Day 05 - A show you hate
Jun. 26th, 2010 10:21 amSeinfeld.
I saw one episode, or at least a major part of one, sometime in the first season. I thought I wouldn't invite these people into my living room in real life, why would I want to see them on my TV screen.
A couple of years later, it's a phenomenon. Everyone I know watches it (obviously pre-SCA where few people I know even own TVs) and I try again. George's fiancee dies and everyone thinks it's funny. I threw up in my mouth a little.
Anyway, I remember going to Waterstone's Bookstore in Boston before it burned down -- and someday I'll have to think through the whole "why I might not use Amazon as much if there were still Waterstone's in the US" thing -- and being shocked at how deserted it and all of Newbury Street were. It wasn't until I got home that I realized the series finale of Seinfeld was on, so no one was out.
