Seinfeld > Friends


So I have had this argument a hand full of time and thought I should break it down in this blog post. What is better Seinfeld or Friends? Hmmmm? Well to be honest Friends is just a chick flick version of Seinfeld. Lets think of the similarities. Friends is also: in NYC, Friends hang out all day, show the "hangout spot" and others.

Here's the thing. Seinfeld doesn't go for the cheap laughs a prototypical sitcom clings to like Friends. It isn't predictable where you could watch a new episode and predict every stupid joke that will be told from one of Friends "dumb" characters. Aka Phoebe or Joey....

Oh and isn't the Friends intro to the show cute? Yeah they're just playing in a waterfall casually just loving each others company as the music goes "i'll be there for youuuuu" awwwww..if I wanted to watch the Notebook I would of just asked to. Seinfeld doesn't waste time, they don't have any little intro to fill up time in their episode, all they do is dominate the competition like Friends.

It must of been pretty easy for Friends director David Cane to come up with episode ideas, all he had to do was tune in on Thursday nights for Seinfeld. Game set match Seineld=1......Friends-67

Seinfeld Reunion on Larry David's HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (2009)

Many Seinfeld fans believe the season 9 finale was intended to create an opening or the cast if they ever wanted to come back and make more episodes. What many people don't know is that in a way the Seinfeld crew has already reunited to make a section of an episode in Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in November of 2009.

In this episode, David in present time was watching a current episode of Seinfeld. The episode lasted around 12 minutes inside of the 22min episode of the HBO show.

Here's is a clip from the episode...
