7/10
First Seinfeld Experience... somewhat solid
22 May 2019
As it is known as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, it is interesting to look back on it. I am just beginning my first watch of the series, and I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed with the pilot. It seems like there's about 50% stand up and 50% actual events happening, like seeing the events unfold like at the laundromat or Jerry's apartment. From what I've gathered, it's not a story-heavy show. The stand-up does have some good moments, but it's really when they would show us the actual events that it becomes the funniest. The chemistry between Seinfeld and the other characters like George is great. The laundromat scene is great and the scene where Jerry is talking to George about what happened between him and this girl is easily the funniest part of the episode. Jerry's cluelessness is what makes it so funny and how George would respond to it. Unfortunately she only appears at the very end for maybe two minutes max. But it is funny when she reveals that she's already engaged. Overall it's a bit of a rocky start but it's still a fun watch and I'm still going to continue watching.
