Is 'Seinfeld' a Legend After 10 Years?

Are you ready to feel old? It was 10 years ago this month that "Seinfeld" went off the air. The decade may have flown by in less time than it took Jerry to find his next girlfriend, but a decade seems like the right distance from which to evaluate how successful the show really was. When it left prime time in 1998, "Seinfeld" was widely considered to be a classic, and many fans call it the best sitcom ever. Was it either?

Or neither. As someone who doesn't dip into its bottomless rerun pool much, I was surprised when I sat down with the show again by how poorly "Seinfeld" holds up.
