A few things to consider: Season one is pretty rough. The show didn't start earning respect until several seasons in. Season two starts to feel like the actual show. By season three, they're in full Seinfeld mode through the last episode of the series.

Stakes are never terribly high, which allows more room for jokes and bits of character work and giving everyone in the core cast their time to shine. You can see its DNA in everything from Friends t...
- The Robbery. (Season 1, Episode 3) One of “Seinfeld’s” earliest episodes helped establish the fact that the four main characters were in no way above settling serious issues in incredibly silly ways.
