Larry David co-created the show with Seinfeld before later creating and starring on Curb Your Enthusiasm for HBO. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cSeinfeld? I am Seinfeld. Why would I watch Seinfeld?\u201d the comedian quipped. \u201cWould you go up to your bathroom mirror and go, \u2018This is fantastic. I love this show. I\u2019m in every episode.&#8217;\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHe then acknowledged that Breaking Bad and Curb Your Enthusiasm were good guesses before responding to an attendee who mentioned Friends. \u201cHere\u2019s my theory on Friends,\u201d Seinfeld said. \u201cMy show came on \u2014 \u201989, \u201990. Friends came on a few years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tSeinfeld continued, \u201cI think NBC was watching my show and went, \u2018Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don\u2019t we try the same thing with good-looking people?\u2019 And that was a pretty good idea. I think that kind of worked.\u201d Alas, he never actually named his favorite show but just used the topic as a set-up for his material about Flex Seal sealant\u2019s late-night ad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDebuting on NBC in July 1989, Seinfeld starred the eponymous comedian alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander in the show about four single friends in New York City. Also starring a friend group navigating life in the Big Apple, NBC\u2019s Friends premiered in September 1994 and ran for 10 seasons with a core cast of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s 2015 list of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/lists\/best-tv-shows-ever-top-819499\/\">the top 100 TV shows<\/a> that polled more than 2,800 industry individuals, Seinfeld came in as the No. 5 series, while Friends topped the rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jerry Seinfeld is offering his thoughts on Friends \u2014 not that there\u2019s anything wrong with that.
