In Seinfeld the characters are supposed to be miserable and you aren’t supposed to identify with them. People don’t go around trying to put on a Seinfeld persona (at least in my neck of the woods. If your area is different please don’t make me more depressed than I am).
The number of people I’ve met purposely styling themselves after Joey or Phoebe is depressing and it’s more accepted because they’re “normal every day likable people”.
Honestly? Most of the jersey shore fans I’ve known have just liked to drink and dance, relatively low drama and relatively self aware. Not the most amazing people but I’ll still take them over the Friends fans I’ve known.
Friends.
