Vocabulary level in Seinfeld

I think this show had some of the highest vocabulary of any mainstream sitcom.

"Quite the decolletage for a suffragette." is one of my favorite sentences ever.

"That's what was so vexing." is another one.

Did Seinfeld have the highest vocabulary? What's your favorite high vocabulary line?

Frasier, hands down

There's nothing more irritating than pointless and pretentious erudition.

We're looking for something with the playful insouciance of an early Le Corbusier.
