As did/was Seinfeld in its day. So, if that excludes TBBT from being a terrible show.. The fact you called it gentle and vanilla makes me think you've never paid much attention, the main characters are incredibly narcissistic which makes for a lot of dark themes.
I'd guess you've never watched Curb Your Enthusiasm either, then?

Better than Seinfeld in my eyes that aired during the same time:

Then Seinfeld...
Friends and Home Improvement are truly awful shows. Fresh Prince is indeed a funnier show than Seinfeld though.

No they didn't, Big Bang is number one on that list. Sullivan and son was fucking horrible that's why it got canceled. I don't watch much television but Seinfeld is not funny, you can have your own opinions, you know that's allowed right? Breaking bad is the best thing that will ever be on tv.

I'll have to start from season 1 with Seinfeld like I have with my above list.
Give it a 100% try vs. Catching TV episodes that are jumbled.

How are you comparing a late 80s sitcom show and breaking bad???
I feel it should be compared to the shows of its time.

Yes archer is the shit. I never compared Seinfeld to Breaking Bad. Compared to the shows of it's time, sure it was the best that doesn't mean it's remotely good or has ever made me laugh. And Seinfeld is dark themed? Okay. I think we differ greatly on the what dark means.

Yeah I enjoyed MitM as well. Didn't watch it religiously but i'd always catch a few episodes here and there and found myself laughing out loud

Does anybody watch Aaron Mcgruder's Boondocks? It's pretty harsh and abrasive but it's an amazing satire of black culture

Because no one was talking about Seinfeld in relation to it's direct competitors. It was brought up in a general sense. The only people to bring up Seinfeld in a period setting is those who are trying to defend it's crappyness.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Season 4 kind of sucks but the first three seasons are fucking hilarious.

I have many I could call favorite, almost all comedy. In no particular order, probably my top 10-
King of the Hill Seinfeld Curb Your Enthusiasm Futurama It's Always In Philadelphia South Park Aqua Teen Hunger Force The Office/Parks and Recreation Trailer Park Boys Breaking Bad/Chappelle's Show
@MNNice We are all entitled to our own opinions. However, saying "Seinfeld is not funny" is stating it as fact. An opinion would be "I don't think Seinfeld is funny".
As for disagreeing with what dark means, that may be. Personally, I consider totally self-absorbed characters, little-no morals, joking about death and suicide etc. dark.
