    I know how big Seinfeld was, I was around, lol. Him getting that show and being a household name isn’t exactly a reflection of talent. There are other factors and circumstances that also contribute to that. I also don’t disagree that the man has an understanding of comedy/joke telling. I just feel that, overall, he is very overrated, and he is long past the point that his opinions should be considered relevant or listened to.

      Won’t disagree with you there, I was just explaining why he’s put on such a pedestal. It’s not uncommon for the most well known people in an art to not be the absolute most talented people doing it; unfortunately talent alone almost never brings people success.

      Him getting and making that show is unequivocally a reflection of talent. 9 seasons of constant one of the top five most watched sitcoms with no bad seasons. You’re an idiot if you don’t think that takes loads talent.
