18. Seinfeld was vile. Schitt's Creek made me laugh.

Seinfeld was frequently mean spirited.

Schitt's Creek reminded me more of Bob Newhart's shows -- a bunch of oddball characters making their way through life as best they can, in spite of their limitations.

Throughout the series even the most hapless characters eventually demonstrate some unique quality and strength.

The finale of Seinfeld was a train wreck. The finale of Schitt's Creek was a triumph.
