I know there have been other threads on this, but what the hell.


My kids gave me the complete 9 years of the show on DVD for Christmas, and, sick person that I am, I have now watched every episode, along with the extras, a bonus disk ... the works.
The symmetry of this series as an ongoing narrative is probably the most brilliant television series of all time. The fact that the last line of the last episode is also the first line of the first episode is the best example of how well the arc of the story really makes it more than a set of random episodes.

Moreover, the whole concept of a show about "nothing," is a philosophical gold mine when you look at the episodes. Moreover the series captures the self absorbtion of the 90's better than any commentary I have seen.


"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."

"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
