I don't think appletv has this on the Hulu app. I'll check.
Edit: it's there!!
Friends.
Seinfeld ended when I was like 9 so I never got into it. Friends was always the talk of the town growing up, and I find that if I meet people my age who don't have some fondness for it I find them a bit strange.

I'm glad this thread exists, for it's reminded me of all the glorious moments that were in Frasier. David Hyde Pierce is a treasure.
OT but was looking at Seinfeld's IMDB page and the cashier at the diner was in the 5th most episodes overall behind the Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.
Elaine was the only one not in every episode (I think the pilot?).
Friends was funny when it aired but I would never want to watch an episode ever again. Seinfeld is still very funny to me.

Seinfeld, but I like both.
I've also been watching through Frasier which has been amazing so far.

Seinfeld to me is easily the most re-watchable show out there.
There's episodes that I've seen 10+ times and STILL laugh at them after that. The "bet" the baseball incident, the "I was in the pool" episode, etc.
So many hilarious episodes that I can rewatch over and over and still find them enjoyable.
Friends was a good show but it doesn't hold a candle next to Seinfeld imo.

Yeah, liked both a lot (even if they both have up and down in the years), Friends was more "emotional" but Seinfeld more fun.
I hit shuffle on Hulu the other night and got Risk, Serenity Now, and Assman. And they're all still awesome.
Yeah Seinfeld is so rewatchable. Any time I pass by a re-run on TV I always watch the whole episode.
I'm more of a Martin guy, but out of the two options Seinfeld by a fucking metric ton. Hell, I've never even seen an epidsode of Friends in it's entirety.
Not my jam at all.

I've never been to Delaware on purpose and I have not watched an episode of Friends, possibly ever.
Both, I love both of them, but Seinfeld is its own thing that no other show was able to do other than maybe Curb.
I can watch both shows forever though.

God. Watching those old clips. Frasier was a true oasis in a desert of comedy television rank with casual homophobia as the punchline
Of the two, Seinfeld easily, even though I'm not a big Seinfeld fan.
I'm a Cheers/Fresh Prince kinda guy, myself.

I really like Seinfeld, but Friends is part of my younger days. I get the weirdest melancholic nostalgia flashbacks to completely unrelated things when watching this show.
Yeah, it's some weird cozy place I return to once in a while. Mostly in Autumn, don't ask me why lol.
I actually like both, but Seinfeld has so many more quotable lines and much better, memorable non-core characters. The quality of Seinfeld was more consistent during the series, whereas Friends was terrible for much of, say, season 4-9. Friends characters were very inconsistent and got retconned in both story and personality, often show-to-show, just to pay off the gag for the particular episode. Seinfeld, whilst it did get wackier in the last few seasons, stayed truer to the characters.
Seinfeld has the Soup Nazi, The Contest, The Yada Yada Yada.
Friends these days only has relevance to give context to Matt Le Blanc in Episodes

Once, I said "I'm in a Matthew Perry mood" and my wife responded with "That's a sentence never said by anyone else ever." And by that, I meant I wanted to rewatch Studio 60 & Go On. I'm not a Friends fan.
Count me in with the Frasier crowd.

George and Kramer were also left out of 1 episode (The Pen). (George) said he would quit if they did that to him again.
Elaine wasn't in the episodes The Trip (which is a double episode and by far the worst episodes in the series) in season 4.
Edit* I still like The Trip episodes personally, tho. There just want much comedy but I'm the biggest Seinfeld head ever lol
