The TAX obsessed WEST needs Series alike Seinfeld. The show was not about nothing, nor men babies showing tantrums, as contended by few, rather, of experienced individuals in their late 30s-40s to 70s, who being alone or engaged or hooked or hitched or rich or penniless, made their lives, lively; irrespective of condition. Stoicism?
Whether Kramer’s transparent honest traits to his outstanding ideas from rubber containers to bro for men (derived from bra) to scent of the ocean; or miser George’s relationships with his Parents, yet, who can’t properly lie, whether as a marine biologist or architect; or Elaine, who had adjustment issues with female companions, her alluring dance moves, dating almost from Poor to Englishmen to Puddy to Clown, to the probable haters of the English Patient; or Jerry, being practical, yet, friendlier ‘on-screen’ to almost everyone; or Jerry’s arch nemesis Philosopher, Newman.
The show wasn’t about day to day life, but, how to live life lively, told by experienced individuals. Even in their lying, there was no wickedness. Recalling the courtroom scene of Newman & Kramer to avoid traffic fine.
Seinfeld is a pure 90s vibes. Aesthetics of what we later saw in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, in a bit thoughtful form.
Worth a recur watch!
