In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
About to start this - is this similar to some other US sitcoms that can do with skipping the first season?
How do you cope with the fake laughter?
It does take a bit of time to fine its place, but I wouldn't skip anything. Seeing it evole is nice, considering it's a classic and all.
Funniest American show along with Cheers in my humble opinion.
Yeah, you could easily skip the first two and come back to them later, should you like the rest. The quality really improves from the third season.
Loving the promo they've done for it.
Been watching the first 3 seasons since it came on Netflix. It really is such a great show. The writing is just something else.
I don't get it. I mean I don't find it bad, but I just don't understand the cult status. Also, Kramer, Elaine and George are great but Seinfeld is terribly unfunny and a really poor actor. Went through 2.5 seasons but just kinda stopped watching it, not sure if I'll ever get back to it.
If it was the first 2 seasons you’ll never really see why people love it. Only really starts hitting its stride in the 3rd season. The quality of the writing improves hugely.
Fecking finally. I've spend my entire life wondering how the entire world loves Jerry Seinfeld. He seems like a wildly unfunny, arrogant dickhead to me.
He's the 20th century James Corden.
Jerry is definitely all those things, he's unbearable in his 'comedians in cars getting coffee' show. Smarmy and arrogant. I find him tolerable in Seinfeld though, even though he is the least entertaining character in the show.
4th season really, when the budget improved a little. But the last two seasons are why they're immortal.
RE: The characters are awful... that's kinda the point.
The show is predicated on the idea that they're all horrible people who regularly get their compeuppance, especially Jerry, Elaine and George. It's a reflection of fast-paced IDGAF New York life that shows them at their absolute worst, emotionally absent and driven by self-centred motives. The humour derives from seeing them flounder through everything because they have no real interest in it or are blowharding their way through. We laugh at them, not with them.
It's cult show I suppose because nothing has come close to what it did in terms of having such a simple premise for its entire 9-season duration.
I like it

I do like the part we're they want to pitch their show and keep saying, it's a how about nothing.RE: The characters are awful... that's kinda the point.

What's the deal this show anyway? It's just so zany
I fking love it
That's a good episode. Newmanium, booking Christopher Cross, "little bit of Jerry for a lot of Elaine", and so on. The ending was perfect along with the snort sound.
So I've watched all of it. All seasons. I have to say, I think the last 2 were a bit hard to get through, they didn't have the same wit. But the middle ones were fantastic.
The last two you can really see what Larry David brought to it. They get broad and surreal. I like them, but they are very different in tone. Some great episodes still, such as The Slicer.
I think like most american comedy shows they go on too long.
