Seinfeld's end theme

Watching this series again on DVD, I noticed something that I never picked up on before (because I suppose I didn't watch the end credits on TV, or the channels were airing their own promos over the end music) but there is a synthesyser part in the end song that sounds, to me, remarkably like Bobby Brown's My Perogative. When I hear it, I can virtually sing the words, "Everybody's talking all this stuff about me, Why don't they just let me live?" It's just a few notes of the song, but has anybody else noticed this? Just curious.

I tried watching this program and find the humor to be very dry. One of my friends love the show and always quoting from it

What the hell is so funny about this show?

What does dry humor have to do with Seinfeld's end theme song?

Perhaps "How Dry I Am" is the title of the end theme.

You know why Seinfeld is the most popular show? Cause people like to say Seinfeld.

I agree. It's always reminded me of "My Perogative".

Hard as this might be for you to believe, some people actually find dry humor to be....... humorous.

I don't know the name of the song but this is one if not the best comedy of all time. The show was about nothing or just everyday life. That is what makes it so funny. I agree the first few years were not that good.

Deviating from the main topic in my own thread....

While I think that the later seasons were great, watching this show again on DVD reminds me that there were golden gems in those early seasons as well. I don't understand why people diss them so much.

I'm not sure about the end title theme song, but how can you not find Seinfeld funny? The episode with the "Mendlebaum's / Dominican (supposed to be Cubans) cigar rollers is one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen. It's GO TIME!

#1 signing off.

I think too many people look at the first season and a half of The Simpsons, say "It wasn't that good, but it got better" and project that on to every sitcom. Seinfeld was gold from the very first episodes.

And My Perogative always reminded me of "Dancing Days."
