I remember reading somewhere that the series finale of Seinfeld shocked viewers because it was only then that they realized that the entire cast of characters were irredeemable jerks. Until then, viewers had hoped Jerry and his friends would be transformed into the "good guys." No such luck.
Everyone saw themselves in the characters and their actions for the nine years the show ran. It was like the viewers themselves were being thrown in prison.
Well I started out a bit doubtful about your thesis, but you have convinced me otherwise!
I, too, love Groundhog Day!
Any more movies anti Seinfeld?
Scrooged, anyone?
