One can only surmise that this List of seinfeldisms has recieved new currency from the DVD release.
And incidentally, what a lousy cover design. One of their standard promo shots on a blue field with the logo? C'mon, man, give me something spongeworthy. Each star on a black background, half profiles in shadows, looking morbidly serious. They could've just chopped the Entertainment Weekly "With the Beatles" cover.
But I guess Seinfeld, as wonderful as it was, was never cultish enough to warrant that sort of fetishistic treatment. While equally popular, smart-but-mainstream fare like "The Simpsons" inspired nerdly adoration, Seinfeld's equally instant quotability and vast minutae never seemed to draw the same caché among the asperger-prone introvert. I invite readers to submit theories on this phenomenon. My own guess: The humor and storylines of the show require an appreciation of, and experience with, social complexity and ritual. Compare with Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, each of which have like two women, tops. Frodo may have a problem getting rid of a ring, but he never has to buy a gift for a lesbian wedding.
