Is it just me, or is Seinfeld the most cleverly written show to ever grace the airways? It's like every little thing that happens leads to a hilarious new problem for one of the other characters. Genius, I tell you.

I'm not sure how I feel about Seinfeld, truth be told. It's one of the rare TV shows I tend to watch in syndication (though not regularly, like The Simpsons or Futurama), and there are probably a handful of episodes I think of as the pinnacle of television. And yet, I feel it's a sort of misanthropic show, especially in its final years. I can't say I actually like any of the characters, and to a certain extent I feel a certain perverse satisfaction when they suffer as a consequence of their own misanthropy and self-centeredness. It?s surely a show that feels no love for humanity; but then, I sometimes relate to that sentiment.

I never found Seinfeld outright hilarious - witty, certainly, but it doesn't tickle my funny bone as much as The Simpsons, Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle, Curb Your Enthusiasm (which is ironic, given its creator), and Conan O'Brien. (Oh, and Are You Being Served? How could I forget that one!)

OK, well i didn't say that Jerry Seinfeld himself was the funniest guy, just the show in general.

Has anybody ever seen MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge)? LOL, now there's a funny show. It's imported from Japan. Absolutely ridiculous to the point that it's just funny.

And since this is a movie site, does anybody know what MST3K is/was (Mystery Science Theater 3000). That was my all-time favorite show while it was on the air. Now it's pretty awkward to think that Sci-Fi aired something of quality.

I loved MST3K. Lately, Sci-Fi Channel has been showing the same six episodes over and over, or, at least, they were around three months ago when I stopped recording it. And, yeah, I think MXC is muy funny, too. I had no idea it was created and hosted by Takeshi Kitano when I first began watching it. I just knew that one of the guys in the samurai outfit looked mighty familiar.

Did I ever say I didn't like it? Please point out where I said that.

For loathing the show, you seem to know a lot about it. I like some of the movies they bash, too -- Monster That Challenged the World, Phase IV, The Crawling Eye, The Black Scorpion, It Conquered the World, The Mole People, and This Island Earth -- but each has certainly leaves itself open for ridicule, and the MSTK3 treatment doesn't change my enjoyment of them when I watch them in their "pure" form. And then, of course, their are the movies that earnestly deserved the bashing they got, (Time of the Apes) which, in my eyes, completely validates the show's existence.
