Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JimEN: That big titted barely legal girl he dated was hot. his wife isn't bad. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JimEN: That big titted barely legal girl he dated was hot. his wife isn't bad. She was 17, he was 38 This isn't a rumor either, it was a verified fact. Imagine you're in high school and you find out a friend is dating an almost 40 year old. Or you have an almost 40 year old friend that's dating a 17 year old high school girl. Everyone would consider you a massive creep. But celebrities get treated differently. Real-life Jerry Seinfeld, comedian, TV star and life observer, was strolling through Central Park one day in May 1993 when he spotted a stranger he now calls "the most wonderful girl in the world." Seinfeld, then 38, sallied over, made small talk and went away with the telephone number of Shoshanna Lonstein — then 17 and a senior at the private Nightingale-Bamford School in Manhattan.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ambridge77: I'm okay with him turning 70. It weirds me out that he was only 35 when he started his tv show. Why? I don't know. Probably because that age feels ridiculously young to you now, and it's weird to compare where you were at that age, with the success he had. I have that reaction even with myself, like, "I was too young and inexperienced to have been doing that shit." |

Seinfeld started in 1989
I Love Lucy started in 1951 38 year difference 2024 - 1989 = 35 year difference We’re almost the same difference away from now to Seinfeld that we were in 1989 to the beginning of I Love Lucy |

Same here. I will be 70 in September. Never saw it coming. 2 combat tours in Afghanistan doesn't seem possible in my lifetime. It does seem that Seinfeld was a fountain of youth. I'm going to deal with it. What's even more absurd is the White House is occupied by a soon to be 82 y/o corrupt, pedophile with a shitty diaper who was elected to the senate during my first semester in college, 1972. This was also the same year of Roe v Wade and a couple years prior to Watergate. |

I remember back in the early 90's my boss had called for a mandatory night time meeting to take place at a restaurant. Well one of the guys had not shown up so I called his house and his mother answered. I said he is supposed to be at a meeting for work. She said "Oh no, we watch Seinfeld tonight. The guy was 23.

I have to do it for family and friends who are younger to help me appreciate their perspective. I'm like, OK, this kid was born in 2003. When referencing "Back to the Future" or "Commando" for him, that's like when I was in my early 20s and dudes referenced "Vertigo" or "Bridge in the River Kwai." It also grow to realize how "recently" events were that happened a decade or two before you were born. As a kid, they are ancient history. As you get older, you realize how recently they were in the memories of the adults you grew up around. Anyone born in before 1978 had adults in their lives whose memories of WW2 were more recent than our current memories of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and the Sept. 11th attacks were already longer ago than the Tet Offensive was when said war kicked off. |

Jerry is funny but in a more traditional comic way. Kramer and Costanza made the show what it is. Kramer, George, Frank Costanza, Jerry, Elaine. In that order. Newman gets an honorable mention, as well as Jerry’s parents and George’s mom. |

I found the show Seinfeld to be quite funny but that was mostly due to the writing and other characters. Jerry Seinfeld on stage is the most unfunny comedian I have ever seen.
Having said that, he is now worth a billion dollars due to the residuals from the show and other things so he must have done something right. |

The writing was what made Seinfeld great. Multiple parallel story lines that neatly intersected in the final seconds or final line of the episode were brilliant.
My favorite ending, "The Fatigues" It tied parallel story lines about Kramer hosting a Jewish singles group, Elaine promoting a scary worker she was afraid to fire, and George's father's PTSD ( from cooking during the Korean War) neatly into a single event in the final seconds of the show.
