But a notably one is Seinfeld is not a working class show the way All in the Family, The Honeymooners or Married with Children are. I haven't seen the Honeymooners since I was a very young child, but I suspect that might compare more to Seinfeld in some ways. The humor has a very different focus in Seinfeld than in these other shows. And it is much more glib I think. All in the Family could still get schmaltzy from time to time. And even Married With Children would occasionally make clear how Al really feels about Peg (he might do it by knocking a guy out who put the moves on her, but there seems to be genuine love in the family). Seinfeld's no hugging, no learning principle that Larry David mentions a lot may have something to do with it. Seinfeld is also very north eastern in terms of culture.</p></blockquote><p></p>
