DMc, but the basic content of the Seinfeld series was the stuff of our boring lives, just stretched to absurdity. I think the audience was roped in by how close it got to our daily lives, similar to how the Dilbert comic strip is a scary-close parody of normal office life.
I suppose it is harder to script those to entertain as well as a cop drama. Life-and-death has an immediate natural attraction, at least as spectacle.
