You really cant judge Seinfeld on one episode...
No, I can :)

To be fair I had seen bits and pieces previously, none of which enticed me to watch an entire episode until I was unable to sleep on a trans-Pacific flight. Annoying characters are annoying.

Almost all of the comedy I grew up with has dated to the point it just doesn't make me laugh. Had a steady diet of Monty Python, The Goons, The Two Ronnies, all that stuff. Thought it was the ducks nuts of comedy back then. Watch it nowadays and it barely raises a chuckle. The Australian stuff is worse. The Paul Hogan Show was compulsive viewing. It's just awful.

I've been watching The Goodies with my kids and they're still very funny.
 
Graeme Garden was funny. The other two not so much.

Agree. He was amazing at the physical comedy. Perfected the art of the over-reacted, double-take.

The Only Fools & Horses "final" episode in the 90's is the third highest viewed progamme of all time in the UK only bettered by the Royal Weddings I think.. barely made a ripple here, Chiwigi will give me shit but I reckon it was a great sitcom, Dad pumped it into me early.

Are you kidding? Fools and Horses was one of the best ever! It had pathos, slapstick and longevity!
The Royle Family is also classic British Comedy as is Peep Show and the like.

Shits got really bad now with crap like Mrs. Browns Boys.
 
Of that era, one thing I can still listen to is Peter Cook. How Dudley Moore got the big Hollywood career I will never know. He was embarrassingly out of his depth next to Cook.

Have you read the book "Tragically I was an only twin"

Peter Cook was the funniest man to ever live.
