Fans would remember Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes in the 1989 sitcomSeinfeld, which ran for nine seasons before wrapping up in 1998. Her role was loved by fans because of her quirky and smart personality, and sometimes brutally honest opinions, but overall a very interesting character that brought so much fun to the show.
Despite the success and legacy of the series, the actress doesn’t think the stories will fare really well in the present time. Many cast members, including Jerry Seinfeld, shared their sentiments on why the show would not work today, but Louis-Dreyfus points out a reason beyond the obvious.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus Just DescribedSeinfeldin the Most Hilarious Way
During her interview withThe New York Times, actressJulia Louis-Dreyfusgave a different opinion far from that of her colleagues as to whySeinfeldwould have a challenging time finding its footing in today’s media landscape. She said that while it was a very novel idea when it was formed, the reason it stood out was because no one has made anything like it before.
When ‘Seinfeld’ was made, it was really unlike anything that was on at the time. It was just a bunch of losers hanging out. So I would say one main reason it wouldn’t be made now is because it’s hard to get anything different recognized.
Jerry Seinfeldmight disagree with how she jokingly described the characters of the show, but she also wanted to point out that many jokes featured in the series are definitely not aligned with today’s standards.
This comment came on the heels of Seinfeld’s previous statement shared viaThe New Yorker. He said that the downfall of television comedy was the result of “people worrying so much about offending other people.” The actress doesn’t think it was about political correctness but more about having empathy and sensitivity.
She said that if people look back oncomedies and dramasfrom the past, many of the themes, dialogues, and punchlines are outdated. Being aware of people’s feelings and having boundaries when it comes to making jokes on television should always be considered.

But, of course,Seinfeldas a television series will always have a special place in fans’ hearts. It had a very unique concept that is difficult to match and even remake today, even with all the resources and technological advances.
Why isSeinfeldSuch a Hit Show?
The success ofSeinfeldproved that even the most mundane things in life can be fun and entertaining. The show is a semi-fictionalized version of Jerry Seinfeld’s life, and it was basically described as a series about nothing. Like what Louis-Dreyfus said, it is just a bunch of friends chatting about the most trivial stuff.

But, what made it a billion-dollar franchise is its ability to display real-life situations expressed in a comedic act. That’s why many people religiously tune in to the show because the scenarios are relatable, brutally honest, and effortlessly humorous.
Seinfeldis currently available to watch on Netflix.
