Throw out the first season and I totally agree.

Apples and oranges except for both being labeled comedies. Friends is very traditional comedy based on human interaction between real type people.
Seinfeld has 4 uniquely whacked out characters and then surrounds them with flat out off the wall people all of the time. The brilliance of the writing is how at the start of each episode they'll be 2-3 individual unique situations that over the course of the show slowly intertwine until by the end it's one whole story.
The Hot Tub
- George finds that acting angry makes him look busy at work.
- Kramer buys a new hot tub for his apt.
- Elaine hosts marathon runner Jean Paul while trying to come up with a line for Peterman's walking shoes.
By the end of the episode Kramer's hot tub blows a fuse causing Jean Paul to almost miss his race, Elaine comes up with the perfect line while out looking for Jean Paul, who she thinks is lost. George's fake anger results in him having to hang out with insufferable Steinbrenner in a hot tub, and Kramer, who's trying to raise his core temp after sleeping in a cold hot tub all night, mistakenly hands Jean Paul a scalding hot cup of tea during the marathon causing him to burn his mouth and lose the race.
