The New Favorite

I'll admit it right now, I wasn't the biggest fan of the show Seinfeld when the series was still running. I remember watching a few episodes and maybe because I was young, I just didn't get it. I'm not saying I hated it, but it just wasn't my thing. Back in the day, it seems like the only shows I watched were, Boy Meets World, The Simpsons, Doug, Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and Full House. I was a kid and that's what most kids watched.

I think I actually got into Seinfeld during the final episode, but then again, everything on TV can seem pretty cool when you are watching it with Ghoti Hook and Value Pac. (True Story) But as the years went by and reruns seem to be showing on like every channel two times a day, I thought I would give it a try, so I started watching a few episodes here and there. I began to laugh... a lot. It was funny TV. These characters are all one of kind. It still wasn't my favorite thing to watch on TV, far from it, but it was something that I enjoyed watching time to time.

Four years later, I move out of my parents house and into an apartment with two crazy guys. I'll say this right now, I probably stood out from these guys the most, because I wasn't digging most of the stuff they watched on TV. There were some times when I though I did, but I didn't, but when there was stuff on that we all enjoyed, it made the experience even better. Of the few shows we watched, Seinfeld seem to stick out the most, because it was something I was still getting into and at the same time, a show that was Twan's favorite. He even collected the seasons on DVD and we would watch them and we would laugh. My likeness for show grew during that year.

Now a few years later, my like turned more into a love. I began watching any episode that I could watch on TV. When company is over, we'll watch it. When I get off work, I'll flip it to TBS and watch two episodes. Even if the same episode was playing two different days on different channels, it was okay. Seinfeld is one of those re-run shows, that you can watch the same episode like, three times and just like it more and more. It's just that good. Now I can't say that I've seen every episode or that I have a favorite, but I can say this, Seinfeld is my favorite cancelled or re-run show. Period.
