I think seinfeld is worse. I tried to like it.
- Friends is pretty easy to understand, seinfeld feels like it’s somehow appealing to a smaller audience.
- Friends has a bigger cast and bigger sets - Seinfeld uses a tiny, though realistic, apartment, and the diner they go to feels more closed in. I don’t watch sitcoms for the realism so i think friends wins here because it’s better thought out.
- Seinfeld struggles to control his smile and laughing, and it makes it seem like he’s a comedian constantly aware that he’s just playing a character or acting out skits he wrote. I think Friends has the benefit of the actors not, usually, writing their stuff. Also in Friends they eventually developed brilliant talent at riffing/ad-libbing, something which Matt Perry demonstrated from the get go and helped carry the show with.


Less time playing video games, more time shaking up the routine. New tasks you don’t do regularly make the day feel longer.
