Seinfeld was a successful sitcom from 1989 to 1998 that helped shape the culture of its time. Fans on Reddit asked if there was ever an episode that got scrapped because it pushed the limits too far, and Jerry Seinfeld gave an honest answer about an episode where his character bought a firearm. The crew started working on the episode but realized halfway through that "trying to make that funny ended up being no fun." While the storyline was intriguing, it was probably better not to handle delicate topics in comedic ways back then. Nowadays, modern TV is more open-minded about such storylines.
