3. I was an early adapter of watching Seinfeld back in the '90s...

but haven't watched any episodes since Michael Richards' N-word rant a few years back.

I's too bad. Also Seinfeld himself very recently in a "New Yorker" interview blamed the political left/PC culture for the demise of edgy TV comedy. Like his comedy was ever even close edgy.

Jerry should just stay quiet and live on the millions of dollars of residuals he keeps getting for re-runs.

Julia Louis Dreyfus, a well known progressive and she of the THREE TV sitcoms and even more residuals, disagrees with him.
