Seinfeld

Season 1

Certainly not very good and doesn't hold up at all really compared to the modern state of television. But it is what it is. Much like the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this inaugural season to one of the great and influential television shows does not really do it justice at all. And with only a mere five episodes, it's hard to fault creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld too much. It isn't exactly a big confidence boost.

But what this first season does is show where Seinfeld started (that's obvious) and in doing so, really helps put into perspective how the show's rise to television and pop culture phenomenon is something extraordinary. Certainly not a good season at all and first time viewers really should not let it be the 'be all and end all' when it comes to watching the show.

I, and seemingly many others, are stunned at how NBC felt the show, based on this first season, was worthy of renewal but thank god it was.
