Seinfeld is one of the best sitcoms of all time.

See, that's the real issue. I don't have a problem with acknowledging it's high concept, ocassionally funny and mostly easy watching.

But everybody insisting it's endless comedic, best-sitcom-ever brilliance is overrating it. It's overrated.

It's not overrated. It set the standard. It's easy to call it overrated when you live in world influenced by it. It's like calling the Model T overrated as a car. There's even a TVTrope for this concept. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunny

Exactly. Seinfeld isn't funny now because all the shows after it copied it. When Seinfeld came out, it was revolutionary. No one was doing that humor. They invented it. Now, everyone and their mother has copied them, so it's played out. And since all these newer sitcoms had time and previous examples to improve on, they do it better, so Seinfeld looks lame by comparison. However, when I as a millennial was watching Seinfeld when it was being originally aired, I thought it was great.
