The obvious answer is Seinfeld. There’s not been another show with as much cultural impact and the ideas they came up with are still in use 30 years on (like double dipping)

The Hamptons episode with the skrinkage lol.I loved to be in the room for when they came up with that plot point.

And how they came up with Bob Sacamano.

You... you do know that Seinfeld didn't invent the term double dipping, right?

They invented the concept of double dipping and the cultural faux pas around it.

...no, they didn't. Double dipping was around and not approved of loooong before Seinfeld. One of the uses was double dipping in terms of people collecting a public sector pension and working a second job in the public sector.

Guest actors often report hating working with that cast. But if I get to hang out with Larry David, I'll take the punishment

Why’s that? Were they like the Friends cast and closed off to other actors appearing on the show.

I heard they would pretend like the guest actors weren't even there and that they were kinda full of themselves. I kinda refuse to believe Julia could be a jerk though

Look up "armin shimerman seinfeld"
