I think it might work now as a window on 70s attitudes, plus there are a couple of really funny comedic moments - Moore trying to walk across the hot sand, Moore loaded on painkillers from the dentist, et al. I also really like the scenes between Moore and Brian Dennehy as the bartender. While the Bo Derek mania doesn't hold up, I think the movie might. I'll have to look at it again.

I need to see those again, I remember loving them. [13] Edwards had that nice late 70s-early 80s run of “adult” comedies – 10, S.O.B. and Victor/Victoria.

It needed to be done. I'm not a huge Seinfeld fan, but right is right, and you're right. I do like me some Curb Your Enthusiasm though. Ultimately it's just Seinfeld West (for cableTV).

The show KNOWS they are jack-offs, hence the finale that the audience hated where the show called them out on their shitty selfish behavior. There's just so much inspired bizarro comedy happening, you gotta look past that surface. I find that most people who hate Seinfeld tend to do so because something about the surface of the show reminded them too much of real life people they hate. And really, for an Albert Brooks fan to complain about characters being tight ass yuppy jackoffs? [6] Oh how incredibly wrong you are on this one.

Bunch of tight ass yuppy jackoffs. The supporting characters have their moments but overall...yeesh. 5) Seinfeld is the single most overrated show in TV history. Bunch of tight ass yuppy jackoffs.

I was only a dedicated viewer for the last couple of seasons, saw a smattering of episodes in the early seasons. Just great. They wound up the series so damn well, too. I need to own that set.

I'm definitely picking it up at some point. One of my all-time favorite series. Seasons 3-4 might have been the best (off the top of my head) but I could never chose one over the others.
