I liked "Seinfeld" but didn't love it-- the general unlikeability of the characters (which was, of course, the point, not an accident) detracted from it for me. I can't watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm", which appears to be the same thing turned up to 11.
Then again, I merely like "Frasier" too. (Or liked, really. Around the time that Niles and Daphne got together, the show became almost unwatchable to me. Talk about negative chemistry: Jane Leeves looks positively uncomfortable in every scene she plays with David Hyde-Pierce. It doesn't help that Daphne's family is straight out of "Do Shut Up", and not in a good way.) They've had clever moments, but too many episodes seem to follow the "Frasier meets girl/Frasier dates girl/Frasier loses girl due to same personality flaws that screwed up the last 100 relationships" pattern.
