re: Why does "How I met.." get love, but "The Big Bang..." gets hate?

Seinfeld was also being created during a time period when shows like Full House and Family Matters, yackfests of morality were hitting their stride.

Very true. Which is why it worked at the time. Aggressive cheerfulness is just as terrible. But removed from that context, I find the show hard to watch. Which is why I think it hasn't aged well.

I also called it a good, quality show. Which it was. Just not as good as Friends. Or Mad About You, while we're at it (well, in its first 2-3 seasons).
