re: If Seinfeld Got the Girls Treatments

This is exactly analogous to Girls.

how many episodes of seinfeld were used to showcase why a character was the way it is? this season of girls has had TWO

girls is supposed to showcase "real" characters in a "slice of life" showcase, which is not what seinfeld did at all

You couldn't have a show at all without being somewhat sympathetic toward the characters,

seinfeld, it's always sunny, etc. all the "bad people" comedies are based in our inability to be sympathetic towards the characters and we laugh at the absurdly bad shite they do, because they're so terrible

girls, on the other hand, tries over and over again to make us feel bad for the characters to excuse their shitty actions
