Jerry likeable tho I did watch a few Comedians in Cars episodes.

That being said
Jerry's vastly overrated, probably the second most overrated tv personality in Hollywood, number one being Jimmy Fallon.
I have no idea how someone so awkward and untalented as Jimmy Fallon landed The Tonite Show gig.
I'm not really a tv aficionado or anything, so yea.

Heck I think Curb is a much funnier show than Seinfeld.

Anyhow Thanks Harry, interesting post.
Benson was pretty good, i forgot all about that show.
Dead wrong. Seinfeld admittedly had a stand-up act unlike most when he began. He certainly was no trained actor. Dabbling in comedic acting is no crime but hanging on to it for a paycheck is.
He has admitted to being a second rate actor and luckily for all he stuck with his greatest strength.
True stand up comedians are not TV personalities which takes them out of the running for being overrated.
