Just for fun I'm currently revisiting some episodes from these. Some of my friends (despite being in their 50s) are big fans of the Big Bang Theory, but I still appreciate Seinfeld much more. I can laugh about stuff in TBBT, that's not the thing, but I find Seinfeld much sharper and closer connected to what happens in life. I think they're a good match though, they have some quite similar elements... and are very different in other respects. Anyone else who wants to share their opinion? |

Senfeld TBBT is a decent show, but Seinfeld is indeed funnier.

Seinfeld by an absolute mile. BBT was never all that funny in my opinion, but Seinfeld is still an absolute classic ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

Additional question: What more recent sitcoms should a Seinfield fan check out? (Or maybe a TBBT fan.) Other than Curb Your Enthusiasm (or Young Sheldon)?

I watched Young Sheldon. it's pretty good. The parents especially, I liked the performance of those two actors. Also the sister steals the show sometimes.

That was not quite my question but good information nonetheless, as I know most of CYE but not Young Sheldon, thanks!

About 3 weeks ago the Mrs and I just finished a rewatch of the whole Seinfeld series. The last season didn't really hold up to the rest IMHO. But I really loved the Big Bang Theory while it was on, and am enjoying the Young Sheldon series as well. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I'd have to go with Big Bang Theory.....Sheldon makes that whole show what it is. Holding true form to what a tech geek and super genius would act around women. We like Young Sheldon as well....... I'm a Seinfeld fan and always will be, a show about nothing is awesome. -------------

| I know that sometimes one should keep his thoughts to himself, but I couldn't help myself this time. I consider "Big Bang Theory" and "Seinfeld" to be two of the worst tv shows ever to air on broadcast television. Just my $0.02. |

Big Bang Theory has been one of my favorite shows since day one, whereas I could never get into Seinfeld. I watched a number of episodes back in the day and quite frankly found it more stupid than funny. That being said, I think that there has to be something said about one's personal investment into the characters of a sitcom, and personally I found myself relating to the Big Bang characters much more than the Seinfeld characters. While I enjoyed BBT, there were plenty of episodes that were pretty dumb, quite frankly, but since I enjoyed the characters and the show I took it in stride moreso than if I had just turned on the TV and watched a random episode here and there, which is my general experience with Seinfeld. -------------

Seinfeld is still funny, The Big Bang Theory never was. |

Never seen Seinfeld. BBT is awful IMHO, speaking as a scientist. The truth is I didn’t like a single character (apart from maybe Leonard’s mum), so could never connect with any of them. And the dreadful laughter…ugh😑 Friends is really the only American sitcom I’ve ever really loved😎 |

Seinfeld by a lot... Funnier comedy ever. George and Kramer are superior to anything. ------------- -Will I see you tonight? -I never make plans that far ahead. Casablanca (1942) |

BBT,,,,,,,though some Seinfeld stuff was fun. I always though that BBT was mush better written and Seinfeld often seemed to be about nothing which was often said by many. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| BBT blows Seinfeld out of the nazi soup kitchen. I was never much of a big fan of Seinfeld anyway though. |

Can't believe this is even close - Seinfeld is the standard by which sit-com success is measured; BBT is a one-trick pony where the comedy is mainly unintentional. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Hi, I didn't have a TV at the time, and neither do I have one now ... never saw these things, and (c0nsequently) do not miss them. In all honesty I am not a TV watcher, and the commercials bother me. I find the mentality in the commercials a serious issue and a comment about what so many of those folks think of the people in this country! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

My favourie 00s-10s comedy is Scrubs, Malcolm in the Middle and The 70s Show (whick is not so cool show anymore), and the Community, all of which are funnier then BBT -------------

Both pretty low on my list, but Seinfield gives me nostalgia of being around my dad growing up, while Big Bang Theory made a joke of geeks which I didn't really like. My go to comfort comedy are Community, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 99, Futurama and The Simpsons.

Seinfeld. I do like BBT but I think it's basically one joke over and over. Luckily that joke is very funny. Thinking of other series' that a Seinfeld lover might like (beside Curb, which I think is even better), maybe Modern Family? In both shows the characters can't get out of their own way. Will and Grace also has that characteristic as well.
