What are you talking about? It is higher art than the average sitcom. As was Curb. It had the rare distinction of being popular with the hip urban crowd and the flyover chucklefucks. Everyone loved Kramer. Everyone loved the show. You probably weren't even aware in the 90s if you were alive. It wasn't "made for pseuds to feel more intelligent". No show is made with that kind of motivation. It just worked for everyone. If it were too clever for its own good it wouldn't have been so popular. But there were different layers and levels of comedy. There were jokes not everyone appreciated. It played to everyone.
I know you guys just like to argue for the sake of it but you really can't. It was the top show AND critics loved it. It was a very strange thing. Like the Beatles or something. Larry and Jerry were kind of a Lennon/McCartney anyway in their comedy styles, with Larry's being more highbrow and inaccessible and Jerry's being more simplistic and populist.
But now I'm getting into areas you couldn't possibly understand or agree with. This really is not the website for me to find satisfying discussion on any topic let alone Seinfeld.
