Used to be a Seinfeld fan but it hasn't aged well. Curb, on the other hand, is singular.

Love em both, but Seinfeld has more ideas and also four main personalities to fill its series, whereas Curb has maybe material for 4-5 really great series stretched to far too many.

I love em both, but had to go with the original, primarily for Jason Alexander's work. True, it has aged, but what hasn't from sitcoms of the era? I actually think Seinfeld self-innoculates pretty well from the issue of aging due to the unique non-reality these characters exist in. Rather than striving to make these episodes a believable reality, they are largely recollections from Larry David's memory applied to this alternative reality of their own little bubble. No, I think it is timeless despite the outdated technology and some of now "problematic" bits of dialogue. While Jerry was a pretty bad actor, the performances of the other three I think will be appreciated by new fans for a long time not to mention all of the many great appearances, Jerry Stiller, Wayne Knight, Bryan Cranston, on and on and on...I'm rewatching now on Netflix, and watching Jason Alexander's shaky start come to fruition by about season three, it's remarkable. And he just got better. Kramer and Elaine seem to get most of the buzz, but George is the whole show IMO.
