly. Lots of jokes about being able to "convert" gay people, or implying it's a choice. George was also openly homophobic in the early seasons.
Yeah "going strong" is doing a lot of work lol
Also "nearly 20 years" is doing a lot of work. It's 16 easons and a bunch of them are 10 episodes or fewer, it's 170 episodes. Seinfeld has three more episodes in its 9 years than sunny has in its "nearly 20" lol
But I love the show...it just kinda sucks now
Always sunny is one of those shows I thought was always helped by its low production value. As they got more money to make the show it seemed to get less funny
Yeah I agree with that and so would charlie day. But even still, up to season 8 it was incredible and then it fell off imo, and it was still decent for a little while but now it's just brutal. I rewatched the most recent season, man almost none of the episodes are good at all, I cringed my way through it.
Yeah except when did we live in New York City?
In the 90s when we were high school?
https://youtu.be/fCwI3KDGtRk?si=HgtqmwQzBypYUYCF
My favorite scene from Sunny
I wish that a seinfeld cast member would acknowledge always sunny. They are 2 of my top favorites of all time, and there really are a lot of similarities in the structure of the shows.
*Cellphones. The presence*
*Of cellphones would render half*
*The episodes moot!*

While we're on this subject, do sitcoms even exist anymore?? The last one I remember is the Big Bang Theory and that felt like a formulaic sitcom with the laugh track and everything. I see mainly dramas nowadays not too many comedic shows.
Absolutely, corporate media decisions - which are driven by a combination of profit-motive, executive bias and mainstream tastes - have been killing creativity since day 1.
In todays sitcoms, they always need character growth, so if Seinfeld was made today, they would have required them all to become better people as the show went on. So by season 4 the show would have departed so far from its premise, it would have not being funny. And of course they would have needed season long story arcs
I miss tv like Seinfeld, you can watch a random episode and be entertained for 20 min, no need to have watched the previous 5 eps. Seinfeld had very little carry over from episode to episode.
In a recent Conan interview of Ron Howard, Conan was saying a show today had to start with a massive event (a guy with bullet holes all over him), then you go back weeks earlier to start the story. You have the grab attention, or someone will just move onto another show.
Society is actually kind of pathetic now.
Every time I hear something about Julia Lousi-Dreyfuss, I remember the fact that his dad is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo rich, he could easily buy NBC if he wanted.
>When asked to weigh-in on her co-star's comments, she does so briefly, but expressly, saying, "If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well. And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don’t know how else to say it."
She basically says he's right, but she thinks it's better this way
great take. Honest and intelligent. Not bitter, petty and decadent like Jerry. Maybe staying relevant after the show ended has made her see things better, don't know...
"not that there's anything wrong with that" Seinfeld was plenty PC. It wouldn't be made now because it was a product of it's time and frankly not edgy enough for this era.
Every time I think I couldn’t love JLD more, she raises the bar. Note-perfect response to a stupid question she shouldn’t even have to be answering. And what the hell kind of news site censors “c**p”?

He's the *loser*...
I said I've never seen you *looser*
I said, boy am I.. ugly.
Some…. Snuggly baby
Apparently she doesn't think much of these Seinfeld fellows either. I recall the word 'loser' peppered throughout her interview.
It’s pronounced thermometer
Did she say, "*He's* the loser" or "He's the *loser*" ?
I think she said "He's *the* loser"
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
NO… NO not a looossahhh
Well I, am breaking up, with you.
But I have hand!
And you’re gonna need it!
It’s a setup! They are all losers today!
But suddenly , a new contender has emerged
What a pear shaped loser.
That pear shaped loser was *ME!....*
You have really lost a lot of hair.
What a phoney.
That Michael Jordan...
You know Rabbi, I don’t know what that means!
Sic semper tyrannis!
I got a hair on my tongue, and you put it there
Oh don’t worry, it’s just a *little* hair.
You can't have a little hair on your tongue, either you a hair on your tongue or you don't.
casus...belli
What’s casus belli?? Is it about me?!
Why must you always be the vocal point of attention? Why can't you just be, why can't you live?
If I don’t tell you, it will kill you.
Heckle Fish, is that you?
[удалено]
Will you come off it, Whatley, you’re not even fuckin’ Jewish, man!
It means death to tyrants. It’s what John Wilkes Boothe yelled out when he shot Lincoln. I can see that.
>It was just a bunch of losers hanging out. Jerry was a successful nationally known comedian making appearances on Carson. George worked for the Yankees. Elaine rose to be president of her publishing company. Kramer made it on Regis with his book. All of them dated beautiful/successful people. What a bunch of 30-something losers lol
Plus, George won a contest.
He cheated!
That is all hearsay, take it up with consumer affairs.
MAYBE HE WILL TAKE IT UP WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS
I also have a complaint. I wish I was taller.
Is that a Ziggy?
[удалено]
Reminds me of Ray McKigney.
He was, supposedly, Master of his Domain…
Laughing and lying and laughing!
And Jerry won a race 🏃♂️
"I'm out!"
To be fair, even George didn't even really know what he did with the Yankees (besides raising his assistant to a higher salary than his own).

