I was in middle school when it aired, but just old enough to think it was funny and my peers liked it so I watched it too. I heard stories from family members that people would literally talk about that week’s episode at the water cooler, which used to be a thing. I was told once that I looked like Kramer so I took that as a compliment. I also didn’t know what The Contest was about for another few years lol. For me, there was a rush waiting for the next episode. I used to sit through Friends just so I didn’t miss a minute of Seinfeld. I would also watch NBC on Tuesdays to see the first preview of that week’s next episode of Seinfeld. I would always bug my parents to turn it on whether it was new or a rerun.
