Or — just hear me out, I'm going to say something crazy — simply consider: will it draw criticism?
This way, you don't have to use any of your attention span on Seinfeld or his shitty show.

Literally everything should draw criticism. Shakespeare's Hamlet and Arizona Iced Tea draw criticism.
But if you're going to be a lemming about it, you could use basically any sitcom set in the 90's or 2000's. I remember reading once that the writers of Buffy The Vampire Slayer deliberately avoided giving the characters cell phones because the characters having reliable, cheap instant communication at a distance eliminates a lot of plots.
Use Saved By The Bell if you have to. Screech, the nerd, is blathering about in the first act. The gang gets into a scrape in the second act. Does Screech:
- fail to use correctly as you would in the real world, because if he did the plot wouldn't happen at all? -- Great tech.
- Use realistically to solve the problem, and Zach has a little moment where he admits Screech was right about it? -- Good tech.
- Cause, instigate or worsen the scrape the gang is in with which has to be solved by some other means especially deus ex machina by adult characters? -- Bad tech.
- Play the main role in this, a Very Special Episode? -- Bad Bad Very Bad Epstein Bad tech.
MADOFF!
I don't measure myself against racists. That bar is far too low. Same for zionists (fuck off Jerry).
