Also, anyoke watching the show 'Mr Robot'? A person at work said it's really good. I see it's on demand.

OK. So maybe a little young for Seinfeld in its prime. But The Office or 30 Rock didn't do much for you? (NBC always seems to do better with comedies).
No idea about Blind Spot, but it shows a good ad during the ND games.

Actually watched both of those off of Netflix and didn't know to give NBC credit for them, but I should have known that. Loved them both.
Never seen Seinfeld. Tried to find it on amazon/Netflix but no dice so far.
Still don't think there's a non-comedy I've ever enjoyed of NBC's.

I wasn't that impressed with the pilot. Felt like another boring procedural with a twist.

SVU was pretty good the first 10 seasons.

You are fucking kidding me right, you are 29 and you haven't seen Seinfeld?
Always wanted to and look for it every 6 months or so on netflix/amazon, but haven't seen more than a couple random episodes so far.

Speaking of shows, if you haven't seen "sons of anarchy", yet, I highly, highly suggest it. I've always generally disliked bikers but the show is just great.

With Dann Florek, who played Capt. Kragen on SVU for years. Hard to believe there was even a DA before Sam Waterston, but there was, I believe. For the first season, I think.
Ben Stone was ADA for 4 years before Jack McCoy.
Moriarity got replaced after Atty Gen Janet Reno tried censoring TV cop shows for excessive violence and he vehemently objected.

Blind spot is a big disappointment to me. They had a great opening scene with a naked tattooed girl crawling out of a duffle bag in times square. But that's all there was to this show. I watched both episodes and expected it to be as "smart" as the reviews pegged it. But it was anything but smart . The male lead is downbeat, humorless, apparently tortured by psychological trauma in his past---wow spare me. The female lead is either beating someone up or whining & crying about her loss of memory "what if I'm not a good person" .
The premise is ridiculous , the girl has one giant tattoo with the male leads name on her back, he believes she was a girl he lost as child.... then they discover other of her tattoos relate to upcoming crimes and terrorism , a premise that makes zero sense. Somehow they decide to take her along on his cases , he says again and again stay behind while I investigate and like clockwork the bad guys come from behind for her to dispatch.
To top it all off they film the entire show with Shaky Cam.....since the characters and script can't deliver much they use a shaky cam for every shot to try and generate some energy .....nothing like people sitting around the table while the camera has an epileptic fit!
As the heroine says " who did this to me"--well after 2 episodes I say who cares!

Law and Order was really good the first 5-6 years then it started looking like any show that has been on TV for more than 5 years.

Liked George and Michael was good, but Sam had hot assistants...
PS: I HATED Seinfeld the show. Which always seemed odd to me because I used to really like his stand up. To me the characters on the show started off as annoying and evolved into cloying and grating.

I don't think you'll ever see it on Netflix/Amazon, as Hulu recently purchased the streaming rights in a huge deal. I'd imagine the deal means Hulu is the only service that will have rights, but I'll have to look into it more.
EDIT: It appears that since Netflix got "Friends," Hulu answered with a huge deal for "Seinfeld." The license appears to be for 5 years. Perhaps it will move to Netflix then.
