it's not all about trying to find out if the person is lying or not though, i'm more interested in the stories behind the scenes like why the person is lying. If you just watch it because you feel like you can do their job better than they do it then I think you are watching it for the wrong reasons. It definitely does get better as the season goes on because they show more face time with Leightman's daughter and you get to see how he interacts with his daughter and their relationship.

I completely disagree with this statement. Seinfeld's comedy is somewhat niche even within the US.

I get all the jokes in Seinfeld. Unlike something like the British The Office which I don't understand whether it is supposed to be funny or not.

That's great, but I think you're an anomaly. It's very New York Jewish humor. People in the northeastern US generally find it funny but there are large swathes of even my own country that generally don't get it (i.e. the south).

Ew. I can't believe you just compared Seinfeld to one of the worst American sitcoms of all time.

Oh man, that sounds like my nightmare. It always amazes that some of the worst shows from here seem to be so popular elsewhere. Two and a Half Men has been the prime example for a long time for me but I'll add The Nanny to the list.

Lie to Me is awesome (saw someone mention it).

i can see what you mean but they do put a lot of emphasis on it which it kills it for me. initially, it sounded like there would be a lot of cool psychology topics but they just loaded it with the facial movement aspect. i think i got disinterested right away because i was disappointed. i watched another episode to try to get into it but still thought it was lame. i like Monk better because the stories seem more thought out.

Such an amazing show. Doesn't get the credit it deserves.
