THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Coordinated Casablanca Bombings Kill 33 (2003)
In a single night in 2003, 12 suicide bombers detonated explosives over a short span of time at several locations in Casablanca, Morocco, including a Jewish community center, a Spanish restaurant, and the Belgian consulate. The coordinated bombings claimed 33 victims. Two terrorists were caught before they could carry out their missions, and many others were later arrested for their roles in what was the deadliest terrorist attack in Morocco's history.

Very polarizing.  Folks either loved it or hated it. 
still my favorite comedy to this day.  Maybe was just my age and the world at the time.but I still laugh when I see the occasional reruns.
If there were more episodes of the Soup Nazi I would have been glued but IMHO meh over all, I lump it in with Friends. I liked Frazier,Becker,3rd Rock from the Sun, Two & Half Men,Sanford & Son reruns.....to each their own

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
George Boleyn, Brother of Anne, Beheaded (1536)
Henry VIII had two of his six wives beheaded, but the unpleasant consequences of his marriages did not apply only to his spouses. After Henry's first marriage was annulled, he took Anne Boleyn as his queen. Though she bore him the future Queen Elizabeth I, she produced no male heir, and he lost interest in her. In 1536, he had her imprisoned on questionable charges of adultery and incest—allegedly with her brother, George. Both were beheaded.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
The Bath School Bombing (1927)
Over the course of several months leading up to May 18, 1927, disgruntled school board member Andrew Kehoe hid hundreds of pounds of explosives inside the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Michigan. That day, after destroying his farm—which was slated for foreclosure—he detonated the explosives inside the school and set off a bomb in his vehicle. The massacre is considered the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in US history.

Funny you should say that. For as much as I liked Seinfeld- Friends never did much for me.  

I guess it’s the difference between “a show about nothing” and what I perceived as drama with a touch of comedy sprinkled in. 

Loved Sanford and Two and a Half Men
