I've started rewatching Seinfeld

They go to the outer boroughs so that's not to strange.

I never understood why this show didn't get shit for being "very white" like Friends did/does, because it's even whiter than friends.

What situations, OP?

What, like nobody drives in New York City? There’s almost 2 million cars there for a reason.

It was the one in New York thing about the show.

Jerry you could argue had a reason for a car as a stand up who would have to drive to nearby states /cities for gigs

George when he moved in queens made sense too.

It was really Kramer’s car that made no sense.

In terms of it being “so white” that is such PC bullshit. If you actually watched the show there ole Rubin Black minor characters, sometimes for the plot and sometimes just characters who happened to be black and of varied socioeconomic status.

^^^ the one “Non New York thing”

And “there were many Black minor characters..”

I noticed that a lot of the storylines involving communication fuck-ups wouldn't make sense today with cell phones.

I recently watched the Asian Girl episode. The girl changes her Ls to Rs. They made fun of Indians (both types). The episode where Elaine is proud of changing a gay man to straight. Susan’s lesbianism “didn’t take”. All of it’s pretty funny, but no way would it be signed off on today.

True R5. This show had more black characters and extras than most sitcoms at the time. Seinfeld and Larry David also brought on a lot of black comics that they worked with and knew.

R8, Elaine thought she turned him, but it didn't take. She doesn't know how to handle the equipment like men do because she doesn't have the equipment.

The one show that would not get made today and I'm surprised it still airs is when Jerry and George go to Dalrymple's house and peek at his 15 year old daughter's cleavage. No one is concerned about her being 15, just the fact that George was caught looking.

I just finished the episode where Seinfeld makes fun of Native Americans. Ah, the 90's.

Well Seinfeld is still a walk in the park as compared to All in the Family.

I just watched the episode where to have a cock fight. The animal rights groups would be all over that one. It's hard to believe how much has changed in a little over 20 years. Jerry and George will constantly dating women way out of their league.

Because this show had better writers and actors so nobody noticed.

There was one episode that had Kramer step on the Puerto Rican flag, or something like that. People got pissed and I think it isn't played anymore.

In the late 90s I dated a guy who lived on the UWS and he drove everywhere including to and from work. He grew up in Manhattan and had been driving everywhere for decades. He was a wiz at finding street parking though I recall that he had a parking garage situation for work.

While there were no main characters of color. Kramer dated a black chick for a couple of episodes and Elaine dated a guy that everyone thought was black and he thought she was a Latina. There were also black characters who would pop up from time to time. They also addressed the fact that George really didn't have any black friends. The main characters were all right, but the world of NYC seemed more diverse, unlike Friends.

Yeah - Upper West Side had a strangely disproportionate number of car owners. The only place in the city where Alternate Side street cleaning hours were sacred. Totally different than Upper East Side. Maybe because more available spots? Or the people?

I already got the black population of NYC covered.

WHO! WHO, ! Who won’t we’re the ribbon ?!?!?!!!!!!!

Hey, bitches, I was so popular they brought me back for another episode.

Granted, not as strange as not adding the extra O.

George’s boss, Mr. Morgan was black.

The car parker was black. The exterminator, the family George watches Breakfast at Tiffany’s with, Rebecca DeMornay, just off the top of my head.

R14, Kramer accidentally set the flag on fire and was stomping on it to put the fire out when it was misinterpreted by people at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. At the time it caused controversy, but it now airs in syndication.

My roommate used to drive every where. From Chelsea to work in midtown everyday and used street parking.
