Mad About You feels like a forgotten show. I remember really enjoying that show back in the day. Granted I was in middle and high school during its run, but I still recall it being a bit of a cut above.

Of that list, only Frasier is even close to the same league as Seinfeld.

My thoughts as well. In fact those are my 2 favorite comedies of all time, and the other 2 don't even register.

Re: Seinfeld Vs Wings Vs Frasier Vs. Mad About You

Seinfeld and Frasier are my two favorites from the choices. I actually didn't mind Wings either from what I remember but haven't watched it in quite a while. Never got that into Mad About You. I'd say both Wings and Mad About You seem more like shows that have been forgotten about for the most part and didn't live on much past their initial runs.

Take off Seinfeld and it may be an interesting choice.

I think that's because it's not in syndication much. Seinfeld and Fraiser is/has been everywhere. I know that Wings was on USA Network for a long time. But not sure if it is anymore.

1. Seinfield (Obvious Pick)
2. Frasier
3. Wings
4. Mad About You

Seinfeld



Frasier

Mad About You
Wings

I liked all these series. Mad About You was great for a few seasons but jumped the shark harder than any show I can remember.

Seinfeld is the only one of those choices that feels timeless to me. The others are a mere memory.

Re: Seinfeld Vs Wings Vs Frasier Vs. Mad About You

Seinfeld is in a class way above the others.

Frasier was decent but I found it got repetitive with the "smart" jokes and situations. And it got worse as the seasons went on.

Wings I think is underrated. There were many times they had a line that made me laugh out loud.

Mad About You - listening to the two leads talking made me want to slit my throat. Very annoying show.

Yeah I like Frasier but I agree that it got sort of repetitive after a while. I like the character a lot but I think that he was better as part of the Cheers ensemble.

Re: Seinfeld Vs Wings Vs Frasier Vs. Mad About You

a very odd random thread... (see a new member posted it, explains that)

Seinfeld is far and above those other shows, Seinfeld is in my top 3 comedies of all time with Larry Sanders and Arrested Development. The other show mentioned don't register with me at all

No opinion on which one deserves to be # 1 in my head.

Re: Seinfeld Vs Wings Vs Frasier Vs. Mad About You

I used to love Seinfeld, considered it the best post 1970s sitcom, and thought I'd end up re-watching it often. However, after a second viewing of most episodes, I think I'm largely done with it. It's still a classic and anyone who enjoys TV should try it, but for me, comedies need a bit more warmth and charm to stay in permanent rotation.

Same here. I still consider it a high point in television, one of the best shows, and I like how it made it feel like anything could happen in that city, and even social faux pas could end up as an eerie adventure ("how can 1st street intersect with itself...? I must be at the nexus of time!!")

But yeah, I don't like watching it anymore because looking back, a lot of the times the characters were mean spirited, particularly Elaine, but all of them once George accidentally killed his fiance.

I still like rewatching Frasier but once his radio show got cancelled in favor of catering to a Spanish speaking market the show was never that good again. It only got worse when Daphne found out about Niles and they started dating, and then Daphne's family moved in...then Martin got with that woman from Just Shoot Me.

Never watched too much of Wings but that was a good show. I used to watch Mad About You all the time but no one seems to talk about it as much as the other two Must See TV shows.

I couldn't and still can't stand the two leads of Mad About You. Add to that it was a relationship sitcom, I never even tried on that one.

I'm the exact opposite, there isn't sitcom I've rewatched more than Seinfeld. I've probably seen every episode a good 20 times.

The exact opposite? So you used to hate it? You thought it was pre-1970s? You think the characters have warmth and charm?
