Not seen ether.
To me every Seinfeld seems the exact same. WHO. ARE. THESE. PEOPLE?! Jerry seinfeld himself is about as funny as a root canal. Terrible stand up jokes, the only ones phony on the show are kramer and the people around him. I cant stand to watch old seinfeld episodes for reason #1. On Friends there are at least lots hot chicks.
Necroposting lol
I can understand someone liking 'Friends' more than 'Seinfeld,' but for the former to be beating the latter by 73-27 is ridiculous. While 'Friends' was funny, it was never very innovative. It was a pretty standard sitcom about the lives of people in New York. 'Seinfeld,' on the other hand, was extremely influential, and had writing and casting that beat 'Friends' by a landslide.
I do like freinds but seinfeild is funnier
The characters were very well developed, and they had flaws and were not predictable. For example, Kramer on his own had more plot twists than in the entire Friends run.
seinfeld all the way
Comparing it to friends is ridiculous
George Castanza. Need I say more. Oh wait I will say more, Newman.
Friends has hopelessly dated itself; the main sources of humor in Seinfeld, however, be it wit or the commentary on life's lack of happy endings, remain timeless and hilarious.
Giddyup
you have to understand that this show pioneered so many things in the entertainment industry that i can't see any show being able to top it. On top of turning television into an accepting and understanding concept, It was extremely well written and hilarious. No competition
Man, I really like both of these shows but I've been with "Friends" for a while longer and I just feel that the characters have grown more throughout the series in this show than "Seinfeld." I love having a lot of characters and personalities in one show together and "Friends" really has that. It has a great balance between humor and serious parts in the show. "Friends" is my favorite.
"How you doin?"
Because more people picked it? Spam vote...
Hands down friends, love the characters and the show. I never really got into Seinfeld. I can relate to friends. They are a lot funnier then Seinfeld.
It's very close, but I would prefer Friends over Seinfeld.
I say friends because if you went looking for either, you'll be more likely to find friends because it plays for several hours a day.
friends is an unbeatable show that i watched growing up
