Seinfeld. Worth getting into? 

It was all on All4 at one point, might still be. I tried a few episodes from different points in the run. Largely mediocre. A couple of actual laughs, which is better than most sitcoms. It's quite cynical and mean in a way that i can't think of many US sitcoms being before then; i think it's reputation is more from being novel and influential than funny. That jaunty slap bass incidental music makes me want to kill. I wouldn't recommend it.

Those Domino's yodeling adverts are wearing thin.

As are the recent efforts to make football people like the Rednapps and 'Crouchie' into television personalities. 

I like Peter Crouch and he always comes across as a decent and self depreciating guy but his over exposure is slowly diminishing any good will I have for him

Romesh Ranganathan. Decent enough guy, moderately funny at times, but the sheer volume of shows featuring him or entirely about him is ridiculous.

Did you know he's a vegan?

Same with Sara Pascoe, another who's on the same TV circuit as him, her stand up is decent sometimes, but she must have shares in Dave as she's on every single panel show going on there. 

Edit - Ranganathan's stand up is decent too, they clearly have to tone it down big time for these panel shows.

I’m not a fan of Pascoe. Find her obnoxious and her humour really blatantly contrived. Also get the strong sense of woke extremist.

I would say so - better than Friends anyway which is on heavy rotation. The last couple of seasons went downhill, like all shows. And it had real, genuine highlights (The Contest, The Puffy Shirt, The library). It does look a touch dated now, like all 90s shows. And as said before, Curb far eclipses it.

The Peter Crouch Euros After Party was the worst TV I have seen in a very long time. I quite like him as an individual and the piece with Che Adams was good but other than that it was scripted garbage from a group of untalented, annoying arseholes. Not sure what Craig Telfer's role is- probably an attempt show they were also covering Scotland. When he did try a bit of banter with them it absolutely threw them off course and they had no idea what to say.
