Everything is mediocre. Most is just trash.

It was somewhat original for it's time but now with the saturation following on it doesn't stand out as much.

The reason it caught on so well is because it pointed out how unnecessarily flawed the world is, and rather than change any thing about it the characters just complain about it (i.e. The Chinese Restaurant or the Parking Garage) like the rest of us. After watching it, people would see reality differently and ask "now why is this the way it is?" It holds up well because it points out daily things that haven't aged that we all can relate to, just haven't given much thought to beforehand. But I guess that only really applies to the episodes that Larry David wrote, because whenever it had nothing to do with Larry, it turned out to be corny garbage.
