Someone just "wrote" an article about how shitty the first season of Seinfeld was, and they seem to think "nobody was ever brave enough to admit this" is the way to go:
I rewatched Seinfeld and realized that season 1 is lackluster and disappointing, and it's a stark contrast to the rest of the series. Despite the praise we still give Seinfeld, I think we all have to realize the first season is weaker than we thought."But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "didn't you rather bravely rip that season a new asshole all the way back in 2010?"Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:
Pilot (1989)
Good News Bad News (7/5/89)
Terrible. Although George's bit with the notepad and "why not bring in
another guy?" line is great. And his "I'm aware of you" when Kramer ("Kessler") asks him about commercial real estate.
Season 1 (1990)
The Stakeout (5/31/90)
Blech. Although noteworthy for it being the first episode w/Elaine, the
Loni Anderson bit, and the first time we see George utter the words "Art
Vandelay."
The Robbery (6/7/90)
Awful, except for the Odds/Evens battle and George's later agony over losing it.
Male Unbonding (6/14/90)
Absolutely unfunny except for, again, George. Jason Alexander gets a lot of shit (including from himself) for basically doing a Woody Allen impression this early in the series, but so far he's the only thing worth watching.
The Stock Tip (6/21/90)
Even George couldn't save this one.
