[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe most of this is 3 pages of people arguing it's relevant or it's not.  It's one of the most watched shows on Netflix and they paid a ton for it, so people who are making money off it might know just a little bit more about what's relevant and what's still appealing?

It's a dumb comedy.  It was mostly funny then and it's mostly funny now.  I'm 51 and I enjoyed it mostly (but loved Seinfeld), but saw that it was mostly silly humor and the lack of diversity was really obviously bad.  But silly humor is still funny.  My teenager just discovered it on Netflix and is bingewatching.  She thinks it's hilarious.  I'll catch an ep or a scene with her and I laugh, too.  It's has its funny moments.  [/quote]

This! When the contract ended and Netflix announced it was going to be removed ppl were furious. So much so that Netflix paid a very good amount to keep it until 2021. After which it’ll be moving to HBOMax who paid $85 mil a year for 5 years which outbid Netflix. So Netflix scooped up Seinfeld. Anyone claiming the show didn’t age well is in denial. I’m not even a fan of the show but it’s clear it has a very loyal fan base and is gaining new fans. You don’t have to like it but enough people do. And I don’t think it’s about relating to ppl, either you find it funny or you don’t. Yeah the cast isn’t diverse but that isn’t important to most ppl when you just want to laugh and watch something mindless. And I’m saying this as a AA woman who absolutely loves Seinfeld and likes about 2-3 episodes of Friends (any episode showing when Monica was fat). [/quote]

Three's Company had a good run in syndication, and that had little to be with being relatable, or funny, or aging well.  Middle of the road comedy has decent shelf life.[/quote]
