Is there anyway that anyone could have read this story and not immediately thought of newman. It's just too perfect. I can;t say that seinfeld is undervalued because it consiently rated among the best sitcoms of all time, but it was so much better than any commedy on the networks now that it doesn't even seem like it could belong to the same category. If seinfeld is ranked A-rod (among the best of all time) no current commedy could possibly break into AA (not even nearly ready for the major leagues, i.e. prime time.) I mean nothing today is qualified to be discussed along side seinfeld. At best we are trying to determine what is the best of the crappy crap on tv now. Some are still watchable (30 rock, the office) but they are pretty repetative (the simpsons, scrubs) well past their prime. I think south park might be the only comedy still worth watching on a regular basis, and maybe worthy of seinfeld like attention, but it's on comedy central. Why can't mainstream networks come up with something worthwhile.