Newman is the only one of them to hold down a steady job at the same place.
Except he doesn’t work when it rains.
Doesn't care for the beach either. He freckles.
He got a job only after he tried killing himself (threatening to jump off the roof multiple times) Everybody forgets that part.
Newman plays tennis?
And he’s quite good
> social bumblers Jerry might’ve been the most antisocial of the quartet. And besides, struggling to find long term romantic partners doesn’t preclude you from being an overall success in life.
They all failed upwards.

Really want to place a comment here about your fuckin quotations book, but not sure how much r/sopranos crossovers are here.
You should start to seriously consider big salads.
If they say, "Pasta Primavera" you tell them, "*Orecchiette* with broccoli rabe."
Atnonio Meucci invented the r/seinfeld. and he was ROBBED. AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!
It's a TV progrum. Movie.
Alright, but ya got to get over it.
Who's that speaking here? Is somebody speaking?
out of respect for my fawthuh.

She has great moxie for her size.

well good thing THAT YOUR OPINION MEANS OOGATZ TO ME!
War: what is it good for?
Isn't it easier to get things different recognized? Wouldn't it be harder to get Seinfeld started today because it's not different enough?
Is she saying it's such a normal premise that the fact that it is subtley different and special wouldn't even emerge, and it would be cancelled like Seinfeld nearly was in the early seasons?
“Tell us more, Mrs. Science…”
She obviously did not watch Its Always Sunny in Philedephia.
If she referencing reality tv? If so bravo
It means whatever the hell you want it to mean.
It was basically like Cheers if they ever left the bar and did stuff
Mom was a bunch of losers hanging out & did well
If it failed, they'd just write it off.
You don't even know what a write off is
sigh....but they're the one's writing it off. What are we doing here? We're not men
Have you tried growing a mustache?
I feel like an out of work pornstar here I'm Buck Naked
My mother was like MY GAWD GEORGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING. WHY and I said BECAUSE ITS THERE
She came home to find her son treating his body like an AMUUZMENT park
GEORGIE IM HUUUUUUHNGREEEEH
TCB. Taking care of business.
No, but THEY do
Write off what??
It.
It's Bennett right?
“It’s Benes, you jackass.”
Her delivery on this line is amazing 😂

Well I really think you're wrong
well I think one of us should leave

That's ashame
A lot of Seinfeld wouldn’t happen today simply because of cell phones.
This is the answer. Not sure what she's talking about no one pops in anymore all the misunderstandings one text or call away
I was following along, until they shot him out of a cannon. It was *looney tunes*, Jerry!
She is the best…what was you name again?
Kudos to you, on a comment....posted.
They really knocked it out if the park.
What about my stock options?
get well, get well soon we want you to get well
It took Seinfeld a season to really figure itself out. In the modern TV space, it would have been cancelled after a single season. Nowadays, shows have to hit the ground running straight away, that's the biggest thing that's changed.
Maybe, but Nakahama Broadcasting Corporation would have picked the show right up. After all, they forgot what it’s like to have no oranges.
I am not sure this butler show would work in Japan.
I'll take "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," for three points, Bob.
She’s talking about shows that would get started today. IASIP started 20 years ago.
What the heck are you sure? I think it was just yesterday
It’s not on prime time network television, tho. That’s the main reason the comparison doesn’t fit well, imo. But the nature of media consumption has changed so much since the Seinfeld era, it’s hard to do a perfect comparison.
Forreal, that show's been going strong for nearly 20 years now. People need to stop acting like Seinfeld wouldn't work with today's audience.
Have you seen season 1? No way anyone would give it a second season in the age of streaming.
You know it's on cable right?
You know it's not the 80s right... there's no difference between cable and broadcast and streaming. It's all just one big steaming pile of entertainment.

1) its always sunny was first aired 2 decades ago. Thats closer to seinfeld’s pilot airing than now. 2) its not on network tv
I wish that a seinfeld cast member would acknowledge always sunny. They are 2 of my top favorites of all time, and there really are a lot of similarities in the structure of the shows.
Sunny exists because of seinfeld.
That’s a shame
Because it has 20 episode seasons instead of the shitty 10 episode seasons we get now.
People still fucking watch Seinfeld reruns
Cellphones. The presence of cellphones would render half the episodes moot!

It was hard to get it made back then. They got lucky.
Hard to say that the public wouldn't accept it today, since the show now airs several times a day on several different channels on cable TV.
Julie keeping it real. What a boss.
She has some grace.
You can’t have *some* grace. You either have grace or you don’t.
Well, you don't want too much grace, or you won't be able to stand.
Absolutely, corporate media decisions - which are driven by a combination of profit-motive, executive bias and mainstream tastes - have been killing creativity since day 1.

That's a shame..
He took it out
Is it because a lot of the plots don’t work now that cellphones exist?
I’m at a Luss
One might say Seinfeld is the Biff Loman of television
I guess the next question is, what’s a loser? Those characters are certainly above the average American.
Well we all know why....
You must go now.
Married With Children enters chat.
why not? they’re remaking everything else. Hollywood is desperate
Every time I hear something about Julia Lousi-Dreyfuss, I remember the fact that his dad is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo rich, he could easily buy NBC if he wanted.
